I Survived SOAR 2009…
...and all I got was this funny-lookin' spinning wheel that isn't even back home with me yet.
Alden Amos custom Canadian Saxony with very exhausted SOAR mentor recovering from SOAR flu
I'm way too tired to give the whole story just yet, but now you know: I'm home. More shortly.
(seriously, you know you're jealous about the wheel. it's all that.)

November 2, 2009 at 4:26 pmAh, man! I'm green to the gills--SOAR & a new wheel! I can't wait to hear the stories....I promise I'll be less green in a day or two! Hope you're feeling better!

November 2, 2009 at 4:51 pmI'm so jealous. Especially since I have a box with 2 pounds of roving in it sitting next to me and my first wheel (a gift from my DH) will be unavailable for use until my birthday on the 18th! I can hardly stand it.

November 2, 2009 at 5:40 pmLet's see, how does this go?
It's absolutely hideous, you can't have that thing in your home. But my home isn't very nice anyway, so I could take it off your hands and save you the trouble ....

Congrats on her!

I'm waiting (im)patiently for your book to arrive....
Ellen Bloomfield said
November 3, 2009 at 4:51 pmOh Abby it is lovely! Your wheel is well worth the wait. I can't justify me getting a new one that is for sure! But I'm finding myself eyeing a charkha or three
Mickey said
November 3, 2009 at 5:18 pmRest, relax, catch your breath now because you will be all about the wheel and putting it through it's paces when it arrives. Hope you feel better soon.

November 3, 2009 at 11:03 pmAt least I know I have one thing in common with you now -- the SOAR flu. Nice wheel. Wish I could have somehow managed to sneak off the Lendrum Saxony though.
It was great to meet you and look forward to taking a class with you.

November 4, 2009 at 1:36 pmIt's gorgeous! What we really want to know is how she spins!!!
I'm going to make it to SOAR one of these times, and take a class with you!

Kim said
November 10, 2009 at 6:42 pmYeah, jealous, but you know Alden had to be tickled to be making Ed's daughter a wheel, so it's all good.
