Here's a close up of the pattern. And here's one of it partially done, showing the definite difference in dye lots... and my sleepy puppers! It's the Bliss pattern from Magknits.

PIE!!! I'm reaching the end of the more easily accessible parts of the tree. The one part of the tree that was touching the ground just a few days ago isn't anymore because I gleaned the good bits from it.

I lucked out

Last Thursday I was reading my local newspaper and saw an article on the Midwest Weaver's Conference. Being out of the fiber loop ever since I quit the local weavers and spinners guild years ago, I was kind of surprised. I also noticed that it was only a 45 minute drive away from where I live!
