The craft room is complete!
-A few small details left to do (like curtains), but we're recording from the completed room.

We're moving!
-Hosting for the show is moving from YouTube to blip.tv. Shows will still be embedded on the blog (with a short ad at the beginning to offset costs), or available via iTunes (FINALLY!). According to the email I received from the Apple people, you should wait a couple of days before searching for the show on iTunes.

Yarn Buying Moratorium
-I'm announcing it here and hoping that you all will hold me accountable. I will purchase no fibery goodness until October 16, 2011 after Rhinebeck.
-Exceptions include: yarn needed for gifts, Estes Park Wool Market, Sock Summit, and Rhinebeck itself.

Blue Moon Fiber Arts 50/50 merino/tencel in Jonagold (this fiber isn't up on the website)
-Originally spun and plied in May 2007, but I had plied it in the same direction as the singles. I found the skein while cleaning out the stash room and plied it correctly.

Sorry everyone....

...but I’m completely pooped tonight. Just pulled my butt out of bed at 10:30, didn’t go to SnB, just feeling kind of blah. So rather than give you a less-than-stellar show, I’m delaying recording until this Friday. See you then!
