Today I think about a desire of my own to lean to spin wool into fiber/ yarn, then knit into something  thats on my to do list.and hopefully  I can check that off  project by project.    
          
 Over the years I have done many, many, many different crafts in many different media’s textiles
(quilting needle felting  macramé)
Mixed media paper clay fiber paper crafts
Metal and soldering, beading and fusing of glass, lamp work beads and
Cross stitch, needle point, crewel, designing teddy bears both out of mohair and mink for collectors. you get the idea.  name it and if tried it my studio is proof of all the things I’ve done.
Yet I come back to knitting every single time.

 Maybe to the simplicity of it, the colors, or the rhythmic calming feeling that falls over you while you create. Honestly knitting truly has health benefits as proven in studies by the medical community
Maybe it’s dying my own fibers for friends and shops and seeing people falling as much in love with the colors Ive created; as I have.
 I think all of you knitters out there understand.

I’m going to be posting pictures soon in a coming soon section. I would like you to cast your vote on the name for my new color line. I have two names in my mind and I would like to hear from the knitting community.
 More to come as I get myself, myfibers and dyes together  for dye day.

  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...

Hi Ho fiber friends Well, like a lucky penny I’m back. I am here to share another Great yarn shop  I found on my adventures a lot closer   to home than I thought. 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...
