Ravelry details are here and here.Spinning: I'm still spinning the Cheviot I got in the Secret Santa on the UK Spinners board on Ravelry from Shunklies. I'm nearly three-quarters of the way through it, and I'm fairly sure I'm going to dye some British Blue Faced Leicester to ply with it.Review: The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook by Robson and Ekarius.Something I Really Like: The internet community we are building, triggered by our first Gulf State pin in the listeners' map.
