Over so quickly!
It’s a good thing I had a fabulous weekend at Rhinebeck, because I had no sooner gotten home and put my jammies on than we had our own little ground-floor tsunami. The plumber is here right now trying to figure out how bad it is. So I’m going to ignore the sound of the Wet-Vac and remember the amazing weekend…

One of the books that has been patiently waiting for review finally gets its due today: introducing The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet Volume II, by Hunter Hammersen (Pantsville Press 2013).

Summer Search needs you (and you could win an excellent prize)
Last winter, my blog readers came through for me (again) in such a huge way. It was the first Black Bunny Fibers fundraiser for Summer Search, an amazing nonprofit program that helps highly motivated high school students get into college, graduate from high school, and succeed in college. Since Mr. Black Bunny Fibers has worked with the group longer, and…
