It’s a Purl, Man

Today’s show is all about the Massachusetts Sheep and Woolcraft Show. My three Guest will be participating in the event which happens over memorial day weekend in Cummington, MA. It’s a great show and if you are in the new england or New York area it is a great way to spend the day. My punkin and I had such a great time last year that I offered to help promote the show this year. I am glad I did, it has made for a great chance to meet some new people and catch up with friends. I hope you enjoy the podcast and come out to Cummington to check out the sheep show.

In this episode I speak with Gale Zucker one of the authors of Shear Spirit. She has traveled to many farms and has brought back the stories and photos of people living their passions. She will be signing books on Sunday morning at the Botanical Shades booth.

My second guest, Andrea Colyer, is one of the owners of Greenwood Hill Farm. You may remember Andrea from episode 33. We catch up a little and talk about the MA Sheep show. I also gush about how much I love the Merino yarn that she makes on her farm.

My final guest, Louise Walsh, of Evergreen Farm shares her stories about being in the small and fuzzy business. She is a crafty and powerful force in the bunny business and has a lot to tell us about how wonderful the community at the MA sheep and wool is.

Thanks to all the vendors who were willing to be on the show. I hope that we get to visit in the future in person.

hey… you… you with the teeth. You still reading/listening to this blog. Well… It’s good to see that you are still there. Sometimes I forget you are there because I get wrapped up in work and life and blah… blah… blah… you get the idea.

Anyhow, I wanted to let you know that this here podcaster is not taking a break and that there are more shows on the way. It has just been a while since I had time to rub together to put a show out.

This weekend my mother is coming up for our pseudo annual trip to NH Sheep and Wool. I look forward to showing her all the progress I have made on her sweater, it’s only taken three years.

We will put together a show with interviews that I did at NENA last week.

Next week I am going to put out a second episode in the middle of the week about the MA Sheep and Wool. I really enjoy going to that show with my pumkin wife and am going to try and share with you a little pre-show goodness.

I haven’t forgotten about you and I am not podfagding (please it’s been less than a month).

Also, if I owe you an email… sorry… can’t get to it.. I will catch up in June, I promise…
