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.
Walking along the Seine with a drop spindle in your hand. How cool is that.
ReplyDeleteThat is just absolutely beautiful, I don't see buildings like that in Florida. BTW, I should open up shop with those handbags. The only thing is the pattern is from "Stitch n Bitch" don't think I could make money from them. But, I do love making them for people.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Fancy!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't get any knitting done! I'd be too busy looking at the pretty architecture.
