Two New {Among Friends} Clubs Open

All American Yarn ClubToday is a very exciting day because today is the day that the sign-ups for the {Among Friends} All American yarn & pattern club open.  This means that we have two clubs open for sign-ups at the same time right now.

The {Among Friends} All American club has 4 shipments featuring yarns from US mills using domestic wool sources.  The shipments will go out every other month and will include a pattern written specifically for the yarn by some of our favorite designers.

Best of the Northwest yarn club

Also open are sign-ups for our Best of the Northwest yarn, pattern & goody box.  This is a one shipment box full of 3 skeins of yarn, a new pattern from Chrissy Gardner, items featuring the work from some of our favorite graphic designers and crafts people, and other goodies from the Pacific Northwest.  I call this the yarn club for the impatient since you get it all at wonderful items at once.

The idea of the {Among Friends} clubs was born out of my desire to share with others the wonderful community of creative people that I have gotten to know through Sincere Sheep.  I hope that you’ll join us and knit {Among Friends}

A Visit to Cormo Sheep & Wool Farm

Two weeks before Stitches West on a beautifully clear, sunny day I headed out to Orland, California to participate in a shearing day at Cormo Sheep & Wool farm.  The weather could not have been more perfect as I zoomed my way up I-5.

When I pulled in this sweet face peering through the gate greeted me and a border collie jumped in my lap as soon as I opened the door to get out.  No question, I was in the right spot!

I've been buying Cormo wool from Sue Reuser, the owner & shepherdess, for a few years now but haven't had a chance to go visit her farm.  This year I decided to change that and go help out at one of her shearing days (you can too if you sign up for her newsletter and get in contact with her).
