Random Thoughts
bamboo and wool/lycra My supply of wool/lycra is nearly gone (I think there may be 16 cones left) so I was pleased to see that Ashford now supplies colcolastic – a cotton/lycra yarn – and in a variety of colours. I’d made plans to include this new yarn in Magic in the Water, Part II…

More Missouri Memories
Mary sent a picture of the group that were in the workshop in LaMar, Missouri. Great folks, great food, great time weaving. The weather even co-operated, cooling down from over 100 to low 80’s. Who could ask for anything more? 🙂

Beginning Weaving
Here are the intrepid new weavers, weaving away at 3 pm this afternoon. 🙂 Cindy already has a loom – it’s been in storage for a while, waiting for her to have more time for it – Charlotte is anticipating a loaner. Both are doing very well and I expect them to be able to…

Spring Arrives!
So let me begin by explaining that Doug continues to work the closing shift; ergo waking up at the crack of dawn is not really our first choice. But that was exactly what happened this morning when the neighbourhood woodpecker announced his return to the ‘hood by using the metal flange covering our chimney to…
