Insubordiknit workshop

I had the distinct honor of learning some serious fiber skillz from the amazing Jacey of Insubordiknit last weekend! We covered a TON of techniques over two full days in Baltimore - twists/loops, knots/stacks, coils, supercoils, racing stripes, autowrap, tornado, strung/trapped/integrated/wrapped foreign objects, cocoons, halos, corespinning, and tiny circles. WOW!! My favorites were cocoons, halos, and tiny circles. I took the workshop with Abby of Folktale (http://folktale.etsy.com) - it was so fun to see the lovely yarns this talented fiber artist made! Check out her blog on the workshop at http://folktalefibers.blogspot.com/.

Below are a few pix from the workshop - one of Jacey demonstrating a spinning technique, and two of some yarns I made. For more pix visit my Flickr site (www.flickr.com/mollymillerbyappt.com).
