To: Knitting A Conundrum

It's a LeClerc Artisat, made in Quebec, and it's at least 30 years old.

I paid $350 dollars for it, which seemed exorbitant at the time. My Ashford spinning wheel, also the same vintage, was $85, as I recall, and totally beyond my means, but I had to have it.

I had sheep then too. Fortunately I got over that.

I thought about sheep once, because we have a place that's about 2 acres that we could retire to, but then I woke up.

Shortly after 9/11, when nobody was buying on Ebay, I got a good deal on my loom, about $100. But my majacraft spinning wheel cost more than your loom did!

Don't they just look like they should be the most wonderful "pets" ...?
