Insubordiknit Art Yarn Workshop

Also known as the most fun I've had learning in a really long time! See... this is me... having fun!


As a fairly new spinner I love to watch how other people spin, and a couple of weeks ago I got the chance to watch a whole lot of people spin at the Melbourne Insubordiknit Workshop! The workshop weekend was organised by the wonderful Mandie from Ewe Give Me The Knits and her lovely friend Janet. The teacher travelled all the way from the US to share her spinning skills with us! Jacey (Insubordiknit) is a wonderful teacher, a fantastic story teller and a joy to be near!

The range of people at the worskshop was amazing, people from the other side of the country, people of all ages! This is Jacey with the youngest and oldest workshoppers, George and Frances!

I really enjoyed spending time with everyone at the workshop, there were people I already knew, like the lovely NEVYL girls; people who supply my latest addiction (beautiful fibre!), Mandy and Charly (Ixchel); as well as a whole swag of people I'm acquainted with online but had never met in person before this weekend. It was amazing to share the experience with so many people who love the same stuff I do!

And the end of the weekend, I had a handful of funky, slightly wonky and somewhat overspun yarns, as well as a whole swag of new skills to practice
