Holy cow!
I actually got some stuff done this weekend! I don't know what got into me, and it will probably take me 3 months to get the next thing finished, but I'm feeling very accomplished. :-D
First - I *finally* finished the capelet I started knitting 2.5 years ago:
And - I got to use my 'new' skeinwinder:
This is the fastest I've ever spun and plyed a yarn. :-D This was a wonderful spin - love the colors!
And - I finally tested my e-spinner design:
and it works! The only parts that are currently secured are the maiden uprights. The bobbin travels a bit too much on the flyer shaft but I'll fix that once I put a finish on the wooden base. I'm using my original plying kit for my Babe Production, since it never fit the wheel quite right, and a sewing machine motor off of one of my olde sewing machines. :-D Now to pick a wood stain.... :-D
And I bought Boss Dog a bed like the one I got for the Lazy Girl last week. I think she likes it. :-D
These have memory foam in them, and I'm hoping they will be good for my old girls. I think I need to make the 'bumper' taller though!

Love the capelet and the finished yellow yarn. Can't wait to see them in person. And, by the way, what are you going to think of next - an e-spinner. You're so creative!

Thanks Dianna! I'd been thinking of that e-spinner for a few years, but only just got around to it. I still need to 'permanently' assemble it. :-D
I just love the yellow yarn - I need to find my one-skein books to figure out what to make with it. :-D
