July 2011 Countrywool News k The heat of the summer is bringing long, lazy evenings to us all. I am finding knitting and spinning on my deck with the dogs at my feet to be a most WONDERFUL way to spend twilight hours. I've been toddling along with a few projects, getting them to the point of finishing, and then putting them by. But now, a PERFECT opportunity has arrived to get those last details done... Come to Countrywool's FULL MOON UFO SATURDAY on July 16 from noon -3 pm to finish up a knitting project that WILL NOT GET DONE on its own. And this month, with its heat and sun, is the perfect time to dye fiber, roving, fleece and yarn. Making one's own yarn from raw fleece has to be THE most satisfying craft I have ever pursued. All of that will be taking place at Countrywool, along with a full weekend spinning retreat here at the shop. Folks new to spinning will enjoy this 2 day class, and those of you comfortable with your wheels will learn all about spinning angora based yarns. Be sure to sign up before JULY 15 so I can keep it in the lineup! Happy summer to all! Claudia |
