Knitting is Therapeutic! Those of us who knit, KNOW. After a stressful day, when the world wears us down, or spools us up to an unacceptable level of stress, nothing is better than sitting down with our knitting in our laps. Soon, as our hands work, the needles establish a rhythm, and the stress of our day begins to unwind like the yarn into something lovely. It could be a sweater, or a washcloth.

The trip to Estonia was a huge success. I hope to share the beautiful fibers I found there with all of you very soon. I learned so much on this trip! I drank it in like cool water.

And yes, there was yarn!  The wool produced in the Baltic States is exquisite, and the linen  comes in a close second. At the market and in all the authentic shops, you’ll find linen woven into beautiful tea towels, table cloths, and...
