Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

What cute toes! I have a question that doesn't have anything to do with the kitty toes. What is a nice lace shawl for a beginner? I've done a couple pairs of socks and some felting, but I'd like to do a lace shawl. Thanks so much!
