Happy Birthday to Me! ... A New Spinning Wheel

What better way to celebrate being a year wiser(!) with a very special birthday gift.

Introducing my new Ashford 'Joy' spinning wheel (bought second hand but lightly used from one careful lady owner on Ravelry) ...

I'm looking forward to getting to know her ways and learning to make beautiful yarn together ;)

So far so good ... The Ashford Joy really lives up to its name.
