So, with our first snowfall of the season a large group of fellow weavers journeyed to Denise's newly purchased home, for our 2nd Monday gathering. It was fun to welcome a few new faces and with many faces we don't see all that often; Denises' house was bursting at the seams with fiber conversations here, [...]

All my dyeing was not for naught. (That just sounded too Shakespearean to not say.) Nan and I had a very successful and tiring 3 days of total immersion in everything sheepy. Nan even got to see a lamb being born with some assistance from the shepherd. I saw a set of quadruplets shortly after [...]
