Hi All and thank you for adding me to the forum! I'm so excited to be here as I have so many questions! I am a relatively inexperienced wet felter and am in the exciting (probably never ending) experimental stage of learning, so I'm still in awe of all there is to do, create, & learn! I agree with the other new member from NJ- there aren't but two shops in all of NJ that sell fiber and of course neither of them are near where I live. It would be so nice to find like-minded enthusiasts to talk to- but I guess that's why I'm here! A little about me- I've been in special education for 18 years and a fiber enthusiast for longer! I lived for 22 years in Vermont where there are lots of yarn and fiber shops to choose from and as much instruction- although my knitting addiction has morphed into felting, I do still occasionally pick up the needles. However, I seem to gravitate right back towards the unspun stuff! Thank you again for having me, I'm looking forward to all there is to learn and hope that I can contribute along the way as well!

Hello Meika and welcome to the forum - fascinating though felting is, I still like knitting too! I think partly it's because knitting is more sociable when you're with non-makers, and it's portable.
