I am, like so many other spinners, a professional. Oh, no—I’m not a professional spinner—that’s far too lofty a claim for my abilities. Rather, I have a challenging,
rewarding, and often stressful fulltime career. Of course you know that spinning is a fabulous way to take one’s mind off the drain of a day of hard work, but most of my
coworkers view my leisurely pursuits in the world of fiber as something of a mystery—strange and diametrically opposed to life at the office.
