I have a keen and passionate interest in theology and the arts like yourself. Maybe I can spend a little more time here in the near future.

I totally agree with this. I’ve certainly noticed in teaching craft classes that students are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, but that’s not as important as them being enthusiastic, patient, supportive. And you definitely learn from your students.

If you want to do some practice classes, let me know. My little craft group is interested in learning a few things I know you could teach us. And we could pay you a little.

I’m a little biased because I want you to stay in fiber. (I’m very sad you are leaving Vancouver.) I find all your work so inspiring and motivating.

Spinning is growing in popularity, it might be the best time to get on board teaching/retreating with that.

From my vantage point (stuck in the corporate ratrace) I would love to see more folks (my kids included) avoid this torture and make enough in the indie economy to live simply and happily.

The big thing with kids is that someone must carry health insurance.

And it just gets trickier with kids in the mix. I think if you want to have a baby soonish – then go with expanding your knitting business, because you can do this from home, whilst pregnant and with a wee one around your ankle. Like you say, it seems to be turning into a career – so why not see where it takes you for now?

Best of luck with it!
