My Spinning wheel.  I took this picture with my brothers canon with the 50mm 1.4 lens.  Now I'm ordering the 1.8 for my canon so I can take almost as cool pictures on my canon.  My spinning wheel hasn't been getting a lot of use lately but I plan to do a pretty in depth tutorial soon about spinning, from fiber collection, cleaning and preparation, to spinning and creating a complete project.  It's such a neat concept to me that I can take the raw fleece from my friends sheep and spin it into yarn which eventually becomes a beautiful one of a kind beanie or scarf.  When I was learning to spin I had a hard time finding good tutorials and pictures of the whole process which is why I'd love to put up a tutorial for all of those people like me who'd love to get into the lost art of spinning!
