| I hand-spun most of the wool in this sweater Shetland and Shetland/Bluefaced Leicester and Merino. I used some commercially spun mohair and lambswool on the cuff and hem ruffles. |

About Me
- My Blog
- Canaan, NY, United States
- My creative life draws me in many directions using art, crafts, language and music. No matter what I do I always am anchored by sewing. I started sewing in early elementary school and never stopped. My college major was apparel design and in my early career I worked in theater, opera and ballet making costumes. In the 80's I wrote for Threads Magazine. Then there is art, especially painting and drawing. Painting touches my soul like nothing else. This led to mo go back to school for a Masters Degree in Education to become certified in New York in art and home economics. I like to make jewelry for fun and relaxation. I sell my creations at rebeccanebesar.etsy.com and also through special orders. I have written and illustrated a couple of books, one called The Moon in the Morning: A Fairytale with a New Twist. Although I have been knitting since age 8, I started spinning and weaving in middle age.
