My DS has given me a voucher for two hours 1:1 spinning tuition.

Well I haven't rung yet to arrange anything, but I am getting quite excited by the idea.

OK I'll admit it, I looked at spinning wheels on a couple of websites too, but the technical details sounded like double Dutch Shocked

Yes they look doubledutch till you actually sit in front of one, then it all falls into place and before you know it you are spinning and you will be asking your DS to contribute towards your new wheel Laughing

Enjoy

You could start with a spindle... you'd learn all the "hand" stuff, the drafting etc and then when you get a wheel Wink

you'd just need to do the feet.
Much easier than learning both at once.
