[Ag-eq] Tracy/Knitting

[nfoster at extremezone.com]

Susan:

what other fiber crafts do you do?

Do you know how to spin the wool?

Also does anyone know how to process the raw wool.  I have a big bag of it, but
don't know what to do with it!

I'm curious about the kinds of crafts people are doing.  Other than making soap
and a little sewing I'm not very crafty.  I would like to find something to do
when I'm not spending time wiht the animals, the garden and such.  I would like
to find something that I could do while listening to audio books.

I would appreciate suggestions.
