Can you rig this to a bike? With a power meter?Originally Posted by indigoiis
That would be perfect for Knott, or anyone who rides and knitts.

Actually, this is not so weird! DH has recently learned to embrace the magic of wool...and he actually asked how hard it would be to make our own yarn and knit our own stuff! And, I just checked, and there is a shop just down the road from us that carries all the stuff and has classes. How fun!!! Originally Posted by indigoiis
Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I got this for my DH one year and he loves it. He sits and relaxes and spins. Also, bicyclists make excellent spinners, because they have the cadence thing down. It's cool. And it's cool when guys do it. You can get fiber from anywhere - check for local alpaca or merino sheep wool farms. He can then sell his yarn, which is in high demand these days with the knitting craze....

My oldest son (9 at the time) and some of his mates went to knitting classes. They made some wonderful stuff. I got a lovely scarf as a present.

The one pictured is the one I got him - an Ashford Kiwi. They are very good beginner's to intermediate wheels and quite reasonably priced. My DH took two lessons and then the rest was on his own. Originally Posted by GLC1968

You're in Western NC, right? I know of an Alpaca farm - Venezia Dream - just east of Asheville - very nice woman who owns it who is also on the board of the National fiber co-op. She could sell you some fine wool to work with!
Good luck and have fun with it. Spinning is in awesome pasttime!
(I just noticed your in Greensboro... so not so close to Asheville. But I bet there's other farms nearby to you... including sheep farms!)I can do five more miles.

Peace on earth, and good will toward beagles and other little brown hound dogs.
Failing that, a Soul Cycle (with the Down Low Glow) from http://www.rockthebike.com
And some time to go ride it...

Christmas wish:
Sidi Heated Shoe Insoles
No snow/ice or brutally cold weather this winter
A Seven fork for my Luna Eclipse
A more interesting job with a healthy, friendly work environment where hard work and dedication to mission is appreciated, not ridiculed/denegrated
Fiona, housebroken and beyond her chew/bite stage (otherwise, "farty girl" is the perfect golden retriever puppy)
This weekend, I read an interesting article in the WSJ about high-tech winter bike clothes/equipments. One manufacturer has developed HEATED GLOVES that will hit the marketplace in 2009. Like my wished-for insoles, these suckers will be battery powered and rechargeable.

To make the right decision - holding out that I will find a job where I work that will pay me what I was making(before I got hurt at work) or just give up(on worker's comp) and go back to my profession and work in pain.
