Addie Otto
So I'm getting to start a new project, Fish City, but it's 29"x21" and I
don't have scroll rods anywhere near long enough. I need 7 more floss
colours (can you believe that's even possible??), so off I go to
Michael's with my 40% off coupon. I'm thinking I can get some for $10
or $15. No...

Bird brain? by

Last week, we bought a pet parrotlet (think miniature parrot) and he has

Fiber of the month by
Addie Otto
If you were to sign up for a fiber of the month, which fiber would you
choose and why?
I want to start experimenting with SEX but I don't know where to start. I
have tried a couple of overdyes and silks, but no favourites yet. Do you
have any?
