Yay! You can do it! I was started spinning on a drop spindle and then once I had developed some competence it translated pretty well to the spinning wheel as it is the same process only horizontal. Best lesson I learned… if you get into trouble you can stop peddling!
Oh how fun! I looked at a few small spinning wheels at the festival. The only quandary for me is time away from knitting. That and space, but these smaller wheels are lovely.

I’m going to take lessons the next time the guild offer them, because I cannot figure out drafting.

It’s like riding a bike. It is really hard until that moment when it all comes together. 🙂

That is awesome, next you might get some sheep?!?! Now you can knit directly from the source! But seriously that is awesome and it looks fun!

I totally want sheep. I want Shetland sheep and I want one to be named Beau, that way I can call it Lambeau (I love the Green Bay Packers).

Awww – you are always naming your sheep! I could totally see you Beau hanging out by the spinning wheel 🙂

So far my spinning wheel is used for decoration, but I’m sure I’ll get to it eventually.
