A LITTLE SHOW AND TELL

Thursday nights is probably my favorite night of the week! There's nothing better than friends gathering around the table with their knitting needles, crochet hooks, and yes, our spinning wheels! We always have so much fun and this week was no different!
Emily came to show us her new fiance's invention:

An electric spinning wheel!! Liz, a wonderful spinner and fabulous owner of Fibers For Ewe, is checking it out!
This is what happens when a fiber artist partners up with a computer wiz!
Just turn the baby on......
And watch it go! Emily says that she can actually lounge as she spins!

Here's Em modeling the elegant shrug I knit up from the pattern book Chinoisie.

It looks stunning on her!
The flowing cable cuff.

And after a busy week I was actually able to sit and spin a bit!
Spinning...Spinning....
Drafting....
Spinning, spinning.....
DONE!!! Now what to do with it???

Enjoy your weekend, my friends! Happy Knitting, Spinning, and Crocheting!
