Jody has been knitting for over 30 years, and spinning for half of that. She started with a CD drop spindle, caught the spinning bug, and quickly moved on to a spinning wheel. Spinning mostly on wheels - both modern and antique for the first 6 years, she was reintroduced to spindles while pregnant for her son. She has since learned to love the portability and variety offered by spindles. Throughout that time, she developed a teaching style that has helped countless new spinners. She carries drop spindle kits in her car and will break into a spinning lesson anytime, anywhere.
