I am really quite pleased although the more professional weavers will notice that the tension isn't very good. One thing I have found when warping up using the Ashford Solo Method and using more than a single warp thread is that the tension is dodgy. They tell you to join in by knotting, but I found that this didn't work, so half way through I tied all the warp threads at both ends and this certainly stopped the threads becoming loose.
As this has turned out so well I am going to make another for my friend's birthday in April - so I have been looking for some cashmere yarn with which to wow her.
Meanwhile the transformation of the spinning wheel is going well, even if I did have to spend a fortune on a tin of gloss paint just for the spokes.......
