Spinning Wheel for Jennifer!

For a few months now I've volunteered at the Wooly Knob Fiber Mill skirting fleeces, helping with a washing or two & just hanging out with cool fiber people. :) Yesterday I was gifted the pictured spinning wheel and three balls of roving by one of the owners! (Thanks Jamie!!!) Soon I will be spinning my own yarn for my knitting - how cool is that?

Common Milkweed

Why The Common Milkweed? Well many reasons: 1 - It's important! Milkweed is the only larval food for the Monarch Butterfly and food for many other invertebrates. 2 - It's common, yet possesses singular beauty and therefore represents all the beauty in and around us (right under our noses and on "this side of the fence") and the potential for that common beauty to be recognized, expressed and celebrated. 3 - Its persistence in less than ideal growing conditions proves that the beauty contained in the common endures.
