So, with our first snowfall of the season a large group of fellow weavers journeyed to Denise’s newly purchased home, for our 2nd Monday gathering. It was fun to welcome a few new faces and with many faces we don’t see all that often; Denises’ house was bursting at the seams with fiber conversations here, there, and everywhere.
Welcoming Anna, Judith, Susanne, Keyena , and Diana and looking forward to new fiber friendships. It is somewhat subversive and amazing how we manage to find each other.
There were lots of great foods shared but a highlight was the wonderful fall soup that Denise had cooking on the stove. It is a recipe from
Mollie Katzen and is called Gypsy Soup. Recipe here.
Thanks Denise for your warm hospitality and if your house can survive this group, it can probably survive anything!

I must say that was a lot of fiber action for one little house to absorb. I know when I stepped outside, I felt like I had left our own little world and was surprised that it was still winter outside. How rude…

I am amazed and delighted at all the fiber activity going on in the Driftless. I am finally weaving again after the move to the big city, and your post and photos make me homesick, even if home is where you have your fibers! Have a safe and cozy winter and know that I think of your gang often.

Glad to hear you are weaving again. You would really enjoy this group, but I am glad you can visit us in the virtual world. And you are so right, home is where your fiber is:)
