Just A Little More Enabling


I thought I'd pass along a little heads up' on what's been going on at Wild Geese Fibres . My good friend Barb has had to allow the techies to do a little surgery on her website so it's much healthier now. What's more, she's decided to do a little fiber-related Garage Sale-ing there too, starting with some very nice spinning & knitting books and back issues of Spin Off. She has also told me she is going to start posting odd lots of yarn and fiber that are left over from the custom mill she has been dealing with. They have decided not to do private custom orders any more, just spin their own label yarns, so Barb says there's stuff from them that she's going to clear out at a nice discount.... I'm just saying.... not that I think you need more yarn, but the quality on this stuff is unbeatable. If I were you, I'd slip on over there a couple times a week for the next few weeks just to have a peek at what she's posting... might be worth your while... I'm just saying...



In other news, Barb has finally given me permission to spout off about her new book! (available at both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca ) I've known about this project for nearly 6 months now and my jaw is getting sore from having to keep my mouth shut about it! LOL!! I'm so excited, I can hardly wait to get my hands on it!! All her own original designs too - now that's mighty impressive! And if that's not enough she has - not one but TWO - knee-high sock designs out in the latest edition of Vogue Knitting magazine, Fall 2010 (not the Early Fall edition), AND in the March and April Yarn Forward magazine:  O!Ropa hat and socks! Whew! Can you say knit-your-fingers-to-the-bone for samples? I had a good laugh though, she was complaining about a hole in the handknit socks she was wearing, it made me think of the plumber's wife whose pipes always leak! Perfect for everyone else, no time for your own! ROFL!
So here's to YOU, Barb! I'm mighty proud of my fellow stubble-jumper! Well done you! Cheers all!
