GREETINGS
Warm days and cool nights are perfect. The leaves in the back mountain are ever so slightly showing changes. This summer has been a funny one. With torrential rains and cool enough temperatures to warrant a wood stove being lit. Terrible fires in the west with flooding everywhere. Climate change is here to stay and we have to learn to live with the abrupt changes.
MISCHIEVOUS CATS
Packing up for the show I found my Cat Pincushions. Well should I say what was left of two of them. The cats found them and thought that they were cat toys and ripped them open only to find that there was no catnip in them only walnut shells. I will have to make sure that the new ones I make are in cat proof boxes.
PODCAST FOR KNITTERS
I have found a great Podcast for knitters called KnitBritish. The pod cast are many and they want British people to buy wool grown and spun in Britain. I love it and encourage all you knitters here in the states to follow suit and buy only wool grown here when you can. Not enough is done to encourage that but I do know that Liz of Sheep and Shawl carries many wool’s grown locally.
I love listening to the podcast for he helpful hints and interesting facts about the wool’s she finds. It inspires me while I am working on my projects for shows.
DYEING WOOL
I have been getting another order ready for Camp Wool in Kennebunk, Maine. I have finished the purples today and am onto the flesh and pumpkin colors .
Hope you have a wonderful day and many thanks for reading my blog today. Carole
