May your needles fly as fast as dragonflies....
I'm doing a craft show this weekend, just going with the idea to have fun and meet some people. With the economy the way it is, I'm not expecting too much.
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.
Well, you never know. I have heard from people who went to Rhinebeck and had great success! Apparently not everyone is feeling the pinch, or they've all decided to support one another.
ReplyDeleteI'm living vicariously because it's cheaper. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the picture. Maybe I'll knit there in my meditation tonight.
Virtual knitting, you know.
I'm only an hour away from Gatlinburg. I could pack up my knitting bag and go!
ReplyDeleteI know every one has their favorite places and I am not a great traveler however the two most beautiful states in my opinion are Tennessee and Montana. Yes, yes, yes I would like to be knitting there!
ReplyDeleteHope you had fun at the craft show :)
ReplyDeleteHope the craft show is a success.
