If you knit or spin, this lady and her husband have tools to help. They seem like really nice people so I'm passing on the link to her blog. http://www.islandgirla.blogspot.com/ They lost their home in Hurricane Katrina but still live in the area (I think) as her husband works to clear debris in New Orleans as part of the Coast Guard. He apparently brings home usable wood he finds in the debris and they make lovely hand-turned nostepindes and darning eggs and the like. They really are quite pretty and if I needed any I'd so be getting it from them. I'd actually like a nostepinde at some point, but I don't really *need* it yet... and my spendable money is a bit tight right now.
