Event Staff

GWW Spinzilla 2015 Team

+ 2 spinners who are not in the SCA. . . yet! (Jen from Tasmania, and Deb)

More Information

The GWW Spinzilla 2015 team is sponsored by Hedgehog Handworks, purveyors of needlecraft supplies to various historical re-enactment communities, including the SCA, since 1987.

Our Goal

From Mistress Astra: "What Matters Most"
Let me let you in on a secret. Our team is not going to win Spinzilla. We’re not going to even come close. And that’s ok. There are some teams - highly competitive - with experienced spinners who spin all day, every day. Last year’s winning team, each spinner averaged 4 miles of yarn! We are not going to beat that team.
What we are going to do is:

  • Challenge ourselves with individual goals that are realistic for us. Goals that push us a bit to improve in our craft, but not goals that set us up for failure.
  • We are going to support each other, help other team members meet their goals, and celebrate their successes.
  • We are going to share our enthusiasm for spinning with others. We are going to teach new spinners.
  • We are going to enjoy time with our friends and families. And we’re going to do other things that we love.
  • We are not going to use Spinzilla as an excuse to let things go, like doing the dishes and making the bed. Unless you want to, then that’s ok.
  • Mostly, we are going to smile, and laugh, and have a good time.
