We had a big storm and then rain all day! Keep it coming. It was scary when the sky was dark as night at 8 AM but the rain is welcome.
The folks at Quince & Co confess to a strong bias toward
natural fibers, be they soft and sensuous or rustic and sturdy. They also think
businesses can be good citizens—should be good citizens—without making too much
of a fuss about it. The wool at Quince
& Co is sourced from American sheep and other fibers come from earth
friendly suppliers. If you have not yet

Hyla Brook KAL/Knit
Along
Starts September 1, 2012!
Hyla
Brook is a garter stitch shawl with bands of lace and a very light ruffle,
or choose to leave the ruffle off and finish it with a plain garter stitch
border. There is now a thread on our
Ravelry board so you can share your yarn and ask questions before we start the
KAL. Thanks for your patience in waiting
for more yarn from Quince & Co.

It was so wonderful to hear sweet Bronwyn's voice and laughter on the podcast again. I wish I had been there to see you at Stitches.
I hope that Char's grandson is doing better, poor little guy. They must have all been so frightened.
Enjoy your goodies from Stitches, can't wait to see your finished projects.
Great pictures of friends and yarn buys. Nice to hear Miss B again and hope that Char will join you soon. Thanks for another enjoyable show.
I agree about the long prolouges. When I read "Water for Elephants" I was really glad that my mom (who recommended it me) told me not to read the prolouge. THe prolouge was the climatic moment of the book. Reading the prolouge would have ruined the big moment. I can't figure out why they did that. You're right...if it's important put it in the book.
Thank you for all this laughter and emotion, it felt good listening to you both while knitting a very red "La Cumparsita". It felt like some of this joy would be into the stitches of my new shawl :-)
I am so excited to listen to this episode -- my iPhone won't download, and I'm working on it. I'm sure I'll be able to listen soon.
