The pattern is the Ursa Sweater by Berraco, We modified it to make it more of a swing coat. Yep, Joe is still here, a little thinner, looking old and headed through another Maine winter ... God willing.

Is Joe still around? I LOVE the sweater. Sounds ...

I've read so much about Common Ground. Sounds like a wonderful experience. I keep looking at your wool and now have a co-worker salivating over it too! I have 4 projects started. SO, when they are finished (why wait?) I think I need so double dips. They are beautiful!

Hey Jani!
Thank you so much for the offers! I may take you up on all of them.:) I'll bring my 13 year old one of the days so I will have some help.:) See you soon!

Hi Kelly,
Looking forward to seeing you in 2 weeks (yikes!) at CGF. Don't worry about no relief, Leah & I & Michele will be more than happy to help you set up, sell, and clear out. Bring lots, sell lots! We are only 15 min from fairgrounds, you are welcome to stay here, after parties are great! Perfect place for Angus, I was going to mention him to Amy. Alas his face is too fuzzy (cute) for our island. He's gonna love Roque, the pampered island life!
See you soon, Jani

I think you have the best, luckiest job in the world. I hope to try that someday.

Hahaha! I may take you up on that! The Babydoll Blend is running low, I can set some aside if you like. See you soon.

Can't wait to meet you at Common Ground, Kelly...

2010-09-06T16:55:06.939-05:00

Can't wait to meet you at Common Ground, Kelly! I am planning to take a day off from work to head up on Friday and will be happy to relieve you if you need a little break. Eager to see your wool and hopefully get a skein or two of the babydoll/angora blend if it's still available.

Beautiful, Kelly. Curious who you use for spinning...

2010-08-22T07:34:59.090-05:00

Beautiful, Kelly. Curious who you use for spinning? And processing? I have been trying different places and still looking for one I can work with more long-term. Any input on Hope Spinnery for me? I wonder if the babydoll fleece is too fine for him to process?

It's gorgeous!

2010-08-20T06:40:07.868-05:00

It's gorgeous!

2010-08-07T08:21:20.544-05:00

Hi Kelly - I enjoyed your post this morning. I too am embarking on a new life. I am moving to a rural area, and helping a friend of mine on her produce farm. I've been speaking with a Mennonite family to see if they will rent me their one room cabin with a loft, and will speak with them again on Monday about a time when I can go down there to Casey Co KY and meet with them to see if they like me enough to rent to me. Now, it is a Mennonite cabin, so now indoor plumbing except a faucet in the kitchen area, and no electricity. It sits so far back away from the road and in the woods that you can't see the lights at night from the neighboring farms. And to go with that I am getting ready to buy a 4x4 truck today since the road to the cabin is dirt and hilly. I can identify with your spirit of adventure so much. Over the winter in the cabin, I will be using your wonderful yarn to create interesting/usable projects, maybe something to sell at a farmers market next year to bring in a little extra funds. I wish you well on your new endeavors - it's neat to start anew again, and again. Take care, from KY.

Hi Kelly, I can't wait to get the yarn. I'll have to decide if I want to make something for someone else or be a yarn hog and keep that luciousness for myself! LOL I think this winter, while I'm holed-up inside, I may try and teach myself to knit. It seems that with knitting you can make many more diverse things than with crocheting, but maybe I'm just not experienced enough at crocheting yet. I'll let you know when it arrives, and I'll probably do a blog post about it, if you don't mind. Thanks, much, take care, from KY.

It is good indeed to be the Wool Witch! From one Wytch to another Witch!

As a processor how quickly does Green Mountain Spinnery return fiber? I am looking for a new processor for this fall post Rhinebeck.

Thanks for the great reminder of freedom, that I, for one, usually take so much for granted. I'm at a point where I may be making my move to the country, and thinking of the freedom to do so fits so well with your post today. BTW - I love the color of your peacock yarn that you had a photo of on Facebook this morning. Have a great 4th of July weekend. Take care, from KY.

Hi Kelly: This is my first comment on your blog. I'm glad you had a good time frolicking. The yarn pic is beautiful, such great colors. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your blog. Take care, from KY.

Wish we were going to be up there for the Frolic, but the kids are still in school here in NYC. Hope the big August event won't be the week of the 14th but looking forward to finding out what it is regardless.

HUGE knitting event in August? DO TELL! :) Can't wait for Fiber Frolic. I hope to pick up some of your new sock yarn there. See you next weekend!

We were giggling out loud reading your blog and added a link to ours - www.starcroft.blogspot.com. We met your dad on Roque Island, and hope our fiber paths will cross someday!
