Had a go at spinning for the first time all I can say is omg. I need help!

Off to a shop today that just opened up near me to buy new soft furnishing for the front room..but they also do wool and other crafts bits..so two for the price of one!

Hello!

Hi, I'm Laura, mother of three strapping lads, after years of infertility!  I come from a long line of crafters and the crafts have been passed down to me with love and laughter. I learned to knit at 3 and later cross stitch and crochet, I've also been known to do a bit of bobbin lace but it's very very basic Apart from work, studying and family, keeping me very busy I also like gardening, hand sewing, and reading, and I'm also currently writing a book, I've had 4 bits of poetry published before so I'm hoping this will be accepted too!
