I am hoping that this will become a space where I can display my fiber creations as I produce them. I do diligently care for my Ravelry page (and keep a Tumblr blog); however, I now feel the need for a more expansive record in the form of a more traditional blog.
A little about myself:
I have been knitting for a little more than 5 years, but only in the last two years have I actually gotten seriously into the process. The discovery of Ravelry was a huge part of that growth. So, I always recommend that aspiring knitters get involved with the amazing people there.
Last January I took a class to learn how to spin yarn using a drop spindle and was instantly hooked. One aspect that made it so satisfying was the rapid improvement that I found myself making almost instantly. By my third try I had something that I didn't mind knitting with. I continue to get better and better at spinning every time I try.
In March I dyed my first two skeins with Jacquard Acid Dyes and loved it. I have had to put that hobby aside due to lack of space and facilities to continue, but I hope to dye more in the near future.
As of now that is where I stand. I hope to continue to develop my skills and possibly even branch out into a small business in the future. Someday I hope to design patterns of my own in an attempt to give back to a community that has given so much to me. Lets continue to grow together.
