What's She Up To Now? Or My Foray Into Fiber

I have handcraft ADD. I know I do. I see something handmade and must learn how to do it.

Doesn't matter that I wasn't happy just crocheting, I had to learn to knit, then I had to learn to spin the yarn that I was knitting. Doesn't matter that it was soap a few years ago. Or the fact that I had to learn to can years ago, and how to sew years and years before that.

I'm never satisfied. It's like I have this creative switch in my brain that's been permanently flipped to the *on* position.

Now it's on and set to fiber. Glorious wools, silks, bamboos. Fleeces that would make a Jason and The Argonauts cry with envy.

I must learn about the fleece, about the animal, where it came from, what it spins like.

And read every.single.thing. I can regarding fiber.

Ravelry feeds my addiction nicely. It's this uber awesome web community of people that think like me. We see colored bits of wool and we get hyped. We see yarn and we stop dead in our tracks. And we will talk fiber at you until you can't take it anymore and we've assimilated you.

This is my journey into Fiber, my nirvana. My ride on a fleece carpet that's headed somewhere. Where I have no clue. But for now I'm just enjoying the ride.

Welcome to my second addiction.
