After completion
Come new beginnings.
To gain strength,
Renew the root.

Last week I was crazy busy dyeing new yarns so that I could be ready for the Northeast Handspinner's Gathering which was held in Vermont this year.
NHA sponsors a gathering every other year in New England. Each time it is hosted in a different New England state and then rotated to a new one. This year it was held at the Grand Summit Hotel and Conference Center at Mount Snow. Such a beautiful background for this fibery event.
The most wonderful experience of my weekend was having the opportunity to meet Deb Menz. Her book, Color In Spinning, was the book that set me on the path exploring color and dye work and I will always be thankful for that.
Every now and then we get these wonderful little happenings in our lives which makes the journey a bit more enjoyable....this was one of them. :-)
I have been finishing up a number of things that I will have to share with you soon....stay tuned. :-)
I'm glad you had fun. I'll definitely be attending in 2012.

You have hand the busiest of summers and falls. Are you ready to drop? I envy everyone who was able to touch your yarn and see the glorious colors for themselves!

Thanks for coming to The Gathering. I love the patterns and yarn I purchased from you. Can't wait to start the Hayrick sock pattern.
