| In session: working, laughing, in deep conversation! |
Wednesday evenings from 6pm-8pm is the Two Rivers Yarn shop knit group. Everyone is very warm and welcoming. I was a new-comer this week to the group. The shop is such a nice atmosphere to knit, spin, see what others are doing and chat about life and fiber.

Of course, we all had a few sweets and tea. Then I had a chance to hand out a few silly yarn notions and business cards. And, the group had me speak for a few minuts on the art of dying and fun of working with color.

I also got to inverview the group a little and found there were not just knitters there - crocheters, spinners, felters, weavers, quilting was big too! A little impulse shopping went on because we couldn't help ourselves. I bought a beautiful little handmade shawl pin (by a relative of one of the evening's knitters). So nice to buy local!

| Colors for winter, spring, summer, fall ! |
Part and parcel was "show and tell" which was fabulous. And I am definitely bias in this case. Linda Minnick of Mid Valley Fibers had knit tons. She showed some holiday presents she had finished, but she gave a big plug for work she had done with Avalon Springs Farm yarn. In particular, the Celtic Knot yarn bundles I make (multiple textured yarns of the same weight in a dye bath together. I am pictured below wearing the shawl and since there was plenty more yarn, she began a triangle pattern textured scarf too.

Purple seems to be a favorite color of the evening too as I have been requested to make much more yarn in purple. For my current trunk show there I have several yarn bases and lots of little knit kits (great for gifts). The show runs through next Wednesday evening, the 19th. So please do come on by - through the week or see you at knit group!
