All Fiber Retreat






















We had a couple of inches of snow yesterday and it has changed our whole landscape! Somehow it seems quieter and muffled by the snow. The bird are sure hungry and so are the sheep. Here is a lovely painting of Sheep in the Glen by Susan Westwood

















One of the things we will be doing at the All Fiber Retreat in Columbus December 5-7 is knitted flowers. I will be demonstrating that. I missed all Susan's retreats last year so I am really looking forward to this year. I will be there Later on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. I have always had such a lovely time with the great people at Susan's retreats. Hope you will be there...
Call Susan: 920-623-4237 and let her know you are coming.

Take a look at the Teeswater Fleeces for sale from Susan's flock:
This should be fine, long-stapled lustre wool with no dark fibers in the fleece. It should be uniform in texture over the whole body. Teeswater wool is in great demand for worsted suiting, knitting wools and also blending with other fibers.

We just had our String Alongs meeting at Susan's and had a wonderful time! I think that the last people to leave pulled out at 11 pm!! Thank you Susan for being such a generous host!

The directions to Susan's are:

Coming from Hwy 90-94 take Hwy 151 North or toward Sun Prairie.

On Hwy 151 you will take exit 108 or Hwy V V. to the North or left.

Go about 3 miles into East Bristol and before the big church Hwy V V goes
north.

The shop is 1.6 miles north of East Bristol.
