Wellspring Woolens

Melinda brought some of her yummy yarn to our wine tasting event and shared the news that she'll be reviewed by Clara Parks! The article is out already and it's so good to read about a local business!

The review in "Knitters Review" can be found here Wellspring Woolens Poppi's Worsted
Clara says: "Wherever you are at this moment, Melinda Kjarum, I thank you for caring about Icelandic sheep and for putting so much of your heart and soul into this yarn."

Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get those peepers?

My latest eye exam just confirmed my eyes are beginning "the change". Here's the best part of that news - these fashion statements are in my future ;-)


... all the better to see these little gems

Lookie what I found at the shop on Thursday!

NEW yarn from a new supplier - Mountain Colors Yarn...



And the Pattern Tamers I've heard so much about online! They are ribbon covered magnets that help you hold your place in your pattern - no more sticky notes stuck to the rest of the items in my knitting bag :-)
