WHAT FUN

Yesterday I had such an exciting day. I drove about 50 miles to get private lessons on my Silver Reed 860 and especially help with DAK. I learned so much in the three hour session! If you have never heard of the Fine Line http://www.finelineca.org/ . What a great place. One room was full of knitting machines, another full of weaving looms. I will be trying some things out and then post pics.

We had three young foxes come for a visit. They are so cute. Their ears are almost as big as they are.
