with this………..
This is the thing I have been pining for and dreaming about. It’s all mine….mine, mine, mine.
My Louet drum carder. Isn’t she sexy? Here is my first batt (which I had to tackle about 5 minutes out of the box…..
Still on the carder….Soon to be this.
I am so in love. I am romantically attached. I want to dedicate poems to its’ loveliness and make sure that it is always caressed with the most luscious fibre.
Side profile of same batt…
I want to not attach so much importance to this “thing”…but she is special…She changes everything. She makes the sun shine brighter and I shall call her Aisha.
At the end of the first day I am the proud mama to this wall of batts..No they are not for sale. They will all be spun and knit by me. I cannot let them go…..
Believe it or not, I actually have to return to the knitting…..Not happy…want to be with my new romance…Will she wait for me….?
Aaaaah…. I have my guild’s drum carder on loan right now and I don’t want to give it back, nor do I know how I ever lived without one. I know of what you speak!
Wow! What a wonderful day you had! The batts are gorgeous. Take it easy or you’ll get pain in your chest from turning the crank. Ask me how I know!! 🙂
I’m spinning the first one today, so I will definitely let you know if it is retail worthy….I would never let a friend have a bad batt….
I so WANT one of those!! The drum carder that is. Maybe one of them batts would be nice too. Those all look like they would be a dream to spin!
They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
