[Ansteorra-Textiles] intro

[Carolle M. Cox]

Greetings and welcome, Joanne!
 
I am Gerita della Mara, erstwhile knitter, sempstress, and pathetic student
of Sprang and other forms of textile-making.  I have here a beautiful
spinning wheel to learn to use some day, but alas, my life doesn't allow for
too much fun in one day.  Dog rescue is also my passion.  DFWCares, here in
Dallas and environs is one of my haunts, and I work with Japanese Chin dogs.
Special Education was one of the driving forces in my life until I was badly
hurt picking up a quadriplegic child.  So now I study and analyze crime.
Fascinating subject, but not as much as those children! 
 
There are many opportunities to find and learn from other fiber workers in
Ansteorra.  Very soon, for example, there is King's College with several
classes available in interesting forms of fiberwork, including Sprang. I
encourage you to attend that event, if you can, and look for us - we're
usually toting a bag of some sort of fiber and working busily away whilst
listening to someone talk.
 
Ever in service, 
Gerita della Mara

Gentle Fiber Folk,

  Please accept a small introduction. I am Joanne from Seawinds. I am a
spinner-weaver-embroiderer-luceter-knitter-fiberholic who has joined the
community of Seawinds. My passion at the moment is spinner on spindle, wheel
or charka. I live west of the mundane town of Corpus Christi with some
alpaca and the "Lost Dogs" I take part in dachshund rescue, Project Linus,
Special Education (which sorely interferes with my activities, but alas,
pays the bills) and as much activity at Seawinds as I can. I am interested
in learning all things fibery and am being gently "pushed along" by John
Lightfoot (I can see him cringing behind his monitor). I hope to meet as
many of you as I can and to learn new reasons to enrich my store of fibers.

Joanne the spinner at Seawinds
