Thanks to the sheep on our farm, the fiber arts have have always had a warm, snuggly, place here at Chewonki. With the wool grown, shorn, carded, spun, and dyed right on site, many students and campers have their first lesson in knitting, crocheting, felting, and/or weaving while attending a program here, and it’s not uncommon to see our students or staff happily knitting away while attending a meeting or class.
With so many delightful entanglements going on, we were bound to love this wonderful write-up about Maine Coast Semester alumni Lily Feinberg (MCS 57) and her wildly popular @knithappens__ instagram page in the James Lane Post. (You can read the article here.)
With more than 27,000 followers and millions of views for her knitting page, Lily sure has got a lot of skein in the game! We reached out to Lily to asked her to spin us a yarn about how she got hooked. Lily writes:
February is also sheep-shearing season at Chewonki and needles to say, weave been looking forward to newest batch of wool to start some new projects!
