I have never did any spinning, and I used to think I never wanted to learn to spin. I don't know what happened... like I need another hobby!
Here it is being unpacked.
This is where my ladybug sits (sorry about the blurred picture)
I needed help with the tension string, and some really wonderful girl named Abbyknitz on Ravelry helped me out.
First little bit on the bobbin - uhm, I guess it's good I can even get it on the bobbin considering I've never touched a wheel in my life. My first goal was to figure out how to treadle and just use the wheel in general.

I can't wait to see what you spin up with it. Congratulations.
Wow!! What an awesome gift! Have fun and I look forward to seeing the results!
What a great surprise! I have just gotten my wheel this week too (a lendrum) - I have been practice treadling - I'm a bit intimidated - but what fun to come!
Congratulations!!!! I'm a bit jealous, but so happy for you. I bet you'll be spinning up impressive yarns in no time. :)
Wow, pretty impressive. And what a nice husband to get it for you as a surprise! Good luck with the spinning--looks like you've already got the hang of it.
It looks great! I had never spun on a wheel either, and bought the Ladybug sight unseen based on what I read. I am loving it. I can't wait to see what you do next :)
Congrats! That wheel is so cute. :-)
hey... what do i have to do to be listed under "nursing blogs" anyhoo?
that husband? he's a keeper. Just beware of that pointy thing...i've read stories about it...
