    Wow. It’s a week later. Lots has happened. We’ve been to California and back. We also fnished the new display units, the rewinding and tagging of yarn and have packed the truck for tomorrow’s show.

    I hope to see some of you at the Connecticut Sheep and Wool Festival. Ball and Skein will be our usual spot in the Gold Building. Please stop by and show off your beautiful knitted things. Isn’t that one of the best parts of a show?

    We’re off in a few to setup. I’ll leave you with a bit of cuteness from my week.

    If I had to choose one word to describe the brilliant array of color that hallmarks spring, it would be ‘POP’.

    The colors are incredibly vibrant, eye searingly bright. I considered editing the color in this photo to tone it down. But, why, when the blue is already amazing. The skunk cabbage is a shade of spring green that we’re treated to in the earliest days of the season.

    So here it is, another example of this compressed spring. The skunk cabbage was under snow two weeks ago.

    Did you get a chance to put your hummingbird feeders out?

    There is some knitting.

    Reversible cables. I love that both sides are beautiful. A bit of an analogy and a great reminder to appreciate all sides.

    1. That’s a neat trick, to make all sides pretty.
