Last week’s three day show, the Norman May Fair, was great fun. We saw old friends and met new people, including some fun knitters – one of which was a young woman knitting the sleeve of her sweater as she walked around enjoying the art on display. Now how cool is that?var gaJsHost = ((“https:”…
This is Paul, our rural delivery postman. He travels the back roads, the black tops and the dirt and gravel roads. Paul delivers yarn, among other things. Lovely luscious yarn. Sometimes he also takes yarn away – but that’s okay because it means another person receives yarn from their postman, who may be named Paul…
It is past midnight and I cannot sleep. I long for slumber, rest and the rejuvenation it would bring. Instead my minds swirls in thought. We’re three weeks into our spring festival season. Weekends are full of people, customers, some old friends we’ve not seen since the last farmers market back in October, new people…

Contest closed! Winner Announced Later Today! I spent part of last week cleaning more Oklahoma fleece to send the mill and have spun into yarn. Which prompted me to repeat the wooly nursery rhyme in my head over and over. You know the one.. (I’ve always thought of myself as the black sheep of the…
I want to give a shout out to all the knitters who showed up at the Sand Springs Herbal Affair on Saturday despite the drippy weather! For those who aren’t in the Oklahoma area, the Sand Springs Herbal Affair is the big mama of herb events in our area. It’s been going on for…
Presenting an intoxicating new color! Wine, when chosen well, is a lovely way to accentuate the flavors of a meal or a dish. We think our color, Bacchus, named for the Roman god of wine, will enhance your lace knitting experience in the same way. This large skein is enough to make you tipsy. Lost…
