Spreading the Addiction
I just got a call from the owner of a lovely yarn shop in St. Michaels, MD. They're having a retreat in a few months, and they wanted a class on spinning with drop spindles.
It's the first weekend in February, also known as Super Bowl weekend, and it sounds really fun. Sanguine Gryphon lives nearby, and she's teaching a class, too. I won't be ( Read more... ) -

Finished Project!
Back in March, I started a Hemlock Ring Blanket - I thought it was a really neat pattern and I liked the yarn, and that was really about it. Oh, and I was headed to a conference for work and wanted a project I could carry around and work on without too much thought or looking at the needles. At some point, I got tired of it because the rounds were ( Read more... )
