DOING MY BIT

Having grown up in the midst of the Southern CA surfing capital, this one made me laugh! It's so clever that it needs to be shared with the world.

SPINNING CRAZY

This is what happens when you leave a crazy, stressed out, semi-depressed woman alone with fiber and a spinning wheel -- 1500 yards of warp yarn. I took two days and holed up in the house with the loom (two study pieces, pictures to follow) and the spinning wheel. It was delicious and made me long for retirement.

NEXT BIG SPINNING CRAZE?

This came from the S & B list today and it's real. This is a rare breed of pig that they are trying to save in the UK. It's a Mangalitza and until 1972 when it became extinct in Britian was a common sight. The fleece was sheared, spun and knit.

In my other life as a children's librarian my love of pig stories is well-known. Now there is twice the reason. I want one!
