Hi All,
I`ve not been on much. Spring has sprung here and I`ve been out and about quite a bit lately. Just wanted to say hey and I hadn`t forgotten about you all.
Peace,
Jean

Spring is just starting to spring around here too. After last weeks snow, the grass is starting to green. The Canada Geese have been back and what I think are snow geese - I can`t find my bird book - probably hidden under some yarn. They look so cool floating on the water. Leaves haven`t started yet but the buds are plumping up.
Will have to check up the hill to see if the crocus` are blooming yet, tho probably a little while yet. Ranchers are now doing things (?) to the fields and driving their equipment down the roads, slowing traffic, tho I don`t mind usually.
Yesterday I found a month old yarn shop in Calgary with a very nice co-owner. She has some terrific yarns which we drooled over together. There was some yarn from a woolen mill in Alberta which like the brown sheep yarn has some mohair in it. Mohair wasn`t evident in the skein, which actually felt kind of harsh. She had some bags knit and felted in that yarn and the mohair was really long! quite a nice effect and much less expensive than the brown sheep wool sold in Canada. I think I paid about $14.95 for the Lambs pride and this yarn is about $5.50 for the same weight!
She said that she tried to order Brown Sheep for the store and they said that they wouldn`t be able to supply them as they just have enough to keep their current customers happy - but they would put them on a waiting list!!
