Oh, thank you all, ladies, for making me feel normal! I'm 69 years old and over the weekend attended an Alpaca Open House! I have 3 sewing machines . . . have tried quilting, doll-clothes construction, knitting, over the years. NOW, I fell in love with the silky alpaca hair and am wanting to put in use the old spinning wheel my husband had purchased for me and refurbished so many years ago. At the time, I thought I didn't want to go back in time as far as women's lib was concerned. However, now I am anxious to give it a go! Have a great day, all!!!
