It was a convoluted trip from Long Island, to Pennsylvania, to Washington, DC, to Buffalo, NY to Kingston, NY to Colorado and finally ending on a 131 acre farm in Dutchess County, NY. The Hereford cattle were gradually replaced by Dorset sheep and the Dorsets replaced by Shetlands and Icelandics.
Fiber reigned. Knitting and crocheting were learned at my mother's knee. Now there was spinning, weaving, felting, dyeing and rug hooking.
