Российское Колесо AKA 'The Russian Wheel


Almost. Done....... Yay! Here are a few updates to what I am calling the Russian Wheel, because the wonderful Lady who purchased it has been ever so patient with me during the painting process and shipping delays and.... Once finished, the little turtles will be making their way from my house to Russia! Isn't that AWESOME!?!

It is a Louet S17 and almost finished! I had wanted to mail it tomorrow (Monday). After checking the second coat of sealer this morning, I decided it really needed one more coat. So the shipping date has been pushed back to Tuesday or Wednesday depending upon how dry the final coat it.

Anyhow, enough gab.... Here are the Pics of the other side of the wheel!

It is hard to see in the pics, but the pond in the center of the wheel has blue sparkling glitter paint as well as metallic paint!

I taught myself to knit by watching a woman while on a flight from Scotland to the USA in 1996.

I taught myself how to spin yarn Feb 15th, 2007. I think I've done fairly well:)
