Happy Spring!

In San Francisco it is already spring
- the sun is shining and the little golden California Poppies and
Daffodils are already in bloom.
Registration for the Golden Gate Fiber Institute Summer 2008
Intensive is moving along and some of the classes are almost full.
I have started working on the teacher list for the Winter
2009 Intensive, January 5 - 11. Registration and class information
is available at
www.goldengatefiberinstitute.org
Wondrous spindles and fiber have recently graced our door. A box
arrived today from Gilbert Gonsolves, maker of the Robin Spinning
Wheels and in it are a batch of new
Lily Spindles. They are truly beautiful and they spin
forever! I have a HUGE bag of
Bison Roving and from Judith MacKenzie McCuin and Buffalo
Gals and a sample of Judith's new yarns - one called Homage to the
New World - 50/50 Bison and Alpaca and a lovely 2 ply Bison/Merino
in both natural and dyed colors! The
Bison Yarn from Buffalo Gals and Buffalo Gold is finally here and available online. And at long last we have
Qiviut from Windy Valley MuskOx. We have 100% Qiviut and
a fabulous Qiviut/Silk blend.
As far as personal
projects - i am knitting a Kathryn Alexander Designs vest and
learning about entrelac in the process and i am working on my sample
gamp for my weaving class with Judith in March.

hopefully our new 2008 CD catalog!) As you are wandering through the
