Knitting
Sadly I missed our August weavers gathering at my friend Nan's lovely home. I heard that it was a large and merry group, and that her risotto was excellent. Ann fortunately sent me a few pics so that I could have a sense of how the day went. I missed seeing everyone but it sure [...]
It was pretty great heading to Barbs house for our 2nd Monday weavers gathering last Monday.  First the drive down through our  rolling  hills of the driftless region and then down along the Wisconsin River was lovely, even without any seeing much evidence of spring time green colors yet.  It was just great to get [...]
The Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival took place this year (yeah) and with The Driftless Art fair not happening (sad), a friend and I took off, to spend a day with all things wooly. I have done this fair as a vendor for many years and this was the first time I could just galavant [...]
Well December was here and gone in the blink of an eye and I better get this post in before our January meeting rolls around next Monday. Our 2nd Monday weavers group met at the Viroqua Food Coop; such a nice space to relax from all the hoopla of the holidays and share what we [...]

Christmas is here and gone, mostly a blur of cooking, cleaning and wrapping that I am happy to let go of in exchange for some quiet knitting in front of the fire. My mitten gifts to my daughters was well received, even by the youngest who received hers WYBA. My acronym for a knitted gift, [...]
The new year brought our 2nd Monday gathering to fellow weaver Kathy's house. It was doubly wonderful to be here after missing last months gathering due to this bloody winter weather.
