That's it. It's official. I am a Master Spinner. I can now proudly wear that hat. It's kind of amazing actually.

Jan, Vanessa and I proudly showing off our fancy new certificates!
(You'll see that Jan's is way fancier, but that's because she's a keener-thats a good thing!- and had her book in before the official Olds College graduation cut off. Mine and Vanessa's books were in by the Master Spinner program cut off that doesn't line up with the Colleges. We get the fancy diplomas during the next round of graduations) |
 |
| Legit! Too legit to quit! |
 |
| Because the Olds College campus is gorgeous, and these poppies were so lovely that day in the sun. |
The beauty of being official is I now get to teach the course, and I was introduced to that step this year, by co-assisting Mary Lessman. Mary is a wonderful woman, a font of spinning knowledge, and she has the biggest heart. I felt blessed to be under her wing.

| Level 4 class! it was a delight assisting Mary Lessman in teaching this class. |

As I may or may not have mentioned over the years of heading to Olds, I always stop in at The Fat Ewe Farm. Eileen Wosnak has many beautiful sheep, a llama, duck and chicken and geese, and bunnies! I picked up a gorgeous black Romney fleece and brought a friend a bunny!
 |
| I promised myself no more fleeces... but this one called to me... I actually dreamt about it... I had to go back. |
 |
| Not my bunny. But he sure is cute! |
If you haven't started to follow me on Facebook, I encourage you to go over there and do that. I've been posting live videos, and intend on continuing that practice. The next one is going to be quite a bit longer than the first ones, as it will go over how to spin if you're broke. No need for fancy wheels, just a stick and some wool!
Happily Spinning,
~Kara
