Remember Zaphod?
To refresh your memory, when last we saw my lovely new Hitchhiker wheel Zaphod, he looked like this: And now? Well, after a Saturday afternoon with Carrie and her new Hitchhiker Ford, Zaphod looks like this: And yes, the back of the wheel says "Don't Panic!" What else would you expect it to say? Be sure to check on Carrie today. Zaphod's semicousin (They share 3 of the same mothers, don't you know.) should also be making his debut today. And because Zaphod was being painted, I didn't get a chance to do any spinning on him just yet. So, I dug out some in-progress handspun from the stash for today's post. This is some Gypsy Girl silk roving that I picked up at MDS&W last year, being spun on a (*gasp*) drop spindle. I couldn't tell you the last time I spun any of it, though. And yes, Carrie, I DO still have "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" stuck in my head. And JavaJem - sorry that these are back on Photobucket. I'll make the switch to fulltime Flickr eventually, I swear. :) Stuff that is going in Ravelry may start getting doubled up to both of them until then. Labels: Handspun Mondays, Spinning |

Fricking too cool! I remember the dolphins in the movie! :D Coolest wheel I have ever seen. Hands down. You definitely are not a minivan driving wheel owner. More like a top down sports car!Congrats!
Did YOU paint Zaphod? Wow! When I get my hitchhiker can I commission you to paint mine?
Hee! I was totally going to say you should rig it up to sing "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish."
We are nerds. But you are a nerd with a beautiful wheel!
that's awesome. so very very awesome.
if i got a hitchhiker, it would be arthur, not zaphod. i'm a very dentarthurdent kinda gal. :)
Wow, nice paint job.
YAAAY Zaphod looks awesome :) And that Gypsy Girl roving is lovely. We really do have to get together to spin :)
P.S. Ford won't be up until this evening; there was a birth in the family last night, so we had to take my parents' goddaughter for the night. Incidentally, my mom and I ended up singing "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" to her :P
Zaphod is a work of art! Congrats - and good work!!
Awesome bling job there :)
Best wheel ever! Nice paint job.
Oh wow, that looks amazing.
I think I should tell you that when I saw Zaphod's paintjob I squealed and shook my hands. I have converted to a giddy 15 year old. And it's all your fault.
He's so cute!! EEE!
By the way, how much do Hitchhikers go for?
O M G -- that is the coolest wheel I have EVER seen. Bravo.
OMG You are the coolest spinnig frood on the block now!
Very cute!
Cool wheel and awesome paint job = tres cute!
WOW, it looks amazing and very "So long and thanks for all the fish."
If I weren't already as cool as I am, I'd be jealous of how cool you are.
Finally, I can see it!! Fabulous!! I just love it! Hope to see it in person one day! ;)
Now if we could just figure out how to make a wheel look like a towel, I'm all over it. Love it!
