One of my friends described me as a five bobbin (as opposed to five star) enabler...

Dare I redeem it do you think?? |
Of course you could always give it to me if you aren't sure 
Seriously, what a wonderful gift, yes, definitely redeem it, and what a lovely DS you have. Don't forget to tell us all about your lesson. |

You really have got him well trained.
Were they great big giant ones, that you need loads of yarn held together to knit with, and have you tried them? |

Not quite the great big giant ones really, more the huge ones at 4 feet long 
He gave me two skeins of very thick rope-like yarn (a little bit like pencil roving) to use, but I've not tried them out, and I really should, shouldn't I  |

well, I disagree.  I tried with a spindle first - hated it intensely, so got a wheel straight away.

After sitting in the naughty corner in my house for a while that very same spindle has today decided to play properly CJ and we have come to a reasonably happy understanding |
