Also, Go to the Inaugural: Martharsquo;s Vineyard Fiber Fest April 19, 2008 at the New Ag Hall in W.

There is also a weekend package if you are interested that can be found on the fiber festival website. I am still collecting entries for the 50 episode drawing which will now include fun toys donated by my friend Hapto, some books, and some fiber.... To add yourself to the entries please comment on this episode letting me know when you have added a review to Google Maps for your LYS (I will believe you because fiber people are an honorable sort, right).

Most days she can be found in her BB / MUSEUM in Cobquecura with her many guests. Andrea Tom of Greenwod Hill Farm Today's interview is with the nice folks at Greenwood Hill Farm in Hubbardston, MA. Andrea and Tom share some great insight into what farm life is like and what it means to be local. When I visited them to do the interview they were at the begining of the sheep birthing process. Now they are probably on the Sheep Wool Circuit. If you rin into them, say hi... and if you end up touching their yarn you may have trouble putting it down (it's so incredibly soft and excelent for dyeing) Show notes and links will be updated soon.

We take a trip in her Museum of Kitschy Stitches to find some of the origins of the male patterns. She has promised to add images of the exhibits on her site. Some background, I have the following categories of male sweater patterns: Mud Colors (most sweaters for guys are grey, black, navy, brown, or some combo of such) Man Stripe (think abercrombie and finch) The Cosby Sweater (nuff said) Cable, rib, gansey (usually in a mud color) NEW Lil Boy's (upsized childrens sweater) NEW Women's Matchy (designed for her first and should have been left at that) Please comment about this show, I am really interested in anything you have to say about the guy man issue.
