Hey everyone! I’m getting a new wheel but first I need to get rid of my spare one! I’ve got it for sale but it just dawned on me that there might be someone out there that wants to barter with me! I need a new website for my blog, shop, podcast etc. And I don't mean that I just need a new whatever set up, I need something smashing, something wowser-y, something rocking! K.ad has not been in 'the industry' for years so he's not up to the task, as least not up to where I need him to be for what I want. What i’ve got is –
ashford traditional spinning wheel – 2 years old but only used for about 9 months, double drive/scotch tension, single treadle, finished
7 regular bobbins, finished.
bulky/plying head set-up with at least 4 bobbins
lazy kate
If you're localish -- lessons! both in traditional spinning (if you need ‘em) and art yarn spinning. You can come here to my fabulous new studio where I'll school you in the crazy ways of art yarns, or I can come to you. It can be once, or as many times you want/need/like.
If you're not localish and there's no way we can swing lessons, I can supplement it with some farm fresh fiber/roving! 5lbs or something?
a complete set up! Everything is in tip top condition except the largest whorl on the plying head has a chip out of it but it’s never affected the spinning.
What I want is a really, really good website, not just a blogger or Wp or MT or whatever, I need something great as my business is getting, well, you know, all businessy and with my BIG SECRET it's about to get even more, you know...
Let me know if you’re interested! Send me a note, tell me of your vast experience, your rockin’ portfolio, show me sites you've built, etc. I don't mean to be all particular, but I am, it's gotta rock!
This doesn’t have to happen right away, just sometime in the next few months.
Posted by jacey at January 28, 2008 05:18 PMTrust me, I really wish I could take you up on this offer. My husband has built a few websites but he is definitely not up to the task. (goodness knows I love him but he's a perfectionist and therefore tends to be slow at website building)
No matter, I'll just look forward to your new website and the BIG SECRET!
Posted by: Kelley at January 28, 2008 08:47 PMi don't know shit from shinola about websites, but i wish i did.
also, very very excited about your secret. excited enough to call you and talk to you on the phone, even.
this is the exact wheel i am thinking of buying. haha
i am a web designer and might be able to give you what you are looking for if you had some definition. so, i may be interested. if you could let me know a bunch of key 'needs and wants' we could talk maybe. :)
the sites i have built that are online right now are
http://www.studioloo.com - my site, of course
http://www.studioloomagazine.com - my mag - simple site
http://www.betterhollywood.com - with embedded blogger to allow easy updating for non-web people.
but i am also getting into understanding zen cart and it doesnt seem like rocket science. so, ya, lemme know.

Between my ninja design skills and my hubs L33T programmer 5k1llz, we could make you a completely fantastic site. Online stock, insta-purchasing and payment, whatever you wish.
And, really, I think I'd do whatever it takes for a wheel. I crave the use of a spinning device that doesn't involve CDs and a dowel rod.
Seriously seriously seriously, email me if you'd consider it. I can assure you that we'd be able to make it rad, and make the little fixes that will keep it rad.
Posted by: Sunday at January 29, 2008 08:49 PMWish I could offer MY significant other's labour and take you up on this. But he's busybusy on a big research project right now, and anyway I've got my heart set on the lendrum. But I'm SO EXCITED about the secret project! I can't wait to get there and see you guys and the awesome new room.
