Your instructor is a crazy fiber artist from NE Oregon.  She loves animals and creating beautiful wearable art.  She started knitting more than 20 years ago from the desire to gift high end garments, more unique than she could afford.  She now has a little fiber farm with German Angora bunnies, and a few Sheep that support her fiber habit.  She has been into the fiber arts for enough years to have been there and done that.  She has settled on the slow crafts of spinning the yarn to make the garments that you just can’t buy.  She loves to share how going from grass to gorgeous is a satisfying endeavor, and getting deeper into the fiber arts rabbit hole is worth diving into.
