My guess without looking is some kind of weird musical instrument.

P.S. Wake up again Patty .. I already stirred you once out of sleep this morning.

A pedal harp? A sock loom? IDK! 😖

Rats, Tyrusguy, those were my best guesses, too! Maybe a lace tatting machine?

My two best guesses were a circular harp or a tubular loom. (I think I was leaning towards tubular loom because of the way it sounds.)

I guess great minds do think alike!

I thought a tatting loom too.

I actually guessed 'harp' and was correct for once. I blaim this on the fact that I did not have my first cup of coffee. My brain and eyes were still asleep. 😊
