Pimp My Wheel

March 11, 2009 By Carole

I don’t often talk about the things I buy but last week I bought something pretty cool and I think all you spinners out there might benefit from seeing it. Ready?

cup-holder

Oooooh. Aaaaah.

This cup holder is the brain child of Kelly and her husband Rick. It fits right on my Schacht Matchless and there are models that fit on lots of other wheels, too.

cup-holder-with-tea

It’s perfect for spinning in a big circle. No more kicking over that cup of tea.

cup-holder-with-water

Or that bottle of water.

cup-holder-with-martini

Or even worse, that martini.

Want one? Go here. Tell Kelly that Carole sent you.

    I have one too — really great!!

    I love mine!!! Thank you friend for thinking of me. Mine is set in place and has been used daily. It’s nice to have any drink in fingertip range.

    One more thing that might entice me to learn to spin. Or maybe I’ll just get the cup holder.

  4. Beth says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:59 am

    LOL! I was wondering how it would hold up a martini glass. Thanks for the visual. 🙂

    A great little brain child for those of you with a bit more grace in movement than I seem to possess. I always seem to nudge my wheel just the tiniest bit when leaving or coming back in those spinning circles and worry that a spill will not only hit my wheel but also my yarn and fiber.

  6. Brenda says

    The martini looks great in the holder! They were definitely the must-have item at SPA this year (I was in the circle with you, sitting with Julie and Patti). It seems like all the cool spinners are getting them!

  7. deb says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:03 am

    I knew it!! Is it too early for a martini? I’m suddenly very thirsty for one. What a great addition to your wheel.

  8. gale (she shoots sheep shots) says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:07 am

    I’m not a spinner but I have to admire the istyle that adds to a wheel- esp with e triple olive martini 🙂

  9. Manise says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:15 am

    Got mine last week! Love it!

  10. pumpkinmama says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:30 am

    You know, I was eyeing mine last night, thinking I bet a martini glass could fit in there (or margarita). Glad you did the legwork for me!

  11. Joy says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:43 am

    *Love* it – what a hoot!

  12. Ina says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:22 am

    Brilliant! And, as you say, so practical in a big gathering.

  13. Chris says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:27 am

    LOL at the martini!

  14. Barbara-Kay says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:40 am

    A picture of a martini on a spinning wheel should make an interesting poster — you should sell that one to a spinning shop! VBG!

  15. Dinah says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:56 am

    A woman after my own heart!

  16. Jamisyn says

    March 11, 2009 at 10:17 am

    That is neat! Must look into that….

  17. anne says

    March 11, 2009 at 10:32 am

    awesome!

  18. Betty in Texas says

    March 11, 2009 at 10:47 am

    too cool! must get a spinning wheel so I can set my wineglass in the cupholder!! LOL love it!!

  19. Knitnana says

    March 11, 2009 at 10:50 am

    For the spinner who has everything?
    Great gift idea!
    (((hugs)))

  20. Risa says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:01 am

    Ok, now that’s cool!

  21. Hillary says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:11 am

    That is so cool. It would be perfect for my iced tea.

  22. elizabeth says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:13 am

    That’s it! I’m ordering one! Martinis for everyone!!!

  23. Cookie says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:34 am

    Too perfect!

  24. Sylvia says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:56 am

    I am so jealous. Their attachment system doesn’t look as if it will work for my Alden Amos T-frame electric. ::sigh::

    So, I expect to see you wet-spinning some flax soon!

  25. Karen says

    March 11, 2009 at 1:49 pm

    Ha! Love it!

  26. Carol says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:11 pm

    Everything should have a cup holder!

  27. colleen says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:14 pm

    How’s your tension after a few of those, eh?

  28. Julie says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:58 pm

    I absolutely LOVE mine! It’s good to know it works for a martini glass; I haven’t tried that yet. Maybe this weekend 🙂

  29. Sara says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:13 pm

    Btilliant idea!!! Love the martini! Too cool!!!

  30. jill says

    March 11, 2009 at 6:23 pm

    I bet it holds margaritas too! Very cool tool. Oh.. and mojitos. Maybe a greyhound. Hmm, good thing I’m not a spinner, or I’d be drinking too much.

  31. Dave Daniels says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:30 pm

    OMG! They even have one for my Journey Wheel!

  32. gayle says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:06 pm

    Nothing for my Ashford Traditional, yet. As soon as I heard about the cupholder, I started eyeing my wheel to see if it was possible. It’ll take more engineering than my brain can handle. Guess I’ll just have to keep reaching for my beer…
    Fabulous idea!

  33. blogless sharon says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:16 pm

    got mine last week and yes my wine glass fits perfectly woo hoo

  34. jillian says

    March 12, 2009 at 10:05 am

    That is fantastic! It’s a crime to knock over a martini 🙂

  35. Sarah says

    March 13, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    How clever!

  36. Teyani says

    March 17, 2009 at 1:06 am

    heh heh – so this is the famous “spintoon” that Laurie mentioned. I want me one!! (I like the last shot the best – I am so with you that it should be holding a martini)

  37. Danielle says

    March 17, 2009 at 10:58 pm

    Heh, heh. When Kelly came to my house to check out the fit of the prototype, we talked about you. We cooked up an idea for an insulated ice bucket holder for a bottle of wine. We thought that might be a bit much, though … so, I’m glad to see you got the cupholder!
