I received Teach Yourself Visually Handspinning by Judith MacKenzie McCuin as another Christmas gift (thanks Mom!) this past Christmas. Now, I do need to state the obvious up front; I already know how to spin. However, if this is also the case for you, I would still not hesitate to buy this book. Why? The …
So, I haven’t really blogged in a while and I have lots and lots to share with you. So, here is your disclaimer: If you are at work or otherwise at a point and time that you cannot download fifty bajillion and a half photos…. wait to read this post, ok? All right, got the …
you get snow. Lots of it. This morning I awoke to an odd scraping sound from outside the window of my friend Joel’s flat (God, I sound more English when I write than when I speak [oh and Darren, not one person {and most everybody I’ve been around this trip has known me since I …
So, this is the first fiction book that I am reviewing. I’m not sure that I’m going to make a habit of it or not, we’ll just have to wait and see I guess. However, this was another Christmas book (thanks mom!) and I have read both The Birth of Venus and In the Company …

This was one of the books that I got as a Christmas present this year and I am so glad that I did. (However, I do really wish that I could get onto whatever list it is that they send you free copies of books that are coming out soon [especially yarn/fiber related books!] for …
So, it’s been a few weeks since I last wrote for you my faithful readers. I’m sure that you have also been busy with the holiday season so I hope that you don’t hold it against me too terribly much. I’ve had an interesting holiday season working in the department store. All I can say …
So, the UK has gone from having zero (or seriously close to zero) major knitting get-aways to having two in one year. Not even in a year, in a summer! First up is Knit Nation which is being held the 29th, 30th and 31st of July this year in London. It’s three days of shopping …
A few things that I am thankful for this year: 1.) My family. We are all safe and comfortable in our lives. Yeah, money may be a little tight this year, but remember, there are probably about a billion people on this planet who would die so that their children could have what we already …
