In which I am a dirty, dirty, cheat...

Good morning my wonderfully non-judgmental people,

How are you? I hope everything is going well. I have a confession to make. I am a dirty, dirty, cheat. I made promises and plans, and I meant every word. But, then in a moment of extreme temptation, I caved. You may be wondering what I am talking about. I am talking about this:

Do you see this? This is mine. It is sitting in my house, in it's box (yes, I made myself put it back after taking the picture). It is an Ashford Joy. I saw it the other day (still in its box) at one of my LYSes. This particular LYS is closing its doors at the end of next month. So everything is on sale, and this puppy was right in my price range. I know, I was supposed to wait. I have projects that need to not only be completed, but started and completed. I had a list and everything. But, the temptation was too strong.
      I had only run in for a longer set of size 7 circular needles (the double points on the sweater sleeves is just not doing it for me), and maybe some yarn. When I saw it sitting there, high on the shelf, still in its box, where it had been waiting for years (Ashford has a newer version of this model, the Joy 2, so this one is kind of discontinued). It was fate, it fit all my spinning wheel criteria; small, folding, used(ish), good condition, and on the less expensive end (those of you who know spinning wheels, know they are not cheap).
So, now I must practice real self-control. I am still going to make myself finish all of those projects before putting it together. In addition to all of that I must pass all of my exams. Well, I must get back to studding, this one is math and science (algebra and periodic table of elements, here I come).

Wish me luck and thanks for checking in,
XO Lue Lue Ellabee
