I'm one of those people who used to hate all kinds of crafts at school. The only thing that really interested me (besides boys and more academically oriented school subjects) was art and painting, playing with colors. Then one summer I was just so bored, had absolutely nothing to do, that I decided to take up crocheting. They really should put some warnings on those crochet hooks "fiber arts will eat up your life", "your stash will take up all your money" and definitely "crochet may lead to other, more dangerous substances such as knitting or spinning", because that's exactly what happened to me. Before I knew it, I was teaching myself to knit and purl and choose between bfl and falkland. And eventually, I bought my first spindle, dragged my great-grandmother's spinning wheel from the attic and hang out at the LYS where they allow you to try out different modern spinning wheels. And now I want one, BADLY.
Luckily for me, I also met Karoliina, who shares my passion for fiber and yarn and colors. Being a dirt-poor college student, I have no means to buy an expensive wheel, but between the two of us, we have managed to keep our hopes up. This blog is mainly about spinning and spinning wheels (and how to get one if you have very little money!); but also about friendship, sharing, and the joy of enjoying crafts.
