So I started checking every morning, alas I have no money buuuuuuut I'm checking anyway. I see several things come and go but I'm trying to be good and some of them are too far away. Then it happened, someone put up an item at a price I could manage and bonus it's 10 minutes from the parents place. I called right away, did you know it's OK to call people at 8am in Maine? They get up early up there. I called mom at work, she's in a meeting with the Governor WHOOOPS, but dude who knew mom would have a meeting with the Governor?!? So mom calls back and out of fear that the item would be gone decides to pick it up after work and bonus she's coming down on Saturday anyway so she'll bring it. I call hubby at work to "ask" if I can borrow out of the emergency fund. OK ask is not really the word, there was pouting and begging but when I pointed out it was less than half what a new one was going to cost in a couple months he caved.
I spent the next month learning, swearing, practicing, swearing, reading, swearing and well there was a lot of swearing. It's part of my learning process so shoot me. I did finally figure it out and well I love it. Want to see?
It's a used Louet S15 that came with a skein winder for $200 bucks.
I've been making some yarns.
I've even been knitting it up.
How cool?! I gots me a new skill in just a month.... now to convince hubby a couple sheep would really love to live in the burbs. I mean we have a lawn and eating is sort of like mowing right?
