Yarn Museum and Bust
I'm humbled to have been asked and agreed to be involved in a super cool project, although the super-coolness, like all things collective, depends on everyone (read: YOU). The Yarn Museum! It's a collective, collabrative effort to honor the artistry and beauty of all handspun yarn. How could I say no? I'm on the Circle of Advisers, along with some of just about the best spinners out there. Check it out, and submit. It goes live in a few weeks so let's make it awesome!
Also, thanks to Dharia from Skeintily clad (and now several others) I saw myself (or at least my yarn) in Bust again this month! Woohoo, what a surprise. It's in the editor's picks for holiday gifts! Exciting. Yep, me and Parker Posey in Bust this month, we're like this, me and Parker.
Oh, I thought of another thing I want to trade for -- plushies for LB for winter holiday. He loves stuffed friends! oh, and did I mention art? I mean, I know it's all art, but wall art? that too. I should make a list, or a page, or something...

Can't wait to see the Yarn Museum up and running. What a kickass idea!

I was kicking around B-more this weekend and found a new store that should definitely stock your yarn--Atomic Pop in Hamden. It's a branching out of Atomic Books--they've expanded their toy, craft and art books into a new store right at the corner of Falls Rd and 36th. They had some yarn from mypapercrane and some knitting kits and the whole vibe of the store is very street/alterna-art and I think the people that would walk in there would be looking for v. unique/arty things and would be willing to put down cash for it. Maybe you've already discovered it but I just wanted to let you know in case you haven't!
