At the end of this month I will begin my journey to becoming a master spinner and I would like to take all of you with me! The course is 6 years, but because I'm a crazy woman I've decided to take levels one and two this year. I am hoping to complete the course in 5 years. The Master Spinners Course is offered through Olds College in Alberta, Canada. My husband and I will be driving from NJ to Alberta, Canada! While I'm taking my week-long course he will be out in the Canadian wilderness camping. I am taking level 2 on Long Island in July with my old spinning guild in Smithtown. I am so excited about this journey. I will be trying to do a weekly update with everything I studied that week. This will help me catalog my progress and hopefully everyone will also be able to learn a little through my adventure. I never thought I would want to go back to school but I guess you never know where your journey will take you so
enjoy the ride!
