A Good Day

 I sold one of my spinning wheels today.  I was not expecting to break even so I sold it on lower priced side. Surprisingly I had more issues with the people not interested in the wheel. Once I had it listed it sold in about 30 minutes.  I packed it tonight. Another great thing about selling a spinning wheel is that I can pack it in fiber. This means that fiber leaves the house and the person getting the wheel has fiber to start spinning right away. Aren’t spinners great people?

My hand is starting to drive me crazy. The stitches are itchy and they don’t come out until Friday afternoon.  There is still some swelling too. I will ice again before bed.  The knitting withdrawals are horrible.  The spinning helps a little, but I can’t spin for a long time.  So I am left to play video games like a teenager.  It’s almost Friday is my current mantra.

Spinning Wheel Problems

I feel screwed right now.  On top of going crazy being stuck at home due to COVID19, I have managed to break both of my spinning wheels.  On the Louet Victoria I broke the footman connector, it snapped right off. It broke into pieces.  The Lendrum has footman problems, the squeak so much it’s impossible to spin with John in the room.  It squeaks at the wrong frequency for him.  Nothing to do but wait for parts.  Sigh.
