Welcome home, little guy.
I won an auction on eBay. Looky!
What could it be?
Still not sure?
It’s a Hitchhiker! Yep, I caved and got a spinning wheel. I do love my spindles but I couldn’t resist this little guy. He’s portable, he’s cheap, and come on…the treadle is shaped like a foot for pete’s sake. And he has his own tote bag for traveling. That is, if I ever get the courage to spin in front of other people (you know, people that can tell I kind of suck).
Note how the bobbin came with some yarn on it…thanks?
Now if only I could hole myself up in the house and play with my new toy. But I guess I should do those errands I’ve been meaning to do. Olive might want to eat sometime soon, right?

You so need to call in sick tomorrow and spin. Tell them, umm, ‘your head is just spinning today!’

I was reading this way to early this morning and thought ‘you had to go all the way to ebay to buy a vacuum?’ silly me! But this is a very cool toy, er um, I mean tool ;).

Hi, I just found your blog via Ravelry as I was investigating the Drops tunic pattern and saw yours (and Olive!!!). Your spinning wheel looks great… I wish I could use mine (I need to take some lessons)…one day!
Btw, well done on adopting Olive…my first Dutch, Nik, passed away last year, and I’ve adopted a girl (Miss Eve) to keep company to my Hugo…they’re lovely together and watching them interact is better than any TV show!
Happy knitting and bunny snorgles
