I must have been VERY bad
In a past life I must have REALLY pissed off someone – or maybe in this life – because the pain I’ve had the last few days is crazy. A sore back sent me to bed early on Tues, where the pain became SO bad at 3am that Gerry said we should go to the…
Summer in Minnesota FLOWS On!
I love it here. I’m a woman who likes cold weather, and I LOVE chilly Summer evenings and sleep-with-the-windows-open nights. I love Minnesota. And, being a Virgo, I love home. Being home is better than anything else to me (and I do love travel!) so this is a very special time – I know I’ll…

Bum-bum-bummble Bee!
If you want to hear about our newest colors or latest batch of fresh yarns ready for purchase, follow me on Twitter or like our Facebook page and watch for the messages which start, “COLOR UP!” – that means something really good has just come out of the dyepot and it’s ready to purchase!
Preparing For Our First Dye Day
