I was shopping a couple of weeks ago and came across this childrens' book about a little hedgehog. I thought "Wow, that looks alot like the little stuffed hedgehogs I make. Who do I know that has a little one that this would be good for?" Luckily, Velvet Avalon has just someone, her niece. I bought the book and made up a hedgie with outfit to match the book. I think baby J will like this. It is pretty much the only "gift" knitting I have done for Christmas.
But, lets take a look at something great!!! My Great Wheel. My D1 got this for me. It was missing the spindle head so I got out my books and figured out how to make one. This photo shows it just clamped to the wheel table. I will be
making a more permanent one fairly soon. This set up ratio is about 30:1 and it spins like a dream!!!
Work continues on Level 4 of the Master Spinners program. I will post more pix of the tools I have made to help complete this level. For instance, I made my own hackle, diz from an old ivory piano key and some supported spindles.
