On Sunday, we went to Moore State Park in Paxton for a walk. What a pretty place! There are trails everywhere, a lovely pond and the ruins of a village from the 18th century. I haven't ever seen so many rhododendrons and I bet they are a sight to behold in the spring. My husband took a few pictures:
Welcome! I am a hand spinner and the whole process of spinning yarn from raw fleece to pretty yarn just fascinates me. I hope I can share on a tip or two about fiber. I'd like to share the scenery from around my home in beautiful New England and perhaps a recipe (and too many pictures of Jake and Marvin, our dogs). I hope you enjoy..................Emily

The Weekend
The weekend has come and gone; thought I'd share a couple of fun things to do around here (Massachusetts) in case you are ever in the area. On Saturday, we went to a cool used bookstore that my husband had visited about twenty years ago. The store's motto: "Books you don't need in a place you can't find". Anyway, I came home with a few good books including one that looks promising titled Adventures in Yarn Farming by *Barbara Parry. Ms. Parry's farm is in Shelburne, a super pretty part of the state. There are a few knitting patterns in the book and I found a sweater pattern that I might actually attempt (I hate following knitting patterns; it tries my patience to count rows, stitches, anything). Here is a link to the bookstore in Montague: http://www.montaguebookmill.com/
