Ok it’s me again well who else would it be,

For those of you who are new knitters or thinking about trying knitting or are just reading blogs about knitting because you just are contemplating taking up a hobby and knitting or amigurumi has crossed your mind and your unsure if you can either understand it or actually learn it.
Well I’m here to tell you any one can learn to knit or do amigurumi ( which is a form of crocheting mostly toys ).


I’m sure for you beginners or people thinking about starting  you feel apprehensive because not sure what needles go with what yarn, how many skeins or balls of yarn will you need,  why is dye lot important what’s a gauge or swatch, why take the time to do it, when a project says easy, is it really ?
Straight needles verses circular  and why?  What’s the big deal with knitting socks,when you can go out and buy socks for a few dollars for a couple pairs? 
All of these are excellent questions and will be answered in length. For those of you who are avid knitters or been around the block once or twice feel free to offer tips and tricks you've developed or skip over this section,  no harm no fowl.

Either way I am here to help you,encourage you, guide you, and answer any questions you may have.  If you do not feel comfortable posting your questions in my q&a section, feel free to email me privately.

  Hi ho fiber friends it’s Been 7 months and 4 days since my last post I have been relatively busy and no excuses . I last posted Feb, in March I went to Vermont for 7 days and upon my return we were amidst a pandemic . I have been trying to play catch-up ever since. I, like most of the rest of the United States could hardly believe what was going on let alone try and adjust our lives to such a drastic change that seemed to happen over night. Even though forced to stay home a lot more than normal I never seemed to have the time to write let alone gather any thoughts that would make sense to any one other than myself. My editor / daughter probably would have thrown I the towel if I had written all the things running through my head at the time.                So now here it is, the beginning of September and I am able write with a little clearer mind and possible light at the end of the tunnel . All though many events this year in Califor...

This shop is called Rumpelstiltskin it’s a great little shop a mile away from old town Sacramento right next door   to a lovely tea shop and a wonderful restaurant called the Fox and Goose . All three places are amazing .  The yarn shop boasts a wide array of fibers including roving for spinning or dying.                                                                                                                         They also carry a few spinning supplies and a lot of pattern...
