- About me
I weave for pleasure and also occasionally sell items thru my guild or exhibits. I am a retired community health nurse and in my "spare" time I weave, spin, knit, dye- but weaving is my favourite fibre love. I enjoy making special gifts for family and friends and usually have something on my two looms (Leclerc 8 shaft 45" for blankets, yardage and Leclerc 8 shaft 24" for scarves,placemats). I am a member of the Sunshine Coast Spinners and Weavers guild (http://scswg.org) and was on the board of directors for the Gibsons Landing Fibre Arts Festival, which sad to say, is no longer happening.
In my many moves around BC, I have belonged to four weaving/spinning guilds and have always felt welcomed. Members have been generous in sharing their knowledge and encouraging beginners. I enjoy passing on my passion thru public demonstrations and teaching, both formal and informal. Looking forward to getting connected with other weavers on this fabulous new website!
I teach knitting (two socks on one long needle at the same time) and have also taught weaving and drop spindle spinning with my fellow guild members.
