day one

I got to start the new year in the best way: a spin-in at a local indie coffee roaster's coffee house. It's a beautifully eclectic place. Everyone brought food to share.


We gathered around the wood stove.



We spun, spindled, knitted, talked, plied, told stories,







and had a visit from a Christmas kitty named Marley.






Laurie's cat and the fiber she was spinning had quite the color resemblance...

cashmere and silk, being spun into laceweight...yum!




There may have been a glass of bubbly, too... a great time was had by all.
How did you start the new year? I hope it involved some kind of fiber activity!

  3. I think any place that has a big wood stove like that is a great for fiber gathering. The highlight of my New Year's Day was a 2-hour hike that I had to drag myself through cause I was so out of shape. Yours sounds so much more fun!
