BIG THANK YOU!

As I continue to work on this project the more I grow to love the fiber arts more. I can not thank everyone enough for the support, supplies, information and more.


I am already starting to plan my final project for level 6. I would like to weave a white silk/angora/merino shawl. I am reading up on different types of weaving patterns.


Well, I am going to sign off for now. Keep checking back for updates!

Finishing Level One-

I am almost finished with level one. I have to spin a couple of sample skeins of wool and silk.

Life sure has been busy. I think the hardest part about doing this master's program is trying to balance my daily school work, ACT & SAT tests, feeding our animals, practicing piano, chores, as well as bible study every morning. Today I took my ACT so this past week I have not been able to do much with fiber arts, but will start up again.

I thank everyone who has helped, you really don't know how much it means!
