I have been rather silent recently, though for good reason. First the weaving stuff. My super awesome guild, NOBO Handweavers, decided to do a bookmark exchange using only sheep breeds from the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy also cross listed with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, a UK organization. Eleven of us participated, and each person wove twelve bookmarks, one for each participant and an additional set which we have sent along to Handwoven Magazine. I was thrilled to receive what essentially amounted to wonderful little samples of each breed.
 
My latest article for Schacht Spindle Company was published back at the beginning of February. It's an introduction to twill weaving. I have to say that I'm pretty thrilled about the project I made. It's not that complicated or particularly remarkable, but I'm happy with how it turned out and can't wait to use it in our new home.
