Spinning & Felting
My love affair with fiber began when I was 8. My father was a teacher and every summer he took a job as a counselor at a summer camp. We would pack up our old station wagon (long before the modern minivan!) with everything including our poor old cat, Tabby, and head for the mountains.
We were housed in the health/nursing cabin. During the day, the cabin was staffed by a registered nurse who was known to me as Grandma Casey. She would show up early every morning with her spinning wheel. When she was not helping campers, she spun and I watched. It wasn't long before she offered to teach me to spin on a drop spindle. I was caught.
