Love the pics! A cat in your lap is comforting. Is that a spinning wheel? It looks small and compact, doesn’t take up much room.

It’s an Electric Eel Wheel 6.0. Small, but powerful. The bobbin holds just as much, if not more, yarn as a traditional wheel.
It’s very portable and can run on a battery which makes it great to take to gatherings or events. It’s also affordable which makes spinning more accessible.
Spinning on my traditional wheel aggravates my bad knee to the point where I can barely walk. I’ve done all my spinning on it since 2021.

That is outstanding! I’ve always seen the more traditional spinning wheels. This one is much more user friendly.
Bad knee? I limped around for years, finally to the point of hardly able to walk. Had knee replacement surgery, it was life changing! Granted, mechanical knee doesn’t have the bend radius that a “born with” knee doesn’t, but I couldn’t bend it anyway. I can’t squat down, but I couldn’t squat before either and was in 24-7 pain. I’m sure you already know all that, and someday it will probably come down to replacement surgery for you, just wanted to let you know the positives on it.
