Welcome!
I am a handweaver, handspinner, and handknitter who has been fascinated with textiles all my life. Humans have been creating textiles since before recorded time and I feel connected to the ongoing chain of human existence through this medium. I am also a researcher and student of the history of textile and clothing production. As a tangible expression of culture, the preservation of historic methods of textile production (such as handweaving and handspinning) serve as a living legacy of our heritage and teaches about the culture we live in. I welcome you to join me as I continue to learn and explore....

Moving on....
I've decided to abandon the Big Softie project for now and move on to another yarn. Every time I look at that finished sock the though of giving it to the person I was making it for makes me feel bad, and I find myself avoiding working on it. I'm taking that as a sign that I need to do something different. I'll finish the other sock and keep them around here - I think, maybe, that they would make good socks to wear while I'm weaving in the winter. That being said, I am off to Webs (http://www.yarn.com/) and, possibly, Northampton Wools (http://www.northamptonwools.com/). I've never been to Northampton Wools, so it will be a new experience. I'll let you know how it goes and post pictures of what I get. Wish me luck!
