Sunrise Lodge Fiber Studio

Ok . I know it's early but......MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I'm so excited!!! Usually the blog gets updated on Wednesdays and I do not think that it will be updated before then so there ya have it:) We are very excited about the new year to come. There are many fantastic things happening here at the Studio that we will be officially announcing just after Christmas. That's right......we are branching out, getting bigger, producing more products, and introducing a line of sock yarns!!! Oh I can hardly keep it all in. (Keep in mind that this is being typed in between bouts of hand clapping). Most of the announcements will be on the home page but, as we have stated in the past, the blog will most likely be our form of 'newsletter communication'. With all of the spinning going on I have been wondering if perhaps my weaving was missing me. I mean really, what is a weaver doing spinning?!?!?!? I'll tell you exactly, there has been quite the demand for our yarn:) What a wonderfu

Well, the socks have been nabbed:) I have decided to give them to my darling sister-in-law. Let's face it.....I'm just like the plumber. :) No new pictures today but, they are coming along nicely......and......they are going to be toe socks:)

I was recently inspired to make something and actually keep it for myself, something I very very very seldom do:) I have also been finding that many other ' crafters ' fail to keep things for themselves too. Funny how that happens, I guess. The plumber always has a leaky faucet.....gym teacher was always not so fit......police officer talking on the cell phone while driving. I fit right into the general work force now:) Time to change that and make something and actually wear it........want to see? Isn't this yarn the most amazing bright cool neato yarn you've ever seen?!?!?!?! Want to know where I got it? Sure ya do!!!! http://www.perchancetoknit.etsy.com/ Check out her shop for some wonderful fantastic yarns!!! Of course there is much more but, here is the latest in hand spun:) We are also going to add another person to Sunrise Lodge Fiber Studio:) I can't believe I'm actually putting this in the blog before it is 'official' but I can't help how

Well, I guess it happens to the best of us. Yeah, you've got it. Time to update, fix, recolor (a little) and get the web site rocking and rolling. I have put it off WAY too long:) Due to some technical stuff with the shopping service we were using, we decided that it is in our best interest to use only Etsy as our online shopping cart at this time. Etsy has been absolutely wonderful to us and they offer a wonderful community environment. What better way to show our appreciation than to give back? I can say that we are very thankful to the online community. It has been a wonderful pleasure exploring what all of the Internet has to offer. It's also very nice to actually meet people at shows, which we will continue to do and increase year to year. We also have in the works for next year a brand new line of painted roving, hand dyed yarn, hand spun yarn, and, of course, finished products online. Until this point a majority of the 'finished' items (hand wovens and knits) hav
