It was so great to see old faces and meet people i have only known via ravatars last weekend at DFW fiber fest. Christina, Whitney and I had a great time knitting and oogling all of the beautiful fibers this year. I was so blown away by all of my dye class students and their natural ability with the colors each picked out. They all created such beautiful skeins of yarn to take home and knit, I cannot wait to see the finished goods.

Many of you at fiber fest said I did not update this blog enough and chided me for not doing so. So, here is an update and I promise to keep at it and not leave this poor page so bare.

I also wanted to announce our 3rd annual trunk show at Jenning Streets Yarns. We will bring a host of tosh worsted as well as our new yarn bases wren, and tosh lace. Due to personal requests we will also be bringing some of our newest colorways, including thunderstorm, briar, thicket, fig and bungalow.

Date :: Saturday, May 9th.

Time :: 10:00 am to 2:00pm {we often stay quite a bit later}

Place :: Fort Worth, Texas {@ Jenning Street Yarns Shop }

We have also listed the trunk show on Ravelry as a Ravelry Event . This is a new Ravelry feature that I think is genius. It allows you to find local, fiber related events in your area and click to attend or add them to your calendar. You can find all of the info listed above as well as directions and other ravelers in your area who will be attending. Jes and Casey never fail to keep adding such perfect features to ravelry. 

Many have sent me email regarding the Sweater Club. This round of the Sweater Club has indeed closed but will reopen again in early Autumn. The club is a six month membership so sign-ups will begin again in July for the August - January session.

There are still spots in the summer edition of the Yarn Club albeit they are filling up much faster than even the last go round.

Some of you have emailed me about the cowl I was wearing at fiber fest. To answer all at once, the cowl is a free pattern listed on the Purl Bee. It is Cashmere Cowl # 2. The cowl is knit using one skein of tosh sock on US size 7 needles so is quite a bit more lacey than the version posted at the Purl Bee.
