Since I last sent a newsletter life looks a little different. Last autumn we moved from CA to the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. We endured a long and very snow-filled winter but spring is finally showing its face, and in the past 10 days our view has turned from sticks and mud to be blanketed in the most vibrant and lush green-of-greens nature could spoil us with!
Our move was prompted by almost a decade of dairy farming for other people and the deep desire to work for ourselves. We now find ourselves on 240 acres in Vermont's rugged Northern mountains hastily getting ready to welcome goats to what was previously a cow dairy.
What's all this got to do with knitting, you ask?
As I'm sure many of you know juggling multiple responsibilities and wearing many hats can require some serious time management practices. In delving into this new chapter of our lives I have been prompted to look at how I spend my precious hours/minute/seconds, and how to make best use of them.
While I may not be able to travel and teach as frequently in these coming years, and my designing time will be forged by harnessing precious moments of time amidst farm life, I want to more consciously share projects, news and updates with you in a way that supports my lifestyle (and love of knitting!) rather than taking away from it.
These newsletters will no doubt evolve over time, but I hope to maintain a more frequent presence in your inbox, while making heavy use of images and photos to share our goings-on.
So without further ado -
