In one of my back issues of Spin-Off Magazine, in the letters to the editor, a reader sent in her photos of her bicycle spinning wheel she made using their article. These are my clues, and now I am on the case. Searching for the back issue where the pattern appears (I don't remember a notation about the issue).
I really want my wheel to still look like a bicycle. The kids love to use my wheel, but I usually have a bigger project loaded on my bobbin, so it makes sense to convert this ratty old bike I just found in pieces on the curb (with a free bike sign).
I finally took a minute to look through my old Spin-Off back issues, and it must really be important, because the magazine was on top, folded open to that page! Here is the letter to the editor I am using for Phase 3- buying the back issue.
See the important data? Summer 2000. Off to Interweave web-site to buy.
Phase 3
Phase 3 admittedly took me all of 3 minutes. It will take you less. For $12, you get 4 back issues from 2000, the summer one containing the article on the bicycle spinning wheel. I'm still in the check-out, but in 5 minutes I should be reading the article. Here's the link . Let me know if you try this. I'll be posting the construction and use in separate blogs. Isn't the internet wonderful?
