After hiking to the lighthouse, we decided to check out the Nautical Yarn shop in Ludington and walk around downtown a little. Tom wasn’t a big fan of my third yarn shop visit in a week, but we explained that Sandy needed some yarn. Plus, Sandy had never been in a local yarn shop. Her …

Knit and Spin in Montague, Michigan
Another great reason to stop in Montague, Michigan, is to visit the Knit and Spin. Ever since my local yarn shop in Columbus closed, I stop at all the local yarn shops I can find. I don’t need that much yarn, but I try to find something to buy to support a local, in-person shop. …
Waverly Stone Gastropub and Garen Huis Yarns
On the day we visited Windmill Island Gardens, Tom and I ate at Waverly Stone Gatropub and visited Garen Huis Yarns. Although Tom and I enjoyed Windmill Island Gardens very much, we were done there by noon. So we decided to ride the tandem to downtown Holland, Michigan, and check it out. We wanted to …
2022 Weaving Update from All Over
After I wrote about teaching Grace to weave, I realized that I had not written a 2022 weaving update. In fact, I didn’t write a 2021 weaving update. So you haven’t been able to see the beautiful things I’ve been creating on my two looms. You did, of course, see the overshot items I made …
Teaching Grace to Weave
I have been teaching Grace to weave. Last fall I offered to teach my niece, Grace Clymer, how to weave. We didn’t get very far last fall because our schedules had a hard time meshing. Grace only lives 30 minutes from us, but someone has to bring her up to my house and we all …
Barn Loom at the Buckeye Agricultural Museum
I recently spent a couple of days warping the old barn loom at the Buckeye Agricultural Museum in Wooster. The Buckeye Agricultural Museum is a dream that my Uncle Paul shared with my Grandpa Irvin. After Grandpa’s death, Uncle Paul made it a reality, opening the museum in 2018. We have visited several times and …
Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster, Ohio
Another fun thing we did on Memorial Day weekend was attend the Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster, Ohio. We went to this last year on Sunday, but this year we were busy on Sunday. Instead, we attended on Saturday but had the same wonderful time. Last year we went with Mom and Dad and …
Central Ohio Weaving and Fiber Arts Guild
On Facebook I belong to the “Central Ohio Weaving and Fiber Arts Guild” group. I also belong to the “Addicted to Knitting”, “8-Shaft Weaving”, “Macomber Loom Owners” and “Kromski Fun” (spinning wheel) groups. So I get my share of posts about what is going on in weaving, spinning, and knitting. Facebook is a good resource …
Overshot Class at Red Stone Glen
The first week of May, I headed to Overshot Class at Red Stone Glen near York, Pennsylvania. Tom and I had only been in Ohio for two weeks, but I had been wanting to take this class for a while so we worked it into our schedule. We took the RV and stayed at Gifford …
Local Yarn Store Hard to Find
My local yarn store went out of business while I was in North Dakota. I had been going to The Yarn Shop since we moved away from Akron. The shop always had what I wanted and gave me ideas for new projects. I went there in June to get yarn for a baby blanket. Only …
