Been so long, I'm not sure where to start...

... but handspun can't make for a bad beginning.
4 oz. /360 yd. sport-weight cabled yarn (two 2-plies, plied together) Enchanted Knoll Farm, "Hard Cider," superwash merino batts
4 oz. / 200 yd. thick 'n' thin chunky single Hungry for Handspun "Honey Toast" merino wool
4 oz. / 300 yd. worsted-weight single Hello Yarn, "Baked Alaska," Romney wool
8 oz. / 626 yd. dk-weight 2-ply Spunky Eclectic, "Think Spring" African Fine wool and "Burning Bush" 80/20 merino/silk two colorways spun seperately then plied together
4 oz. / 130 yd. bulky 2-ply Hello Yarn, "Verdant," 70/30 merino/mohair
4 oz. / 325 yd. dk-weight single Susan's Spinning Bunny, "Plummy," Targhee wool
My personal life has been tumultuous in the past few months and has required my attention. I wasn't sure how or whether to address it here, so I retreated from the blog and, sadly, from much of my fiber-arts work. I'm still not ready to talk about it, but I'm attempting a re-entry on the fiber-front... please stay tuned...

Hi Lori!

This is so coincidental. I just came back today from two months off of all blogs. I just posted for the first time today, too. Sweetie, hang tough. Your work looks fantastic as ever.

Love,
Trixie

I hope you're ok and that things have calmed down.

Yarn is always a good place to start. The rest can come later.

Hugs.
