Tour de Fleece, what was I thinking?
I’m a new spinner. Everything I have spun so far added up is probably not a full pound. So, what was I thinking attempting to spin 2 pounds!?!? I need to learn to set more realistic goals. A couple of days ago, I personally revised my goal to a pound. If I hadn’t done a…
Finally, a Baby Shower!

Have I been RAK’ed?
I received a skein of lace yarn in the mail – from a Christine, in California, that I’m not sure if I know or not (how embarrassing). There was not a note or card of explanation. Just some wonderful lace yarn, wrapped in tissue paper, in a box, addressed from her to me. Is this…
