This is my first blog post, so bear with me! I started spinning in March of 2007. My friend Linda, gave me a quick lesson and then I purchased a wheel of my own, a beautiful Kromski Sonata. This year, I entered a skein of beautiful llama that I spun at the Virginia Classic Handmade's Derby. The roving that I spun came from Posey Thisisit Farm here in Virginia. The llama who it came from is named Lucky Star and is quite beautiful.
Here I am with the skein of yarn from Lucky Star that I entered in the Derby. I was so excited to see that it won first place and got great marks from the judges!
I do some spinning for the Hall's who own Posey Thisisit Farm. Jamee' wove a shawl out of the handspun that I did for her, and her shawl won first place in the hand woven didvision. She also did a needle felted fruit bowl which also won first in the felted division. Here is Jamee' with her beautiful shawl and needle felted fruit bowl.
