~Kristi is editing the next edition of Yarnival. She’s looking for entries, particularly ones about fiber festivals, so go on and submit something for her to consider, won’t you? ~I spun a few more silk hankies and then wound the singles into a center pull ball and then plyed them on the Lendrum. Is it…

When I read a magazine, I always read the editor’s page first. I like to hear what the person in charge has to say about the issue. I can honestly say, though, that I’ve never give much thought as to what it would be like to actually be the editor of a publication. Until I…

Friday night Dale and Blogless Sharon and I trekked to Porter Square Books in Cambridge to attend a book signing by our dear friend, Stitchy McYarnpants. I knew it would be fun and I was right – Stitchy never disappoints. We arrived a few minutes late — just in time to hear Stitchy extoling the…

Sandy emailed me last night and asked me how the Knit Out was. Kathy (who I met in person for the first time at last year’s Knit Out) emailed first thing yesterday morning with the same question. So I’ll tell you guys what I told them. The Knit Out was fun. But the Hanging Out…

I’m throwing up the knit signal, courtesy of my buddy, The Bookish Girl, to make sure you all know about the bloggers potluck picnic gathering at New Hampshire Sheep & Wool this coming Saturday. Remembering what a great time we had when Cate organized one for Connecticut, I asked her if we could do it…

On Saturday Blogless Sharon, the Evil Spawn of Blogless Sharon (aka her daughter, Heather) and I headed to Connecticut Sheep and Wool. This was only my second fiber festival, my first being New Hampshire Sheep and Wool last year. Of course, I wasn’t a spinner last year, so I really did feel like a fiber…

Well, well, well. All that advice about ditching the wallpaper and going to WEBS? Nice. Very nice. Too bad WEBS was already sold out. However, after reading the post and the comments, Dale offered to drive me out to Grafton on Friday night. Who knew the blog could be a tool for marital communication? So,…

It’s been said by others but I have the best better pal for sure. And now that I know who she is, I can tell you guys, too. The person spoiling me was Liz and when I say spoiling, I mean spoiling. As in rotten. Just check out this last package. Isn’t it great? Liz…

The Team Boston Closing Ceremonies Party hosted by Cara was a blast! Like so many of these gatherings, there was knitting and laughing and eating and drinking. And, you know what? You’ll just have to take my word for it because I didn’t take a single picture. Nope. Not one. I thought about the camera…

I’ve told you about the wheel. I’ve told you about the fiber and roving. I haven’t told you about the people — and that was the most amazing part of all! Blogless Sharon and I arrived on Friday afternoon, checked in, got our warm chocolate chip cookie, and got settled. There were spinners and knitters…

There were no sheep, llamas or alpacas at Willow Books in Acton last night. There wasn’t any festival food or fiber booths or fleece tents. But there were bloggers galore and when Kathy declared that it was our Rhinebeck and that we had to make the most of it, she was right. So we did…
