new toy

 

     Drucilla also sent this along, a Bavarian supported spindle.  It's about fifteen inches long & 3/4 inches at the widest part.  I spent an evening with youtube videos, determined to figure it out.  There was that excitement of learning something new, and now there's the obsession of doing this new thing.  I love the flicking of the fingers that sends it twirling, like the spinning of a top.  Another fabulous feature is that you can do it anywhere- couch, chair, car (passenger seat, of course, or maybe long stop lights).  Thanks, Dru!
