Meet the newest member of my fiber family!
She is an Ashford Drum Carder and her name is Figment Imogene.
MelissaWhoSpinsbutDoesNotKnit and I hatched a plan awhile ago to be on the lookout for a used drum carder that we could purchase together and share. We had our hopes on acquiring one, only to have the negotiations fall through. We refused to be discouraged, but did wonder if really possessing a drum carder was all a figment of our very fertile imaginations. Through the wonder that is ravelry I found hermajestymargo, who really must be one of Santa's helpers, because here we are with a freshly delivered drum carder. And she is real. As Bonnie Jo would say, "She is a BEAUT!"
So "Figment" because she is no longer a figment of our imaginations, and "Imogene" as a spin on imagining because we imagine so many possibilities with her.
Fig will have an extended family of rug hooking and spinning fiber at Melissa's house, and the knitting, spinning and weaving goings on here.
Love,
Kim

Oooo, jealous! I need one of these babies! Congrats on finding one!!
Have fun!!
So...when are you moving to the country and getting sheep? ;-)
I'm starting to wonder if there are support groups for the yarn obsessed. Do you anticipate having to add a room to your house if this continues or are you timing to Son going off to school? (He won't mind sleeping on the sofa when he comes home for visits, right?!) LOL!
In the meantime, you GO, Girlfriend!
YAY :-D You'll have fun with that!
I love equipment and tools..... congrats on the newest member to the family! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a creative new year!
