Hello, friends! I hope the warm days are treating you well so far. After a whirlwind few weeks of work and travel, I’ve finally had a little time to start settling into summer. The flowers are blooming. The blackberries are starting to ripen. We’ve tasted …
This has been a banner week for communication. Sometimes it seems impossible to accomplish anything when it involves appealing to far-away people I don’t know for a response. It can feel like my phone calls and emails are just wafting off into the void. The last few days have been different, …
This is what I’ve been spinning for the Tour de Fleece. It’s Finn in the colorway “Little Islands” from the Spunky Eclectic fiber club. These aren’t colors that I’d normally pick, but I’m really enjoying the shades of blue and cream. One of the great things about being part of a fiber …
