Do you name your spinning equipment?
The new wheel is assembled (after forgetting to put the drive band on before screwing the footmen assembly to the actual drive wheel oops), and treadled upon, but I shall wait for tomorrow to actually put it to use. It did come with a significant amount of fiber, and I’m really, really looking forward to learning to use it. I see many hours of YAY! in my future, though it’s likely to be a period of swearing to begin with, given how long it’s been since I actually spun anything. I hope she tells me her name too, but for now she’s keeping it sekrit.
Sister is having irregular contractions and is beginning to dialate EEEE! I may be an aunt again anytime now. Think good thoughts for a swift and easy delivery, yes? My knitting bag is already in the car with a book and an iPod, in case it’s a long haul.
More tomorrow. For now? Sleeeeeep.
Having tried on many names, I now think of my Little Gem as Benezir.
