There was a cluster of local spinning events the first part of 2007 and I ambitiously attended all that I could. The Spin-In on Whidbey Island was memorable and quite simply, too much fun! Whidbey 2006 was what I considered to be my first "real vendor" event and "Deer in the Headlights" pretty much describes how I felt doing this a year ago. This year, much, much more relaxed. I also have to say how much I appreciate the awesome fiber friends I've made along the way. It's those friends I think of when I'm loading my truck at 5 a.m. in the pouring rain... the ones I know will be there... with a smile... and ready for their next "fiber fix"! (You Wooly Yarn Girls know who I'm talking about...). Okay, so I dyed what seemed to be a dump truck load of fiber the first few months of the year. My hands were perpetually purple and fiber was everywhere! This photo was our dining room just before the Whidbey Spin-In.
