I like you!! A lot!! I'm always a bit frustrated when someone's voice/energy isn't a match for me, but I really want the information. You are so calm and centered and have a beautiful voice! I'm SO over the moon grateful to have found you. I've been crocheting since I was 6, used to make my barbie's clothes! Recently got back to it, and love love love yarn and color. (certified art teacher, mostly for the love of color. I feel like I'm finding myself here. Thank you thank you thank you! Can't wait to get started!!

Hi lefty!!! I know how to spin but I still love watching videos on it..it's so relaxing!!!

Fascinating and intensely creative. You are a gifted person. I will be looking through your videos for how to weave as well. Your videos on belly wrapping and post partum and co sleeping etc have been immensely helpful. (Plan to buy more on your Etsy shop!) and your ectopic video I can very much relate as I have gone through that journey as well.❤️ I hope to see more videos that just show more of your amazing soul!

Thank you!! I’m learning bushcrafting skills and I’m going to use this to make homemade rope from bark, and this is so very helpful!

Thank you that video was lovely. I think I will start to do this.

I've been designing tartans for over 10 year and considered learning to weave. Perhaps I should begin with spinning yarn? I recently ordered a top whorl and bottom whorl spindle.

I'll spin my singles on drop spindles and then ply them on my wheel - cheating I know, but it works for me 😋
