I am in a rut,

My last two finished objects are repeats of
things that I had done before.

Example,




















This time I fixed the ribbing and closed the face area
better.

and










Ribbed snow hat...

Oy..

I did not even put these two in my ravelry projects.

Today I don't even know what to do except that
the studio needs to cleaned up for guests
and the temp gizmo says 11 degrees out
and I have to stack the rest of the
cord of wood that came yesterday.

Shiess....

at least I have a choice of hats to wear...

    I think you need to pick a challenge for yourself. Find something that you admire, maybe a pair of complicated socks, or maybe even a sweater or bag, and go for it! Something that'll get the juices flowing.

Yeah, I am a sucker for the "Upstate Soft cone" the $2.00 treat that kept us going and driving from one stand to another when were utterly broke when we arrived here.

Mystery Wheel

Over the weekend, My wife Harriet and I hit an estate sale because we saw "LARGE ESTATE SALE (GLENMONT)" in the local edition of Craigslist. What really intrigued us was this snippet from the ad "NEW SMALL SPINNING WHEEL" To us, small means an Ashford not a great wheel What we found was Marked at $125.00 This made me want to pass.. Except this was day TWO of the sale and everything was...... HALF-PRICE...... This was worth $62.50 even if it did not work just for parts... I does not have a makers mark however BTW it does spin... See this image .. I added that purple leader and I spun that last night. Oh yeah it's a double drive that seems to have leather bearings and a solid flyer / whorl combo. Detail here.... Maddening I say, he who is used to the Ashford set up. I think it's from the mid-sixties as a kit-decorative wheel as the mains are affixed to the platen via square head 1/4" 20's nuts. And the legs have thread heads for screwing into the p
