Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. I am so glad you are here! I’ve got some crafty adventures to share with you. I continued to do some projects with natural dyeing, still working on my Friday Shrug for the #ScottishShrugClubKAL hosted by Amy Palko. My dear knitting friend, Corinne and I go on an overnight road trip in search of Maine Yarn. I’ll take you along a walk on the Bold Coast beach in Cutler Maine. It’s rainy but still gorgeous. Along the way we encounter a vision that fills my head of a scene from a Spanish book.. Don Quixote by Manuel de Cervantes. It’s a complete tangent but I just had to read you an excerpt from the book. I hope you get a chuckle…

Cozy up, settle in and let me keep you company while you work on your crafty project. I hope to inspire you to do what you love by showing you what I love.

PS!!!!!
I’d like to mention that my travel companion, Corinne (Cunningham) is an author as well as a very talented knitter. Find her on IG @crnnoel https://instagram.com/crnnoel?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
Her novel is a perfect read for capturing the autumn season in New England.
