The last couple of weeks have been filled with color as I prepare for the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival, as evidenced by my green finger, a blue big toe and briefly a blue dog.  But that is a whole other story.  Tomorrow I load up the truck and ply my wares at the festival [...]

 Well I'm off, (more ways than one) to the sheep and wool festival.  Sorry Molly no room for you although you do fit in under the fiber category.   The "lockness" skein on the back was just spun yesterday and is still wet enough that I may hang it out the sunroof on the way there.  [...]

Since moving out of the studio space that a group of us has shared, I have been setting up 2 of my looms at home and trying to organize all that fiber in a much smaller space. My 54" Glimakra will be in storage but just about everything else is stuffed into a few areas [...]

Sheep and Wool Festival, originally uploaded by kindred threads Well let me tell you it's a big scary fiber world out there.
