Who me?
I used to have a highly paid, highly pressured job as an accountant where no part of my day was ever spent thinking about wool (mostly because I was a quilter then). I am now a mummy-at-home, a job for which I seem sometimes woefully unqualified. The organisation of the plastic toy mountain defeats me, I am incapable of ever finding the right batteries and I don’t sort the white laundry from the colours. I make a mean pair of socks though.
I learned to spin in the autumn of 2005 just so I could knit socks with long colour runs. I do occasionally spin for something else but mostly it’s for socks, the ideal knitting project for people with a short attention span who hate making up. I dye my own fibre and yarn and although I’m not yet at the stage where I always get what I plan it works out happily most of the time. I now sell the prettier looking stuff on Etsy and keep the dyeing mistakes for myself.
