Instructor Spotlight: Rosanne Anderson!

Rosanne Speaks on BSG Love & Locker Hooking 

This year Black Sheep Gathering welcomes back Workshop Instructor Rosanne Anderson of Cheney, Washington! Rosanne is teaching Fabulous and Fun Locker Hooking this year and has taught many years previously. Rosanne says her favorite part of teaching at BSG is both the variety of classes offered and the amazing students. "Plus," she says, "I always learn so much myself!" Rosanne has been working with fiber for over 20 years and the best part is, "When I create something and it actually works out and looks good!" For a little trivia, Rosanne shared that she spent many years in the Army where she not only served, but met her husband as well. 
 
Preparing for Fabulous & Fun Locker Hooking
Rosanne says that the best thing a student can do before taking her course is to be patient with themselves. "Allow [yourself] to go at your own pace, ask questions, and enjoy the experience. You will get the hang of it sooner than you think."
 
Goals for Her Workshop
Rosanne ​hopes that her students will "leave class with an appreciation of their own talent and their wonderful creation. Locker Hooking goes pretty [quickly] and it's so easy to see your progress." She also says that "whether you're newer to fiber craft or well experienced, what you'll take away from this class is an appreciation for how quickly your stash will begin to disappear! Locker Hooking demands lots of yarn, so if you're a 'collector' you will appreciate the wonderful creativity of Locker Hooking and how quickly you'll need to 
replace that stash."
  
Final Thoughts, for Now 
"Congratulations to all of you who are attending BSG. I think you'll find, as I did, that this is one of the best shows and really a lot of fun. You MUST stay for the entire weekend in order to experience it fully. I've been know to wander around the vendors, fleeces, and animals way more than several times. It's a wonderful time for us fibery people!"
