Bio:
I am an indie dyer from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Knitting and dyeing are my two favourite fibre arts. I'm a wife, a mother of four, a nurse... I wear many hats! (but the best ones are my hand knitted toques!)
Inspiration:
Fibre arts and I have been in love as long as I can remember. For years I was predominantly a knitter. I love yarn. All of it (maybe even acrylic). I love the rhythm of knitting, the colours, the textures, the grounding of the fibre and the repetition, the creating... all of it. And then I discovered dyeing. A new way to get my hands in the fibre. A new way to experience the joy of colour and creating. There's nothing better than getting up in the morning, grinding the coffee beans, and checking last nights cooled dye pots as the coffee brews. We live outside the city, and the trees, the sunshine, the rooster crowing... it's all part of living the dream. Someday we'll have sheep of our own, but for now there's already an unbelievable amount of wool in our house to cuddle.
