I was at my spinning group today, struggling as usual, so I decided to ply some coned yarn that I've had for ages. To start with all went well then it started pulling onto the bobbin without any twist. The person I was sitting next to (and chatting to) suggested that I buy a poly band instead of a string drive band and pointed out that I also could do with a new spring.
When I got home I went online to find what I needed. I ordered the drive band on ebay, then looked for a spring. I found one from Wingham Wool Work but, while I was ordering it, I accidentally :innocent: ordered all I need to get started on needle felting. I honestly didn't mean intend to do it but my finger must have slipped. :innocent: :innocent:

Oh that's terrible! How could such an accident happen in this day and age. There should be some kind of protection against that sort of thing happening :-J :excited:

It's not your fault, these accidents happen from time to time when you are involved in such dangerous activities :excited: :roflanim:

Your fingers have a mind if their own........never mind.......we all have those sort of accidents, usually accompanied buy a little fib about the cost...... :innocent:

Just watch out for those slipping fingers when you are doing the needle felting as those needles are evil and may prevent you from buying (sorry accidentally ordering) more crafty stuff as it's difficult to type with one of them sticking out your finger :)

Thanks for the warning, CC and thanks for your understanding, everyone. I'm glad I'm not the only one. ;D
