And that you thought it fit. I'm glad I have sheep/wool farmers to share it with. Now to read the whole book. <BR/>I have the same struggle buying local as well. Sadly.<BR/>A man with a wheel, a chick magnet? interesting. It was good that you went along. <BR/>I would like to have seen that spin in. <BR/><BR/>Have a blessed day, <BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105656475441064181.post-79529425197428332942008-03-20T22:10:00.000-04:002008-03-20T22:10:00.000-04:00Debbie,I struggle with the buying local/being frug...Debbie,<BR/><BR/>I struggle with the buying local/being frugal thing, too. I'd love for life to be black and white, but it's not. So we do the best we can.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'd love to have a visit from you! Boy, couldn't we make a mess. Better wait 'til summer, so we can make our messes outside...

Sounds more like wisdom! I never thought about a man with a wheel being a chick magnet, but it makes sense. Good for you for putting a hedge around your marriage. <BR/><BR/>Your reminders that buying local is a good thing are hitting home here. For me, the challenge is to balance buying locally and being frugal. But, I've emailed my local woolery to see what she charges for roving (still want to try a braided rug like you made). I wish you were local. I'd beg to come help you experiment with dyeing your wool!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>DebbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
