That Other Weekend Thing
Some of you are pretty clever. You saw my ad selling my Hitchhiker Wheel on the Spin Sales list a day after you saw Adrian's ad selling her Kromski Polonaise and you put two-and-two-together and came up with four. And your math was correct. Bye-bye Hot Lips and Hello Pollyanna.
For those of you who like the details, you can read about her particulars here.
Isn't she lovely? The finish is walnut and she came with a matching stool, too.
She spins like a dream and, while I can't imagine loving any wheel more than I love my Reeves, I think Pollyanna is going to give Rosie a run for her money.
Of course, I didn't need another wheel, but I just couldn't resist this one. And, let's just say that Adrian made me an offer I couldn't refuse. She'd make a good godfather, that Adrian.

You must never count on me to be clever ;) Congrats on the new wheel, she's lovely!

Beautiful! Looks like a match made in heaven.

Indeed a beautiful wheel! I had one but we just didn't bond. I wish you a very happy relationship!

Pollyanna is a beauty.
Posted by: Karen at August 30, 2007 7:39 AM
She's a beauty! But I'm noticing you've deviated from your naming of your wheel rule using the first letter of the wheel's maker. This time you used the first letter of the wheel's model name. I like it. What fiber are you spinning on her?

Boy, that Manise doesn't miss a beat does she?! I love the Polonaise, i think it's beautiful. had I not found my Reeves Norwegian when I did I would have been fighting you for this one!

Another wheel! YAY!
:)

Nice!! :o))

That wheel is a beauty.

Well, as a LONG TIME Kromski fan, I send my heartiest congratulations! Can you tell me what those Kromski haters are talking about? I have the Symphony (it was a toss-up, but came down to a style issue) and think it is the bargain of the wheel world. I still use my Minstrel all the time, and adore the new Sonata. (I don't bother to reename as I think Mr. Kromski did a fine job, except that the travelling Sonata should be the Minstrel and vice versa....). Anyway, it's gorgeous (my dear friend in Idaho has the Polonaise in natural to go with her Swedish decor!) and I wish you many happy spinning hours on it!

The wheel is beautiful and I loved your fair pics from yesterday!

You sold your Hitchhiker? You did a good job of trading up! She's a beauty.
Posted by: margene at August 30, 2007 9:59 AM
AWESOME!! I love it!

Beautiful! I nearly got a Polonaise as my second wheel before I settled on the Majacraft. I'm sure you and Pollyanna will make beautiful yarn together. Congrats!
Posted by: Lizzy B at August 30, 2007 10:12 AM
It looks like she's treating you right. I couldn't be happier for you and Pollyanna!

Going back to Manise's comment, what about Kathryn? :-)
Posted by: Kathy at August 30, 2007 10:15 AM
I don't know much about spinning wheels, but I can see that she's beautiful!
Posted by: Beth at August 30, 2007 10:29 AM
ooooo..I'm so jealous! Everyone's getting wheels!
She's gorgeous...I love the color.
Posted by: Teresa at August 30, 2007 10:48 AM
I know nothing about wheels, but the wood is gorgeous!
Yay You!

Posted by: maryse at August 30, 2007 10:52 AM
There's always room for one more. ;-)
Enjoy!
Posted by: Beth S. at August 30, 2007 11:18 AM
I'm so glad it went to a good home! And I love that note Dale left for you when you got Rosie!
Posted by: elizabeth at August 30, 2007 11:23 AM
So your the bedroom spinner :) She is gorgeous.
Posted by: michelle at August 30, 2007 12:50 PM
Sigh!
So pretty. I'm trying to make myself spin a little everyday so that I can justify a traditional wheel. I'm just green with envy over here!
Posted by: Leah at August 30, 2007 12:50 PM
I gotta start reading that list more often.
Posted by: Lucia at August 30, 2007 12:57 PM
Ah, soooo beautiful! Someday I would like room for a saxony style wheel.
Posted by: Kristi aka Fiber Fool at August 30, 2007 1:10 PM
Awesome! I just received my first two Bosworth spindles and now I want many more of them. They are so nice. I waffled until I read several of your posts and then I just jumped in feet first. Thanks for helping me decide. :)
Posted by: Kelli at August 30, 2007 1:10 PM

Oh Carole, it is so pretty! Enjoy your newest wheel!
I haven't been able to get on your blog for days. I have no idea why, but it's working for me now I see. Enjoy your long weekend!
Posted by: Karen at August 31, 2007 12:52 PM

nothing beats a new wheel ;-)
Posted by: vanessa at August 31, 2007 11:31 PM
OOHHH!!! I'm feeling faint over here...
Posted by: Kim at September 1, 2007 8:10 PM
Oh, so you're the one that was "looking" at the wheel? When I saw Adrian's post, I really wished I lived in the US, because I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Lucky you that you live so close, and you were able to bring home such a beautiful wheel! I'm looking forward to seeing how you and Pollyanna get along :)
Posted by: Rachel at September 2, 2007 8:31 AM
What a beauty? Is Dale afraid? Soon there will be no room left for HIM.
Posted by: Laurie at September 4, 2007 7:15 AM
Oh man. SO jealous.
