Dear Spinning Circle,
Welcome All. Over the past couple of weeks, I dove into the stash that I had packed and brought with me while living out of our home: A spindling project, knitting and continued progress on my MellyKnits Delightful Advent. All relatively large projects but stashed for a while – how does that affect our mindset when returning to ideas we’d explored in the past and have since moved on from?
If you’re curious about joining the Wool n’ Spinning community and wondering where to begin, I’ve written a simple Start Here guide.
