Music and fiber
We went to see the Whoreshoes last night at the Iron Springs Pub. The music was great, bluegrass with attitude. They are an all-female band. Everybody sings and it seems like everybody plays 25 instruments. Check them out!

I heard about the Whoreshoes because Lala, who plays bango and lap steel in the band, is the partner of a local knit blogger, Rachael. Both were at the Machine Knitting To Dye For workshop I went to last month and both have very entertaining blogs.

While I am talking about music, I should mention that the CD my SP7 pal made me is great! It is an ecclectic mix of rock, bluegrass, and soul. Lovely!

And a bit more fibery goodness to keep me honest:
merino-tencel
Merino-Tencel that I dyed a few days ago. I love the shine of the tencel and can't wait to spin how it spins up.

Beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing how those spin up. I've been tempted by the tencel blends, but shy to try them since the tencel stays undyed and I'm not sure how it'll look all spun. Probably beautiful. Be sure to post pix!

I've spun tencel blends and I really like the way they spin and look. This is the first time I have dyed it.
