HANDSPUN YARNS...LOTS OF IT!

I belong to a spinning group...Island Pond Spinners...Recently a fellow member had a stash of goodies she wanted to part with....I purchased all of the Hand Spun Yarn she had...What a Treasure Trove!!! Whomever did the spinning did a great job but lost interest and didn't finish by setting the twist. So....Monday Morning Laundry...I washed and conditioned 30 skeins of yarns and hung them on our porch to dry!!! What a sight...Beautiful Sight...Do you not agree?? Stop by and give it all a feel...

Magic Loop...

Hello everyone...Our Saturday's Magic Loop Workshop was AWESOME!!!! Kim did an terrific job of teaching us, she was very patient with us...and yes, I did say "US"...I know I said I'd never learn, didn't want to, had no desire...then I watched and HAD to do it too...It is fun once you get the jist of it...It's a rhythm! We were a little slow to get the cast on, we didn't get as far along as Kim had wanted us to... so she assigned us homework. We are meeting again on Saturday to keep the rhythm going! Kim is more than willing to repeat the workshop should anyone, like me, have a change of heart!! I'll take pics Saturday and post our progress...

My Button and Stitch Marker Swap...

Most knitters are aware of Ravelry...I belong to a number of different groups there. This last SWAP I did was so much fun...not a real big commitment, no knitting involved, just collecting a few specific things and off you go. We emailed our matched swapee with a few questions on likes etc...My swapee went above and beyond...You should see the cool hand designed and hand made Stitch Markers...3 sets of them, Yarn Note Cards are so LOVELY, tea and candy(gone but not forgotten), really cute buttons...2 painted enamel-a butterfly and a kitten-and a round ceramic one. As if that wasn't enough....also in my box of treasures...Square Circular Needles by Kollage, can't wait to check them out, and the most beautiful Shawl Clasp...forged glass, shimmers with the light...Just Magnificent!!!
Here are pics of MY gifts sent by my Friend Brenda AKA quilt2, I can't THANK YOU enough.....I LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
