Even though I’ve known about this for a while now, and blogged about it, there’s still something magical about seeing your project and name in print.

I have the Deb Menz blanket (“DMB” because I’m lazy that way) that I must finish, but haven’t touched in about 10 days. But while sitting in the CNCH 2010 planning meeting yesterday, I was mesmerized by Carole’s lace stole. I am twitching to cast on for a new lace piece. I am fighting that urge valiantly, but may be losing to it soon. I have no desire to take the DMB and hundreds of little balls of yarn on a plane to the tropics with me.
I’m also battling the calendar to finish the CNCH 2010 website before the unveiling in 2 weeks. So, more sporadic postings, I’m afraid.
P.S. My copy of the Fall 2009 Spin-Off is still MIA, but I saw a copy of it yesterday. My scarf is in it! It’s such a thrill to see your work and name in print. (I won Best Use of Sheep Wool category.) You can download the All Wrapped Up in Natural Fibers gallery from this page. This PDF also includes a few scarves that didn’t make it into the magazine. I’m so tickled!
Barb called to see if I was interested in joining her on a little field trip on the 4th instead of doing the usual thing with the throngs. I jumped at the idea as soon as she uttered “Artfibers.”
I hadn’t been to Artfibers since they moved out of San Francisco, so this was my first visit to the new location. All I can say is, “WOW!” It’s lovely. It’s on the ground level of a house. There are 3 rooms full of luscious yarn. Roxanne’s office and patterns are located in the converted detached garage.
Comfortable chairs are scattered inside and out for you to sit and sample with all the yarn in the shop. You can opt to sit inside, on the covered patio, or in the gazebo. Outside the window, between the gazebo and the house, is a lovely organic garden.
On the 4th, Roxanne had an Open Studio/potluck. Everyone brought a little something to share. There was lots of food, a beautiful berry covered velvet cake, and wine. We sat around the garden, chatted and played with yarn all afternoon. I may have bought a little yarn. :)
I had a great time. Thanks, Barbara, Roxanne, and Nyles!
