Profile Information

Location: Egg Habor New Jersey

About Me:: I am a harpist and harp teacher in NJ. I have been knitting since I was 5 years old when an elderly Scottish neighbor taught me as I sat at her feet. She gave me a tremendous gift: a lifetime of creativity and pleasure.
I have two grown sons and two grandsons. I knit for them and my husband. So, I am always looking for good patterns for men and boys.

What's your Ravelry ID (if you have one)? (www.ravelry.com): harper35

For several years now my husband and I have been supporting Heifer International a charitable organization which gives animals to needy families around the world enabling them to become self sufficient and productive citizens in their own countries.

I would probably have more shelties but the vet bills and grooming needs slowed me down. It takes quite a bit to keep them all happy and healthy. I just recently purchased a spinning wheel (Sonata) and am learning to spin. Hope to also learn to dye. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Now on to the Christmas madness. LOL.

What a treasure you are!! There is so much to learn from someone who has been spinning as long as you have, especially since you have been a teacher. I did not know that KP had a SpinAlong when I joined the community. I was only expecting knitting comradship, so that was a pleasant surprise! And I'm very glad. I just don't have the money to spend on a lot of the books available, [besides a big family, we are starting a new business], and we are way out in the countrry so a library is not a source for me any more [I don't drive.]. I do subscribe to Spin-Off and glean a lot from there, but being online here is cozier, so I am glad you are here, since you are such a seasoned spinner. I'm looking forward to more info coming from you.
Oh, yes! I used to think I was born in the wrong century, too, until a friend of mine said God put me here for this time and for a purpose. I'm glad you are here now, otherwise all of the above could not be said! =)

At 9:21am on August 29, 2010, Naomi Jeanne Wheatley said…: Wow, Frances, I just now checked the last comment you sent me and read it through. Sorry it took me so long. Maybe we are related! My Dad's Grandpa was from Kentucky! I finished the baby surprise jacket and it turned out really nice, although too big. I'm going to do another one smaller this time.
