ABOUT WOOL N' SPINNING //
Starting in the Spring 2014, after my second child was born, I felt this need to talk about spinning, making yarn and just doing things more intentionally than I had before. This need to have this conversation and be surrounded by others who were compelled to make drove me to start talking to a camera on my laptop. It grew and a community started to come together. I decided to publish a Patreon campaign to support the show in June 2016 and here we are today. Thank you for being here. I appreciate your time spent here in this place with me. I hope you feel most welcome because you are welcome.

Your skeins blue battling wool would be perfect for a Ravelry pattern - a dragon’s shawl. Being of Welsh decent, I’ve been eyeing that pattern and NOW, thanks to you, I know what I can do to create the perfect yarn for that project. Thank you so much! Brain is now working as fast as your Majacraft lace whorl ;-)). Your goldenrod pullover is gorgeous. I didn’t catch the name of the designer. I’d love to knit the pattern as a shawl, as I’m of the age where I get tired of putting, pulling off sweaters - so shawls are my thing. Could you please wear the sweater again some time and put the designer’s name in your show notes>. Many thanks. And your deep mossy green shawl is GORGEOUS! Back to the video to learn more about it. Yours in Gratitude
