I love everything Rita creates! Sister Bear's first braid of roving was given to her by Rita and I have a bunch of her roving too. I didn't get to make it due to farm business but I'm glad it was fun. I can't wait to pick your memory regarding the day.
I love your blog and if I had anything I would like to hear more about it would be those beautiful sewing machines you tease us with. Maybe a bit more background on your sewing machine love.
I have never knitted off a sweater blank although I've looked at them...great prize.
I promise to send lots of visitors your way on Fiber Arts Friday...
Happy Post-A-Versary!
I come for the knitting, but the dog? Just killz me! :-)
My favorite thing? Well, I came here for the yarn first, but then I fell in love with LittleDog (formerly known as Boomer). :) I've got a bit of a soft spot for him.
I like to visit your blog because you write well, have lovely photos, and always a great knitting idea for me to steal!
The shawl will be gorgeous in that yarn!! Yarnhollow is one of my favs!!

Thanks for leaving a comment on my contest . . . I actually already read your blog, I'm just more of a lurker by nature. As with any blog, I love watching the projects people make and their thought processes . . . but I also adore puppy pictures. :)
