Creativity

There is something about taking one thing and creating something different with it -

• A raw fleece into roving ready to spin
• spinning the roving into yarn
• Taking a tree branch and making a crochet hook with it
• Then take that crochet hook and the yarn you made and making a 
• scarf, or shawl with it.

Yep, I love working with wool, to be more exact, I love working with fiber - mostly animal fibers. This can include wool, mohair, angora (bunny), silk, alpaca, llama......well you get the idea.

And I do not limit myself to just spinning. I enjoy the entire process, from raw fleece to finished yarn. I like nothing better than to take undesireable fleece and make beautiful yarn with it. I have worked with several fleeces that most would have thrown out and made the most beautiful yarns with it. Now I know that you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear (as momma used to say), but I can come close.

Past Projects

This is my first mini crochet bear. It was a challenge and I learned so much about miniature crochet when making it.

Sitting down the bear is a little over 3 inches tall. Her baby doll is 3 inches tall from head to toe. The bear is crocheted with natural Tussah silk. The baby doll was crochet with cashmere that I recycled from a sweater.
