This is a special week here at Holden; one that I was excited to experience. We have a group from Saint Placid Priory in Lacey, Washington here teaching us to spin yarn and knit. As a beginning knitter, I tend to struggle with my craft a bit. These women make everything look so easy and fun.
They have set up their spinning wheels in our common "living room" area and work all day long and help any of us who would like to learn. The high school kids are especially drawn to this and everything evening they sit, chat, laugh and spin.
Much of the wool is donated to the priory and they bring a lot of it up for Holden to spin and then use for hats and scarfs. You can read the background story of these gifted women and how they began at "
Priory Knitters and Spinners".
