I am a happily married mother of three boys. I live in Missouri.
A little bit about my obsessions:
I love to read books both in hardback and on my ipod!
I have been collecting dolls since I was a child, have well over 250 now!
I started loom knitting when my son gave me a set of Knifty Knitters for Christmas 2006. Taught myself to needle knit in September 2007.
I also took up weaving on looms in May 2007! I am totally warped.

Hi Tamara,
I was wondering if you could give me some information on how to clean sheeps wool. My Aunt just shered her one sheep and I took the wool as I’m a knitter. The wool has been sitting outside for about a week. I need to know what I should do to clean it?? If you could give me any info that would be great.
Cheers

Hi Tamara!
I have never actually done this. I have however done a search and found a few sites that might be helpful to you!

Love you in that car. I am still knitting and spending more and more time with it. Thanks for all the patterns. Hope Greg is healing well and that you enjoyed your visit with the boys.
Tamara, I don’t think I ever told you what a really nice site this is, I was checking it out tonight and wanted to let you know. Your stuff looks really good. Checked out some of your links, very interesting…Scott
I used to be a weaver! in the 1980′s I taught both hand weaving and handspinning–I don’t own a loom now, but still have my spinning wheel…
Great work!
I thought you might be interested in reading an interview that I did with loom knitting phenomenon Isela Phelps! Here’s a link to it on my website: http://www.creativehelps.com/interviews_3.htm#ANOTHER_COLORFUL_LIFE_~_ISELA_PHELPS Enoy!
