Thanks for all your encouragement about the wheel. Right now I know I would be having the same issues regardless of the wheel. You must move your foot constantly and forget about it....haha...easier said than done. Now when I just move my foot I'm good, but when I have to think about my hands/the yarn Yikes! The foot forgets to keep moving. I think it is training the muscles to do what they should that needs to happen so I can focus on the yarn. Now the great wheel operates on a different principle....no foot action involved and much more like the spindle. Now I just need to keep practicing!

I love it - the color is great! Okay, so I'm looking for a scarf to make for a friend for Christmas... should I jump on the Clapotis bandwagon or make Argosy from Knitty?
I think you'll get the hang of the wheel... I agree that it is muscle training.
You are making great progress! Lovely.
Growing steadily and looking good!
How about having some music on while you spin? Then your feet can move to the music freeing your hands to draft the wool. I sometimes have music on and dance around the house while knitting. (Nothing too rowdy, mind you!)
Lovely.
