Knitting For SOAR You might have noticed that I did not post last week (bad blogger!). My excuse? I was at Interweave's Spin-Off Annual Retreat , learning all about my most favorite thing: Yarn. My SOAR adventure was, in part, a mission to find out more about this beloved substance, to see if I could...

I went off to Rhinebeck, New York, last weekend, to immerse myself in the fiber world at the huge annual NYS Sheep & Wool Festival. Did I have fun? Does a knitter have dpns under her sofa cushions? It was fabulous. One llama tried to pick me up and get frisky with me on the first date. The llama...
