ms, i can vouch for jk's tutoring skills ! And i would be very happy to help you too. On wheels. i will often (usually) have an ashford traditional available - i really enjoy seeking them out, bringing them back to life and finding them new, working homes! Or join your local Guild - ours can loan wheels to new starters, as well as there being lots of lovely, friendly, helpful folks to help you get going. But be warned - it's totally addictive! I'm on holiday at the mo, travelling with homespun knitting, fibre & drop spindle...
