so here it goes...
Five Things You Probably Don't Know About Me-the Spinning Version.
1. Last year, when I was learning to weave as part of my Master's degree, I SWORE I would NEVER get back into yarn again. I recall telling my friend Crystal that I KNEW how dangerous that was and I was NEVER, EVER going down that road again. NEVER.... Seriously... I MEANT it too.
Now I have two spinning wheels, a drum carder, two sets of hand carders, a very large selection of dyes...
2. I recently started to shave my cat, Harvey because a) he has ridiculous mattes this time of year and b) you guessed it--I wanted to see if I could spin his fur. I will finish what I started too.
3. I have a big commission that I keep procrastinating because I doesn't involve spinning-though it does involve felted wool.
4. I have 2 oz of very precious camel roving that I am afraid to spin because I am afraid that I will not like what I becomes in my hands.
5. I am incredulous that after 20+ years as a hairdresser ( I am retired at it now. I really grew to HATE it.) I still spend my days dressing hair. I wonder a good bit about how much of what I know about the structure of hair translates to wool processing.... It's just a matter of time before I try to use my old hair color stock on wool.
YOUR turn... and let me know, will ya?
