I'm writing this on the morning of the solar eclipse.
What weird energy out there... Finding something to GROUND YOU will help.
Keep in mind that this energy will persist over the week,
so hang on and spend some time focused on things that bring balance.
For me, it is watching and listening to the spring birds and spending time walking.
And knitting!!!

SIT 'N KNIT 'N SPIN meetups start here in the shop this week.
Every 2nd and 4th Sundays we'll gather from 10am-12noon.
That means SUNDAY APRIL 14 IS OUR FIRST MEETUP.
I have a spinning project on my wheel right now that I am eager to get back to
and looking forward to seeing more spinners this year.
I've cleared out the shop to make room for 5 wheels should they show up :)
And I am knitting Mittens for Maine Children's Home.
Interested in knitting for newly adopted orphans? Details on Ravelry here.

Need raw fleece? Want to make yarn from wool that grew up in our neighborhood?
We have it in stock and would love to show you how to process it.
And there will be HOW TO DYE FIBER AND YARN classes coming as well.
Look for them to be scheduled later this spring.

Need a lesson? I love to teach :)
Private Knit and Spin classes
on Sundays at 11 AM
(check out dates available)
and Zoom consultations  are ALWAYS available


Speaking of classes, Fair Isle knitting is always such a joy,
and summer is a good time to work on those techniques.
This hat will be the class project. Watch this space for details.
