I am hoping to track down a ladybug wheel with my part of the tax refund, it really looks like it will be good for a beginner moving from a drop spindle to a wheel, and hopefully have enough extras and add on capability to last me through the years. with your seal of approval it has to be wonderful! thank you for all the great links, I can't wait to play with my own rainbows of fluff.bitten78https://www.blogger.com/profile/07757926135450247501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-21459212020317982612012-03-07T07:27:20.950-06:002012-03-07T07:27:20.950-06:00Susie, your yarn is absolutely gorgeous!!!

I don't have a wheel and it is surely not in the budget at this time. Or, the time budget, either! You remember those days- I have 2 active little boys and baby sister will be joining us in June :). For now, I guess I'll just try to keep knitting as much as I can! I am truly enjoying knitting for this baby girl! I have several Itty Bitty hats in mind! I can always get my spinning fix from your wonderful blog - for now! Thanks so much! Your crafting posts make my day!thewalshfamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539315538585206329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-55976184752083209182012-03-07T06:14:22.887-06:002012-03-07T06:14:22.887-06:00I'm really interested in learning how to spin!...I'm really interested in learning how to spin!

Thanks for sharing the before and after pictures; I love these progress posts, and it inspires me.<br /><br />I learned to spin on a friend's wheel a couple years ago, and I hope to purchase a wheel of my own in the next year or two. I'm thinking I want to take a class, though, to learn more about spinning different fibers, plying, etc.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006548454118363234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-29758748813380118142012-03-06T12:16:42.109-06:002012-03-06T12:16:42.109-06:00I've been eyeing the bulls eye batts on Etsy f...I've been eyeing the bulls eye batts on Etsy for a while now... but I have so much roving around here I should really see if I could make my own. <br />I'm glad you had a good experience spinning from batts - they're my go-to for spinning now, since the drafting is really already done. And, I love all the "extras" - sparkle, sari silk, different textures.Kate (KnitsInClass)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09830097610159445833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-11384876548720882522012-03-06T11:41:48.684-06:002012-03-06T11:41:48.684-06:00I got my first wheel for my birthday last December...I got my first wheel for my birthday last December & have been spinning up a storm!<br /><br />Thanks to The Knit Girllls, I've spun Shetland & found Unwind Yarn Company. Dana has a good variety of fibers & is very careful when she dyes. Her fibers are so fluffy, with no predrafting required. I just finished spinning a 4 oz braid of her BFL/silk blend - so smooth & drapey!<br /><br />I also have a few partial fleeces and some alpaca that I am eager to begin spinning. <br /><br />I want to spin all the fibers & knit all the things!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122325122196356286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-36185280960633632182012-03-06T11:32:07.621-06:002012-03-06T11:32:07.621-06:00I've seriously had to hold myself back from ev...I've seriously had to hold myself back from even considering a wheel. I want to learn so badly (watching the KnitGirllls show their progress each week never helps...lol). I'm still holding out. When I decide to get serious about it, I'll start looking at wheels. Who knows...perhaps in October I'll pick up fiber in Rhinebeck and then I'll just HAVE to get a wheel! :)Rae Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255670457484925517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-24532385778232007612012-03-06T09:08:56.055-06:002012-03-06T09:08:56.055-06:00Beautiful!

I love how our youngest son keeps me company while I spin! I got some merino from Enchanted Knoll at the Loopy Ewe and spun @ 800 yards- it will be a shawl, I hope!
