Ebay - good or bad ?

I'd been so good for a while, apart from the cashmere I got from here.

Then Knitiotherapy had an auction for some lace wool, but that doesn't count as it is for charity...good luck in the moonwalk :-)

And then the bad, since seeing 'The Fishwife' in action at Skipnorth I decided I needed a spinning wheel that would be easy to learn on.

And this arrived a few days ago. So far I've nearly mastered making the wheel go in the correct way, tried to spin something yesterday and ended up with a tangled mess... I'm hoping that when I go here on Sunday someone will be able to show me what I'm doing wrong !


And my latest purchase a cone of Blue Faced Leicester undyed sock wool, from here

Think it's a really good job I'm away most of next week. I would say away from temptation but I'm planning to visit Web of Wool - how much more stock is there in the shop than Anna takes to shows... photos next week, hopefully ;-)

ps does anyone want to help me knit a five foot long wide scarf, I'm getting bored and I've only done a foot of it.....
