I gave my new baby a spa treatment last night with some Watco Danish Oil, and look at how she glows! I wish I was a better photographer so that I could adequately convey how lovely her wood is. I haven't come up with a good name yet, but she definitely needs a name. Any suggestions?
She is currently set up in double drive, which is new to me. I have only spun in single drive with Scotch tension (Schacht Ladybug, Ashford Traditional, a variety of Kromski wheels) and a little on a Hitchhiker which is direct drive.
And, she is just the right size to proudly sit on our small hearth, ready to spin at a moment's notice.
My hubby even likes her--bonus points!
Name suggestions:
ReplyDelete-- the Tardis
-- Jean Pargeter or Dame Judi
-- Suzanne Vega
-- Becky Thatcher (Tom Sawyer's friend -- think paddewheel boat)
-- Spinning Jenny
-- Suzy Sunshine

Congratulation on the new addition. She is a sweetie! Great makeover :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you. My friend Rondi spins yarn from her goats hair. I tried it once on her spinning wheel. I wasn't very talented at it. You yarnies are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow, she is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteName suggestions:
Squee! (it's your word and it expresses great joy)
Gretchen (it seems to go well with Schacht), or Gretchen the Lovely!
Lydia! seller of purple and early Christian. Might she have had a spinning wheel?
I'm happy for you!
