About the Event
From Peggy:
I have always been a “maker” and am especially interested in how a finished object begins its life. This curiosity has led me down several paths of my fiberarts journey beginning with sewing my own clothes to learning to crochet, knit, spin my own yarn, and weaving my own cloth. I’m no expert by any means and continue to learn each and every time I pick up the needles, or sit behind my sewing machine, loom, circular sock machine, or spinning wheel.
Adding spinning to my repertoire in 2014 was particularly exciting, as it allowed me to take even more ownership over the entire process of creating something knitted, woven, sewn or crocheted. As an added bonus it is an earth grounding tool and is a great way to meditate.
When I’m sitting at my spinning wheel I have the opportunity to let my mind wander back in…
