hello! *waves wildly* i’ve been debating starting a little fiber podcast for a good year or so, but it seemed incredibly scary to do! but - i live in an area without a lot of fiber artists / spinners / knitters my age and i wanted to start connecting with fellow crafters - so i started a little spinning and knitting podcast!
my husband and i are currently in the process of building a studio space/wool shed on our property, so be prepared to see footage of that as well as all of the fibery things i get up to! I am a spinner at heart, but also knit, weave, wood turn, and so many other things. i am a graphic designer and illustrator by trade and would like to get back into fine art and traditional painting as well as writing (for funsies instead of work). we also have quite a few horses and sheep, as well as chickens, dogs, cats, and so many other animals (perks of having 127 acres of pasture land, hehe). so they will most certainly feature heavily on here.
this whole thing *gestures wildly at youtube* is going to just be a hodge podge of my very varied interests…so be prepared for a lot of whiplash and confusion because my hobbies range from horses/horse training and psychology to spinning to writing to zelda. i also used to be very into video editing and filming, and i’m excited to dabble in that again.
this video is not up to my usual standard…i tried out one of my husband’s old 50mm lenses and i do not like the quality. i’ll definitely be sticking to my old tried and true lenses from here on out! but i wanted to get /something/ out vs allowing fear to keep me from even trying!
my main spinning wheel is a kromski polonaise i stained and finished myself. i plan on painting it in the next few months/year, so be on the lookout for that video! i also use a lot of woodland woodworking and willow’s spindles for my support spinning. my favorite wool combs are a pair of louet mini combs, but i hope to acquire many more styles and brands of wool combs to make a comparison video…because when i was looking at what combs to get i could not find any comparison videos.
