Our Beginner Handspinning class started yesterday.  I, for one, had a great time!  All the participants are current or future alpaca owners, so we’ll spend a lot of time playing with and talking about alpaca fiber. Handspinning can be a little frustrating at first, but this group did amazingly well – even those who didn’t think they did.  We’ll contiue to meet on Sunday afternoons for the next couple months, weather permitting.

We had a nice group of alpaca owners here yesterday for a fiber skirting workshop.  Now that I’ve reorganized the fiber barn, I need to spend time out there and finish this year’s skirting.  We’ll be shearing again before we know it and there’s be no room for fiber if I don’t get to work!

After the holidays, I’ll be offering beginner handspinning classes here at the farm.  Contact me for info.

This week is “get ready for Rhinebeck”.  I have yarn to skein, wash and price, felting batts to price, patterns to print and samples to knit.  And not enough time! And it sounds like I’ll need to dig out some warm clothes! Dinner on the patio at Gigi’s will be chilly; I hope they have the heaters out!

If you’re coming to Rhinebeck, I’m in barn #26.
