antici pation
Mar. 31st, 2021 09:18 pmI WANT TO BE OUTSIDE. i've eaten lunch on the balcony for the past two days, absorbing the sun and hungrily watching the one daffodil bud swell larger and larger and get yellower and yellower. maybe tomorrow, probably Friday.
my new tent has shipped! also for the camping season, a replacement solar lamp arrived today and fancy insulated camp mugs are on order. CAMPING.
i backed the kickstarter for the EEW 6, an electric spinning wheel.* i really like the ethos of the inventor and he has a great track record and a very active community, also it really hit a sweet spot for price. it was supposed to arrive in February, but yunno, 2020. folks in the Discord (yes, there's a Discord) are starting to share unboxing and WIP pictures. my backer number is in the 1500s and i'm on the other side of the country so it will be a while before i see mine. one of my other 2020 purchases was a subscription to Spin Off, which now includes the digital archive in your regular subscription, so i've got that on the iPad and will be coming up with Yarn Ideas until the EEW finally comes.
Washington is opening up vaccination to everyone over 16 on April 15. i am annoyed that you can't seem to sign up for an appointment unless you're in the current wave, seems like a recipe for crashing every booking site in a couple weeks, but what-ever. it's still much sooner than expected and i am thrilled.
*i love my Sidekick, which is already small and portable for a spinning wheel, but the espinner offers even more portability - i'd like my Mom to see me spinning, maybe take it to a coffee shop in the after times - and it has ridiculously large bobbins.
