spinsterknits

I live with my husband and daughter in northern Georgia, although we are originally from the Midwest. Ive been an avid knitter for over 20 years and have been spinning for about 8 years. My dream is to eventually own sheep and other fiber animals, but for now I am content to purchase my fiber for spinning from others. I try to purchase my supplies as close to the source as possible...meaning that I like to buy fiber from those who raise the animals. This is a good way to make sure the animals are treated humanely.

I am geeky about recycling and love to make freegan items. These items are made of supplies which I came by free of charge. These are often supplies which someone else was about to throw away, although still useful and clean. This is my little way of keeping our landfills from overfilling. Freegan supplies include fabric remnants and clothing pieces to be deconstructed, bags of unwanted embroidery floss, and old embroidered tea-towels. I use these supplies to create one of a kind pieces of clothing and accessories.
