For those wondering where to get the Mother Marion kick spindle (aka Little Meggie) that you're seeing on eBay, look no further. Jan Ford of Heavenly Handspinning is your woman!
Jan now has her Web site up and running, where you can see her entire line of spinning wheels, Little Meggie, drop spindles and more. The prices for all of these items are very reasonable. You can contact her by email through her site regarding any questions or purchases. She is also on eBay under thefords4him and Etsy.com under ford4him.
I own Little Meggie and Gratia. You can see my post about Gratia here, and my review on Little Meggie here.

Yarn and Patterns (patterns free unless indicated)
Mild-mannered wife, mother and tech writer who carries the secret identity of Kneedle Junkie, a prolific knit and crochet freak. Weapons at disposal include knitting looms, needles, crochet hooks, embroidery hoops, punch needles, hairpin loom, drop spindles, spinning wheel, niddy-noddy, various violated woolen animals, and several storage bins of yarn.
One of the few times I knit anything for myself other than hats and scarves - I did this tank top using some silver/grey and white yarn I'd found at Big Lots:
I used the Trendy Tank pattern from TLC. It's a free pattern I found at my Hobby Lobby down the street but you can download it here as well. Normally they suggest using their Macaroon yarn, I decided to use a yarn from Sullivans called Crinckle that was in a bin at Big Lots for $1 apiece (I love a bargain!). The color is Cloudy Day - it's variations of grey and white with a lilac/pink shimmery fiber throughout that the pictures don't do justice. I get the feeling it's discontinued as I couldn't find it on their Web site.
