Handspun potholder

For my high school graduation, I received a spinning wheel. I tried it out, and am in the process of knitting a potholder with the new yarn. I find spinning to be so relaxing! It is hard to find the rhythm at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was very easy.

I am hoping to felt my potholder, to make it nice and thick. I just hope I have enough yarn. Right now, I am knitting 25 stitches on size 10 needles, The project is 7 in. wide and only 4 in. long right now. There isn't much yarn left, and I think I might run out. One bobbin on the spinning wheel sure doesn't hold much!
