A Quick Q&A with Robyn

What’s your role at SweetGeorgia?

  • School Moderator

What fibre arts did you enjoy before joining us?

  • Knitting and weaving

Which fibre arts do you do now that you are here?

  • Knit, crochet, spin, weave, needle and wet felting, sew, tapestry weave, embroider, and dyeing.

What other hobbies do you enjoy?

  • Weight lifting, walking my dog, reading, and spending time with my husband and two preteen babies.

Are there any tools, equipment, or accessories you’d recommend?

  • For knitting, it would be a gauge ruler – the only way to see what you’ll end up with when you are done.
  • For weaving, a tool kit/holder – my daughter made two pieces in her woods class, and having all of the weaving tools at my reach makes it so much easier.

Which is your favourite fibre or yarn?

Fun fact:

  • I’m a big believer of Astrology – as my family is living proof that you are your sign *sigh*
