Kim has been knitting for over 20 years and is able to make anything from yarn.
Kim is very involved with spinning over the past 10 years. Kim learned to spin from a friend going to spinning groups and attending local fairs. Kim demonstrates spinning and knitting at local fairs, demonstrations, and especially enjoys teaching children. Kim says, “spinning takes a lot of practice and can be frustrating when first starting out.” Kim describes spinning as relaxing and fun.
Kim talents also include crochet, sewing, and counter-cross stitch. Outside fiber arts, Kim works as a cook/baker at an Alzheimer’s care unit in Augusta.
