Sadly I missed our August weavers gathering at my friend Nan's lovely home.  I heard that it was a large and merry group, and that her risotto was excellent.  Ann fortunately sent me a few pics so that I could have a sense of  how the day went. I missed seeing everyone but it sure [...]

It was pretty great heading to Barbs house for our 2nd Monday weavers gathering last Monday.  First the drive down through our  rolling  hills of the driftless region and then down along the Wisconsin River was lovely, even without any seeing much evidence of spring time green colors yet.  It was just great to get [...]

The Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival took place this year (yeah) and with The Driftless Art fair not happening (sad), a friend and I took off, to spend a day with all things wooly. I have done this fair as a vendor for many years and this was the first time I could just galavant [...]

gathering in LaCrosse

This months weavers gathering was hosted by Janet and Tony at their condo in LaCrosse right across from a lovely garden and the Mississippi River.  It didn't take us long to take over the community room tables with piles of handwovens and yarny goodness. Lots of great food, as always but I especially loved the [...]

spring is just a thumb away

I have just the thumb to finish, on a pair of mittens that I am determined to wear before winter takes its leave. The last few days have seen temps in the 40's with lots of melting snow and for me, thoughts of robins and daffodils are not far behind. I have done all [...]

The new year brought our 2nd Monday gathering to fellow weaver Kathy's house. It was doubly wonderful to be here after missing last months gathering due to this bloody winter weather. Sorry, it seems I have been feeling a bit cooped up lately and judging from the large turnout I wasn't the only one.As usual [...]
