About Me

[unicornduke]

Hello fellow peoples, I'm updating my about me page so I can sticky this post now that I've figured out how to do that. 

I'm Unicornduke or Duke on the internet, I do just journal about my life on here. I do a lot of fiber arts stuff, spinning is my favorite, but also weaving (backstrap loom, four shaft counterbalance loom, tablet weaving), crochet, and knitting. I host a weekly crafting hangout on zoom, the link is posted every Monday morning, or at least by 6pm that day. I also am an avid gardener and seed saver. 

Baking is another passion and I have to be gluten free and I'm happy to share recipes if you want any. Watching women's hockey is also a hobby and thankfully seasonal opposite my busy season. I'm no longer In Fandom the way I used to be, but occasionally wander into fanfics and that's about it. I used to be on tumblr until 2018ish and then tumblr deleted my account. I'm not sad about it. 

I'm also trans and non-binary (they/them or he/him) and I'm still figuring out how to navigate all that in my head and in the world. 

I farm full time now, plus some side jobs in rural PA. 

I'm always happy to chat and meet new friends!

Howdy! I’m not sure how I found you, but here I am. I’m an IT manager but the more interesting part is that I’m an Angora goat farmer and fiber addict - spinning, knitting, and of course collecting more yarn - in northwestern Virginia. I’ve friended you up and hopefully will have happy things to share about goats and books.

Hi hello! Glad to meet you and I'm always glad to find more fiber folks doing interesting and fun things! Angora goats are very cute and the mohair is beautiful. I've done some processing (haven't gotten to spinning it yet) and it's so shiny and pretty.

Huzzah for fiber arts! I particularly enjoy spinning, knitting, weaving (mostly rigid heddle, and recently got an 8 shaft floor loom, but planning to learn tablet weaving soon too), and crochet
