My New Spinning Wheel

A gift from Nursekim.

Isn't she a beauty?

I'd love to take her for a spin

BUT

I'm afraid I might break her.

Thanks to the generous folks who cruised here from Seatle I had my best market day ever. I made twice as much as on my previous best day. I figure I've made approximately $500.00, after expenses, so far this year just selling my knitterly things on Etsy and at the Craft Market. Two of the patterns I put in my Etsy store are selling like hotcakes and with Christmas coming I might sell a few other things too. The $500.00 has already been spent on extras I needed...no, not needed but just wanted for the Crafter Market; canvas shelter, folding 6' table, digital scale to weigh my yarn, etc. Not sure what to do with next years earnings. Maybe blow it on a luxury weekend at one of those posh resorts in Tofino.

Thanks for including me in your life cycle (buy yarn, knit, give gift). The mini-wheel is adorable. Its amazing some of the things that Kim manages to find. Glad to see that your 2011 sales are doing so well.

That spinning wheel is really great -- very fine detail. Your sales should continue to be good as the cold season is upon us (or you, anyway -- still hot down here). No stopping you now!

That spinning wheel is lovely and a very appropriate gift. Glad you had
such a wonderful craft day

Sounds as though the tourists have really helped your business. The spinning wheel is awesome.

That first picture made it look life size. I was thinking, "That must be the space-saving model, since it looks built upright".

Actually, I have my eye on a real one that looks similar. Oh dear, maybe I won't be taking DH away for a romantic weekend.

That's great your fiscal year ended with a major ka-ching! And you've restrung and yarned up the wheel - looks so cute.

December 31st is my year end. I'm sure I'll be selling some more stuff on Etsy by then. Isn't it adorable? I love it! Thank you so much.

I was thinking that Kim is extremely generous.

For such a small model, it looks very nicely detailed. Does it actually work?

comment by troutbend on Sept 25, 2011 7:41 PM ()

Yes, she is.

If I had teeny, tiny fingers I just might be able to spin an inch or two before the bobbin was full.

reply by nittineedles on Sept 25, 2011 9:14 PM ()

Yay for an awesome sales day!! Way to go!!
