A certain ploughing match and what have come of it

                                                       Memory spin
                                                             or

                                            our very first  spinning experience
                         
A couple of years ago, we  went to a local ploughing match where we met Marian .
 She is an amazing lady, very gifted in various areas and infecting with her enthusiasm
 She is also a local artist: spinner, knitter, weaver ...you name it.. and founder of Orca Gatherers

 Needless to say, she inspired us to the point, we decided to learn the art of spinning
 So here we are, November `09, in Marian`s enchanted workshop, all set and keen to learn
the spider ways
                                                             

carding away
