Hi! I’m Kat and I am one of the Crones contributing to this blog. I’ve never blogged before, so bear with me while I learn. There are many topics I’d like to share with you, most of which will be revealed as time goes on, but here are some hints. I am a fiber artist, ex-alpaca rancher, ex-sheep and angora goat owner, angora rabbit owner, owner of a lovely black and white English shepherd/farm collie, job hunter, mother, grandmother, girlfriend, sister. Today, I’d like to talk about my fiber art.
I am a knitter, a spinner, a weaver. I also crochet, needlepoint, quilt….on occasion, and under much protest, I have been know to sew by machine but my sewing machine doesn’t like me much so I almost never use it for anything (smile)! I do everything by hand. Some of my current projects on the knitting needles are: a teal shawl, toy rabbits in several colors (which I hope to be able to sell), a camel colored shrug. I just finished several hats yesterday which I gave to my sister, niece and great-niece this afternoon. They were a big hit. The shrug is for my daughter-in-law, ostensibly for a Solstice gift but realistically I will probably give it to her before that.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn to knit, I will be posting some basic, beginning knit stitches in coming blogs, and possibly some easy patterns as well. Talk to you again soon. Thanks for reading my fumblings (grin)!
