I love blocking, and I love when little color moments happen. Laying out the knit samples of our Nash Island Roving the other day, I noticed I had pinned the first square with all matching pink pins. So naturally, the rest had to be pinned with color-matching pins as well. There is something really satisfying about following through on these tiny little details, must be the Martha Stewart in me. Blocking in itself is such a satisfying little activity - you get your knits all wet & pin them into place, patting & kneading them out like little yarn biscuits, then magically the next morning they're all puffed out & beautiful and looking just gorgeous. It's like have a day at the yarn spa.
the delight of blocking

I just stumbled across your shop and website. I'm so excited to see another fibery goodness shop! I'll be in Bar Harbor on the 19th for a 5k race I'm participating in. I will have to stop by after the race and see what goodies you've got. Your pictures are fabulous. See you soon!
Hi leah,
I love your blocking photo and comments. By taking big pleasure in small things you have fallen into one of the happy making secrets of life. So happy to have you in my life.
love and hugs,
