Another discovery at the show was Annie Sherburne's "Eco Annie" collection. Her approach to making good use of what we already have with style was remarkable and whilst I was there, at least, her message was reaching a sympathetic audience. This yarn is made from 50% recycled textiles and 50% new wool and has a satisfying crunchy texture. As with the Massey-Rogers collection, the stylish packaging and eye for detail makes all the difference.
A record of my journey towards
"An elegant sufficiency, content,
retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books,
ease and alternate labour, useful life"
Not there yet. Some way to go!
I knit, I sew, I embroider, I paint and draw and occasionally keep a journal. I do funny things with paper, paint and glue, I make books and other stuff. Not much of this is of any use (with the possible exception of the socks I knit) but I find fun in everything I do. I love colour, texture, pattern and want to do it all perfectly - preferably in the next five minutes.
When I'm not making stuff myself, I'm teaching someone else how to do it (or teaching someone else to teach someone else to do it)

Sounds like you had a great time, if a busy one. I am still recovering and examining the horde!
