This episode is sponsored by my Longaberger Home Business and Quince & Co.  The folks at Quince & Co produce a line of thoughtfully conceived yarns in an historic spinnery in the state of Maine.  Their wool comes from domestic sheep and other fibers come from earth friendly suppliers.  You will find that Quince & Co 100% wool is a living fiber, beautiful, practical, sustainable, and affordable. Find them at www.quinceandco.com

Today’s show all about the Knitting Pipeline Retreat and it will be a short episode without the regular segments.  Episode 116 is the interview with our son Pete after he finished his through hike of the Colorado Trail last summer.  Next week I plan to be back with the regular segments.

All I can say is WOW on your son's hike and all the traveling he has done. Great he is doing this now when he is so young and healthy.

Loved hearing from Pete in episode 116! I hope he's able to settle in soon in The Rose City; Portland really is a gem. (I'm 200 miles East in Pendleton.)
