About

Diane has been taking things apart, putting things together and asking questions about everything all her life.  She left a career creating the technology you use every day to focus on the craft and technology of fiber and textiles.  In the redwoods above Silicon Valley, she spins, dyes, knits, weaves, sews, runs, cooks, makes (and drinks) beer, laughs with gusto, and shares it all with her car-crazy husband.    She is a regular contributor of articles and projects to both Ply and Handwoven magazines as well as Complex Weavers Journal.  Keep up with her adventures, experiments and mishaps in the studio or out in the world via this blog.
