See you at 10:00am EST!!

It is that time again!!

The SHOP will be updated on Saturday April 10th at 10:00am EST. No spoilers to share yet – but I will be posting a grand ‘ole sneak peak collection of images on Friday night – stay tuned!

The final installment of Follow the fiber has been posted!

As you may recall the project started with my contribution called The Dyer then moved along to The Spinner and now has made it’s way to The Crocheter! Witness the transformation from beautifully spun yarn to an adorable hat in the talented hands of Cal Patch of Hodge Podge Farm…

It is that time of year again! Time for the Clermont – Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool festival in Germantown NY!!

Thinking of last year practically brings tears to my eyes – I cannot express how amazing it was to be part of that festival. The day was spectacular, the people were awesome and the response to ITW was overwhelming.

Once the schedule of events and map is made available I will let you know where to find ITW at the festival!

Date & Time: Saturday, April 24 11:00am – 4:00pm
Raindate: Sunday, April 25
Location: One Clermont Ave – Germantown, NY 12526

Far from it actually! But not my words, instead it is the spoken word of another. And with that being said, I will be short with the words and long with the links.

Wander on over to a fabulous knitting/spinning podcast named the Manic Purl hosted by Chrissy and take notice of whose name is listed in the show notes for Episode 62 – Finishing Techniques: Seaming Demystified . For those of you with about an hour to spare, sit down, grab a project and enjoy the show. For those with a little less time; fast forward to 40 minutes into the show to listen what has me walking on the clouds!

The Mar-Apr SAL fiber will be listed in the SHOP this evening at 7:00PM EST. As a reminder, here is the time-line of events:

Colourway Note: The image for this month was chosen from this Ravelry entry with a specific request to focus on the colours within the figs only and exclude the background and plate. So, of course, I honored the winners request! See you tonight!!

With the collection of winter storms we just survived; this announcement could not come at a better time:

Starting on Saturday March 6th the shop will be closed for one week. The shop will reopen on Monday March 15th just in time for the listing the March-April SAL fiber!

Live in the Hudson valley? No plans this weekend? Like fiber? Like meeting people who like fiber? If you answered yes to any of these question – I have a suggestion…

Go play with fiber at the 2nd Annual Stir Crazy Stitch & Spin hosted by fiberista extraordinaire RowsRed of Bittersweet Woolery on Saturday March 6th from 12:00pm EST to 5:00pm EST at the Athens Cultural Center in Athens NY

I will be away on a much needed vacation and unable to attend so please be sure to say “Hi” to everyone for me!!
