Shepherdess bride marries in stunning dress made of wool from her own flock Mail Online. You Will Not Believe The Pics. And, actually, it’s really quite pretty. Jealous? Me?

SOAR 2007 � Heritage GatheringWHOO HOOO! I made it onto Joan’s blog!This is the shop run by the fabulous Joan who taught me how to spin warp yarn that didn’t feel like wire (as well as how to fix a broken warp thread–easy as pie when you know how).

Stephanie Pearl-McPhee wasn’t the only rock star at SOAR. Abby Franquemont was a scholarship recipient this year and is, as I understand it, fiber royalty (Daughter of Ed and Christine Franquemont). Happily, I made it into one of her pictures (scroll down). Between her blog and Stephanie‘s and the podcast (oh! And Knitter’s Review!) you’ll get a pretty clear picture of what SOAR is like…and why we’re so tired...

Yeah, they thought I was a freak.Yeah, so what. Did THEY get to hang out with the coolest, smartest people for a whole week?I think...
