When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8.
Thanks for your comment on my blog Vicki. This is a very nice blog you have here. I would love to be knitting in that cabin. I will check out your etsy and thanks for that nice scarf pattern you've posted. I am going to try it out.

Noooooo, I want Spring. Today was wonderful here. It was sunny and warm. I went for a bike ride.
ReplyDeleteA month ago, I would have agreed that the place did look enchanting. =)
The photo is magnificent, beautiful and mesmerizing and I would not mind spending a week or two covered by snow in that cabin. I love the cold, the snow and the woods but the spring, summer and autumn months are just as spectacular. Too much of anything is never a good thing. Thanks for sharing your photos and your work. :)
