Note from Luisa Re: FIBER!
I am feeling so very validated seeing fiber move to the head of the class at long last.It's where the whole journey began for me and continues to this day. Every new fiber or fleece is a mystery and joy to be solved. How best to spin it? It's endless and utterly fascinating. Plus talk about meditative.
I always wondered When knitters would discover its wonders and realize that they could get the exact yarn they want if only they could spin it themselves. I see that this is now happening in a big way.
Join in - Become a Fiberista - it's magical. A word: If you take it up (spinning and the like) you just might become obsessed.
You have been warned!

What’s bran-noo in our lives right now is wild harvesting.
The first plant of our gathering season is Lupine. This year we were exceedingly blessed to come across the Lupine Paradise Fields. In all these years of harvesting this plant is THE most amazing display we have ever been treated to. The flower spikes which are usually about 3 inches long, were 12 inches this season in this place.
These gorgeous purple spikes give us an unearthly and slightly hallucinogenic jade-green tinged with blue. We are mad for this rare shade and even more equally mad for gathering it. Fun in the Sun.
We took pictures (natch). Enjoy.
