My dear husband offered to cart the kids off to school this morning, allowing me the extra time to show you this:
My Precious!
We put her together last night, and just like the little booklet told me to, I practiced treadling. Bout killed me of course, that I couldn't dive into the two pounds of the Bluefaced Leicester Top that came with her, but I am all about being the good student. So first, I will practice my treadling. She's quiet. The little wheel goes round and round. That's about all I can tell you so far.
Right now I'm off to work. And not just a regular day, but one of those long ten hour days, so my precious will have to wait a little bit longer to sink her teeth into some lovely roving.
Ya'll have a good day, too!

OOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!! That is one sweet wheel, Leah! You'll love spinning; just remember to be patient. It takes a little time to get the hang of things. I recommend playing a little Eric Carmen to get a good tempo going.

Congrats - what a pretty wheel. You are indeed patient. I think I'd have been tempted to call in sick so I could spin all day.

oh Leah! I'm so jealous! What kind of wheel is it? I'm still pretty ignorant, but I'm shopping for one myself!
