V-Shawl article in Handwoven magazineHandwoven
V-Shawl
 
 
I have been weaving v-shawls for years and have taught dozens of people to weave them. The great thing about a v-shawl is the way it stays on the shoulders and is flattering no matter the figure. It is fun to weave because of the way that the design is formed on the back. My article with instructions for this v-shawl in Bambu Lace yarn was published in the March/April 2012 Handwoven. I have scheduled another V-Shawl Class for June 5 & 6. I can also offer this class as a Guild Workshop. As always if you want to take a class but at a time I don't have listed, contact me and we can schedule a class.

Lambs for Sale 
 
There were 81 lambs born within between mid-February and mid-March. They can be weaned in the next month or two and several lambs have already been reserved. I am always glad to show off the sheep and talk to people who are interested in starting their own Jacob flock. Take a look at our ram lambs and ewe lambs. There are also some adult rams for sale. Contact me for more information. Want to see lambs for yourself in the privacy of your home? In the next newsletter there will be links to JUMPING LAMB videos. Stay tuned.
 
 
There are a lot of fiber events this spring. I hope to see you at some of them.
