Have honed my skills over many years ,using various paths to promote and improve my skills and knowledge in order to elevate an under valued craft. In Calgary I was an active member of a knitting guild and here in Thunder Bay I am part of the Thunder Bay Weavers and spinners guild. These and other groups are vital in the connections,knowledge and promotion of rich traditions in fibre art. I aloe participate in the Annual Artisan Show in December and a wonderful validation of my work. I also teach a variety of knitting techniques and levels.
