Micheles_sock
Michele of Toots LeBlanc made this amazing sock from two of our yarns (one brown and one brown & gray).  I love it!  It is intarsia in the round.

First up is Color Fiber Festival on April 26th from 10am-5pm in Berkeley.  We are co-hosting this event with Kristine from A Verb for Keeping Warm.  Also there as vendors will be Pigeonroof Studios and Girl on the Rocks.  We will be having classes, fiber tastings, and an area both indoors and out to hang out and spin and knit. 

Next we will be at two shows simultaneously (5/3 & 5/4).  We will be at CNCH and Maker’s Faire both!  We will be sharing a booth will Verb at both events.  Apparently Stephanie will be at the Maker’s Faire on Saturday at 11am giving a talk.

Two great weekends of fun with fiber!  I hope we see you at one or all events.
Happy crafting!  -Brooke
