About me

Location Bay St. Louis, Mississippi
Introduction a lover of all things fiber since I saw my first loom in high school, naturally progressed to spinning and dying yarns with natural dyes, moved on to knitting which is so much more portable and which I actually learned as a child, but as I was forced to learn, didn't pursue until later. I have enjoyed meeting other fiber enthusiasts and artists and have been encouraged to continue pursuing different techniques, some by inspiration and example, others by reading and thinking 'what would happen if?' With all the beautiful fibers available today the inspiration never stops. I moved to Mississippi after Katrina hit to help my mother-in-law rebuild and have decided to stay, and thanks to a chance article in the local newspaper have found a lovely group of local women to knit with.
