Welcome to my corner of the internet, WoolWeed, where I will talk about two main things: sheep and plants.
Spinning is something I learned just a few years ago. It is something that I've enjoyed, and in spinning, I found something that I loved. And not only that, I learning that I loved learning about sheep! About the different sheep breeds, and experiencing the different fleeces/rovings and learning how the different fleeces spun up. I never knew how many different sheep breeds there are, and how different they could be!
I know, it sounds like a weird thing to be interested in. However, I'm proud to say that I geek sheep. And I geek fibers off all sorts. Sheep is my main love, but alpaca, goats, flax, bison. It's all good. (Except bunnies. Bunnies, bunnies, it can't be bunnies!) And the odd thing - I found out that I'm in good company.
Plants are another thing I geek. I dug up my first garden with I was in 6th grade, and my parents still use it today. Herbs, dye plants, medicinal, natives, trees, medieval, and more. I even took classes and have a few associates in horticulture. I'm a wild child - a nature child - and often come in from outside with dirt streaks on my face and twigs in my hair, and think nothing of it. A day in the garden is second only to a day of spinning outside.
So, welcome to my corner of the world. Plant and fiber geek and general nerd. (And yes, I'm a book worm as well!) Sit for a spell and let me tell you more about my passions!
