I am a 50-year-old mother of two and grandmother of one. I have been knitting for about many, many years. I took up handspinning about 2-1/2 years ago. I am addicted. I work from home as a medical transcriptionist with my two cats for company and surrounded by my crafts. Besides, handspinning and knitting, I love counted cross-stitch, sewing, quilting, tatting, and just about any kind of fiber art, as well as beading.
