I recently added three new books to my fiber library that I am so excited about I just had to share. First is the book Lithuanian Knitting: Continuing Traditions by Donna Druchunas and June L. Hall. First off, can I get a WOW just for the book itself. Beautifully bound, well photographed and high-quality printing …
So, all of my stuff was loaded into a container and left the London Thamesport on the 29th of September on the good ship (at least I hope it’s good!) Hoechst Express which is owned and operated by Hapag-Lloyd which is a German shipping company. The ship is “expected” on the 20th of October in …
Thursday I returned from a really good day at Ally Pally (I’ll write more about it later) with my friend Jon of Easyknits (LOVE the new Twinkle yarn btw) and there was a large package waiting for me in the entryway. The return address was the retail store of the organizer of Knit Camp. This …
So, since it seems that my proper Shetland posts are going to take a dogs-life to be written (we crammed a lot into a week!) I figure that I can give you some swag shots to keep y’all happy:-) Now, as you all know, the whole trip was arranged by Jamieson and Smith, the Shetland …

There is really nothing much better than getting real mail and the past 2 days have been most excellent for that here at The Old Chapel. Monday I received my graduation pictures from Florida. Still haven’t gotten my diploma yet, but that’s ok. Anyway, I had ordered a package with four 5X7’s in it to …
So, of course, I get asked right about the stuff that I picked-up at Maryland Sheep and Wool. Ok, so I got a few things (I took a large camping sized duffelbag that was full on the return). Here’s a sample of some of the things that I got in Maryland. These are balls of …
Today I got this package delivered to me. It is from the British Wool Marketing Board. I placed an order with them for both some posters and some wool for spinning. Today, I got my posters, as well as a few other goodies. I ordered the posters to help decorate my attic yarn …
Packing is in full-swing here. We’re up to the mid 200’s in the box numbers. Mind you a lot of those are the wonderful cat food and litter buckets that I am obsessive about saving since they make great yarn containers but they are not the biggest things to pack things into. However, they are …
My husband is a saint. No, it’s not that he only has the patience of one (which he does) but that he is, in fact, as saint. The pope just doesn’t know it yet. Screw the pope (he probably needs it!), the world doesn’t know it yet. I am sure that some folks kinda figured, since …
