Mom Rocks!

So, let it be known... My Mom Rocks!

I mentioned to her that Whiskey Tins made the best containers for drop spindles. She then looked though her boxes & found 2 for me.

Whisky Tins for Drop Spindles

The Jack Daniel's tin is now housing my Grafton Fiber Ship. I'm not sure what's going to live in the Chivas Regal tin. Maybe one of these?

Drop Spindles

I didn't keep one last time we got these in & I really regretted it. However it's just too hard to choose!

I also have further evidence of the rocking nature of my mom though. She also sent me this:

Cinnamon Sugar Grinder

A Cinnamon Sugar Grinder. How cool is that?! I still love Cinnamon Sugar toast & am a sucker for any sort of seasoning grinder. I know what's for breakfast tomorrow (or maybe an afternoon snack?).

Oh, I even have managed to knit something. (well I've knit lots, but this actually got photographed). I knit 2 of these French Press Cozies from Knitalong in Silk Garden Sock Yarn.

French Press Cosy

One of them is on it's way to my mom to say Thanks!
They're totally fun to knit & help solve that problem of glass being an awful insulator.

Back to spinning~

Whiskey containers are an EXCELLENT idea for keeping drop spindles, thanks for the tip. I totally NEED the spindle with the rectangles in the center of that photo - any chance of convincing you to ship it to RI if you haven't sold it yet?

Way to tempt me with more gorgeous spindles! :) The tins are a great idea-- right now I have mine in a couple of big handmade mugs on my bookshelf.

One of the gals in my knitting group brought her spindles in to show us. She carried them in a wine carrier. Upright box with a handle and hinged top. Cool! Do you have a pattern for the French Press cozy? How does it fasten? I love it out of Noro!

Looks like a great excuse to imbibe! Love the French press cozies.

Your handspun is looking good. I have just started the delicious Crown Mountain fibre that you sent me for SP...10, I think it was.
