After months (maybe years, there is that Sleeping Beauty thing) of trying to resist the lure of the wheel, I broke down. Now I'm wondering why I didn't try spinning sooner.
The feeling of the fiber slipping between my fingers. It's meditative, peaceful, tactile, satisfying, addictive...I could go on...and on...
I'm a newbie with lots more to learn. I can't wait!

Gorgeous photos! I can't wait to see your creation.
Ohhhhh it is so pretty!
Yeh!!!
I am definitely going to be eyeing them at Madrona......
I was JUST telling my husband that he had better buy me a damn spinning wheel for my birthday since it took me about 45 minutes to spin 10 yards of wool tonight.
Is it faster than a spindle? Easier? I am so curious to see how you do. The yarn already looks fantastic.
HOORAY! and congrats!
Welcome to the newbie club!
I think your hooked!!! So pretty!!!
I shall resist. I shall resist. I shall resist :)
Rani -- thanks! Yes, your husband needs to get busy on that birthday present for you. Totally faster than a spindle; although, I still enjoy the spindle.
WooHoo! Welcome to the darkside:) From one green bean to another ha ha...
Love your new wheel!
Funny, I've been looking at wheels myself. I'm hoping to pick up a Kromski Sonata by May. In the meantime, I know squat about spinning. Lots to learn!
Pretty wheel!
I'm going to have to get a whole lot better before I shell out any money for a weel for myself.
I know nothing about wheels, but WOW, that looks pretty! Enjoy!
Nice wheel!! I like the relaxing feeling I get when I spin. I'm pretty new too so it's not perfect, but relaxing. Hehe how long before IGK's tries it ;)
WHOA!!! LOVE the new wheel and that spinning! The Lendrum has been on my 'to buy' list since pre-Sock camp days! One day...
spinning is facinating. I've promised myself I will try after Bitsy goes to kindergarten. In Colonial Williamsburg (I live close) the weaver takes apprentices! I'm going to find out what it takes to be an apprentice!
