Many thanks to Nan for hosting this months (oh wait, it was last months) weavers gathering. Tells you how crazy busy I have been. We had Sharon join us for the first time with some of the many projects she has woven over the years. Great inspiration, I hope that she joins us often. Many [...]
Some days are more magical than others and our last 2nd Monday gathering of weavers and like minded fiber addicts, was just such a one. In part every gathering is an explosive exchange of creative ideas and energy, riotous laughter and general mayhem as everyone tries to catch up with each others doings over the [...]
Evan most graciously hosted this month's weavers gathering, after a couple of us wished out loud that we could see her home. It was a visual feast reflecting the artistic vision of both her and her husband Joel. Lots of wonderful color, simple swedish inspired styling, and most importantly a place for his interests in [...]

 Indigo in all its glory. Last monday was our 2nd monday gathering at Barb's in Dell. She most generously shared her indigo dye pot and I dyed a scarf just off the loom and some yarn. All turned out the most incredible shades of blue, all different. The pot had a mettalic sheen on the [...]

The food was an incredible treat; and as people start pulling their projects out of various baskets and bags it was hard to focus with so much fiber splendor laying about.
