Please note that the Spring Leaf colorway gave me fits during its photo shoot.  The color is most accurately captured In the photos of the Walnut (DK) base.

Thank YOU!

Special Midwestern-Country-Woman-Arm hugs go out to all of the wonderful and sparkly attendees of the Knitting Pipeline Retreat.  You made my first knitting retreat a wonderful and memorable experience (although you might not be able to tell the memorable part from my crazy self-centered retelling of events).

I’m admitting to show note failure this week….So much to do!

Feel free to pm me or leave a comment in the Ravelry group if you need anything.

This week’s episode was recorded before news of the Boston Marathon Tragedy.  My love goes out to all of you this morning.

I’m skipping show notes this morning to give my little one extra hugs and make more time for meditative hope for all.

Much much love,
