I like your style, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get fed up of seeing same-old-same-old all of the time. I've just stumbled this page for you :-D

Veronica,
It is good to hear from you! We had a great time learning to shear at that clinic. I am so glad we learned to do our own shearing - especially when I hear of the troubles other farms have getting a shearer sometimes. Our herd doubled in size this year so that makes it even more economical to be more self sufficient. This year we added a blade sharpener to our shearing set up. It took awhile to get the hang of it, but that too was a good investment that I think will save us money in the long run.

Best wishes to you and your mom,
Patty

Audrey,
I am convinced that if you set your mind to it, you will master spinning in no time. I actually find spinning to be a relaxing exercise. I need to make more time for it, because it really does help just take the days tensions and rat race away. I like knitting and the sense of accomplishment I feel when I finish a project, but spinning just is a whole different experience. I jokingly refer to it as "Zen Time".

Great job on your sweater(and your hand spinning)! You've convinced me to pull out my spinning wheel and give it another try. Also wanted to tell you how impressive your blog site is...VERY nice lay-out, easy to read, and enjoyable watching how you've grown over time.
Take care,
Audrey <~~~future alpaca fiber spinner :-D

I liked your comments and am glad you feel the class was helpful. Quite often we dont get a lot of feedback on these classes. I know we enjoyed working with everyone and the smaller class size this time may have been a good thing.
