Sure, there’s been tons going on in my life, and some of it even falls into the “fiber arts” part of my world. I’m always knitting something (mostly shop models), but my knitting time has been curtailed by my gym time. As chronicled over at my personal blog, I joined a health club [...]

I couldn’t be happier [...]

that’s a new 100% baby alpaca yarn from Cascade that will be added to the shelves this fall. I’m not sure [...]
