Hello All

Here comes the dark nights of winter and I have some adjusting to do. sleep and exercise . eat well and stay away from SUGAR my favorite.

I have some catching up to do. I went to the vermont Sheep and wool festival in Tunbridge VT all day on Saturday Oct. 2nd.

Purchases from the day are 2 skeins of merino/cashmere and 5 lbs of top from Zellingers. Lovely. I also spent time wandering in a drunkin stooper just smelling and looking at all the fiber and animals. I love wool

here are some pics of recent additions to my stash.
