Etsy Purchases

Last week was a pretty good week. I saw my Robert Gerard a bunch and I got my taxes back, with $600 more then I expected! Some stimulous thing...anyways I decided to treat myself to a little etsy shopping to celebrate. I think I spent a little under $40 and I am in love with both my purchases.

First I got a WPI gauge from KaratStix for my handspun. This will help me figure out the yarn weight I am spinning....I am hoping to get fingering weight some day for socks. =)

Then I bought myself a new spindle. I haven't been using my spindle that much since I bought my wheel. I just have a plain wooden ashford spindle, so I thought I would buy a more asthetically pleasing one to help inspire me to use it. It is 1 oz with a jade whorl from butterflygirldesigns....perfect for my Asian style.

Cant wait for them to get here, especially my spindle, I tend to spin thinner on spindles then on the wheel so I want to make a few bobbins full with it and ply it on the wheel to see what I get. I will give an update when I use it. Hopefully it will spin like a dream!

P.S 22 weeks til Disney!
