Pipeliner Notes

Thank you to all returning listeners and a big welcome to new listeners.

Thank you for your star ratings and reviews on iTunes. Beenee, HarpMary, Kuppnd, knitting on Lake T, and Gelreht.

I appreciate all your notes of encouragement, cards, and expressions of support during my treatments and recovery.

Links to retreats and registration materials are in the Knitting Pipeline Retreats Group on Ravelry. There is also a sticky thread with all upcoming retreat dates.

February Retreat Report

 Thank you to Bronwyn, Sarah, and Molly for taking over for me at the February Retreat. Without them, the retreat could not have gone on. I heard a lot of good feedback. There was a “guest book” for retreat attendees to write in. I couldn’t read more than a few at a time because it was so emotional. Some of you got to see my sister, as I pushed her out of the house for her own good, and she made the felted soap. Thank you, Erin, from The Fiber Universe.

We Like March by Emily Dickinson

We like March, his shoes are purple,

He is new and high;

Makes he mud for dog and peddler,

Makes he forest dry;

Knows the adder's tongue his coming,

And begets her spot.

Stands the sun so close and mighty

That our minds are hot.

News is he of all the others;

Bold it were to die

With the blue-birds buccaneering

On his British sky.
