Yesterdays Ewes Yarn Shop in London, Ohio
In my continuing quest to find a great local yarn shop near me, I visited Yesterdays Ewes in London, Ohio. London is about halfway between Westerville and Dayton, so it isn’t really close. It is too far to go for a regular knit night or to grab a ball of yarn. But if I can …
2022 Knitting Update: Coming Off the Needles
I wanted to showcase a few of the things that I knitted by giving you a 2022 knitting update. I haven’t been knitting as much lately because I spend most of my free time writing or weaving. But knitting is the perfect accessory for football season and so I managed to get some projects done. …
Nautical Yarn in Ludington, Michigan
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 …
