For those of you who want to learn how to knit–here’s Knitting 101 (aka the wrong way). Remember–yarn can’t feel pain!
As I mentioned in my previous comment, nettle cloth has grabbed my attention. Here’s a video/article that’s wonderful: http://www.theecologist.org/green_green_living/clothing/304924/second_skin_why_wearing_nettles_is_the_next_big_thing.html Also: http://www.swicofil.com/products/016nettle.html and http://savagedesigns.net/pages/ It seems the fiber shed movement is on the march!
Great minds think alike (Melissa and Kirsten!). You all probably receive the Weaving Today e-newsletter but I thought I’d share it here as well: Who Says Weavers Can’t Buy Local? What’s in your “fibershed?” As appealing as a little building…
This just came in to my e-mail. For those of you who are interested in weaving for yardage, I thought it might be of interest. Enjoy! http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/20175/the-work-of-weaver-teresa-kennard/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=eletter&utm_content=20111011-weaver-teresa-kennard&utm_campaign=threads
I do believe I have a young weaver in the making. Our grandson, Luca, loves playing in Grammy’s fiber studio!
This farmer loves his sheep!
