Comments on: Yarn is Squishy http://www.adamknits.com/2007/07/20/yarn-is-squishy/ The incoherent ramblings of a knitting, yarn dyeing grad student, who also happens to be a guy. You got a problem with that?

Let me know if that's not cool with you and I can replace it with something a little more sedate of your choosing, but the toes thing? Freakin' brilliant. :)</p> hey adam, you gorgeous creature, you — I horked your yarn and toes photo to promo you over on the Daily Chum (just opened - http://limenviolet.com/blog).

We won't hear from him for a month!! And he'll build some sort of supercomputerwheel that will outspin us all! Something with flawless ratios and scientific formulas developed for perfect treadle-speed-to-twist action.</p> Oh man, G. - you had to go and tell the nerd that he should build one for himself.

I've been looking at babe wheels too cause they are under $300 and all the bits and pieces that go with it are way cheaper too. I even bought some roving from Funky Carrie and Hello Yarn! I'm gonna take a spinning class soon and figure the $50 I'd spend on a super cool spindle could just as easily go towards a wheel. Resistance is futile Adam. They will convert you just like they got me. :)</p> I cannot resist the spinning bug anymore either.
