I have been a knitter my whole life, and a spinner for over 20 years. My passion for fiber led me to teaching, and working in a retail yarn shop for over a decade. I love education, opening the door to beginners, or expanding the horizons of more experienced fiber people. In my classes and events, I’ve found the kindred spirit between fiber friends, whether knitters, spinners, hand-dyers or fiber producers, is creatively uplifting and inspiring. I have taught students from children to seniors, and always find the same joy and encouragement when “Fibernating” in all age groups. There is a tangible feeling of connection and community when knitters and spinners are together, and my goal is to encourage more students, and create more opportunities for gathering to share this powerful creative energy. |
