This should really be an eloquent and poignant post, marking those new steps in the fiber world. However I just keep finding myself thinking nothing higher than-

OMG I got a WHEEL!!!

<3

The wheel of my spinning dreams no less- a new Lendrum Double Treadle Complete. I didn't think I'd really get one, but thought if I did I wanted a wheel that could do just about anything and be all I need. Many thanks to Mr. Pieknits for being such an enabler. ;D

I have to say I feel I got a great deal too- check out the free fibery goodness.

I just want to roll around in it...

Bountiful Fibers rocks my socks- great bonus package and it was here in 2 days!

Actually one fiber bag is missing from the photo, why? Because it's already spun up. Oooh fun stuff.

First merino too, so squishie!

Right, ok that's all I got. It's Friday and I'm off to spin for the weekend, weeee!

Congrats on your wheel! Isnt the Lendrum awesome! I got mine from Bountiful too,, Lois is such a pleasure to deal with. Fiber looks yummy too. I opted for the free bag (pre-12-31-06 order),, but made up for it when I went to Maryland S & W. Enjoy your wheel!

That is very cool! Have fun spinning away!

How exciting! Sounds like you'll be having a great time spinning.

PS. I'm new to reading your blog, so hello!

Nice first bobbin! I wish mine looked that good when I spun on my wheel the first time!

Wonderful - I haven't tried a Lendrum but it looks lovely!

That is so cool!!! I'm on a loaner Lendrum, but I love it.

I want to do some spinning on it, and soon!! After the move. After the move. After the move.....

Jealously,
Miss Knotty/Regina

Congrats on your new wheel and a new fibery addiction! Those singles on the bobbin are looking might fine.

Me = green + envy

it's nice having a hubby enabler.... :) looks like you are well on your way - the spinning looks really even.

Congratulations! When I was a kid my dad got an old spinning wheel at a garage sale and I used to love it. Spinning is definitely on my list of stuff to learn. Have fun!

Very nice wheel! And nice fiber too, who could ask for more? And thank you for the comment on my tattoo!
