Well, here goes... I have a very specific reason for wanting to start a blog. I have previously thought that I didn't have time to keep a blog, but I have decided that I must take control of my online yarn buying habit and so I will blog when I would have been shopping. And I hope to do some serious destashing while I'm here - and elsewhere.

So. I am a weaver, knitter, spinner and I teach all these things as well - when I can squeeze it in around my job, my family and the rest of my life. I'm also a singer: I sing unaccompanied traditional songs from Ireland, Scotland and England along with a little American shape note music, and I sing early European music with a trio called Sine Nomine.

I live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with my husband and our three daughters. We have cats and corgis.

More about this and more, in the days to come.
