NW Handspun YarnsOwner Nancy Bjerke's Great Grandfather owned three ranches in Wyoming during the 1920's. The picture shows he and his family bringing eight bands of sheep down from the Big Horn Mountains to the lowlands after the first autumn snow in 1922. Nancy's Grandfather, who was 10 years old at the time, said that there was always one sheep who hung around the camp where the men would feed her pancakes.

AUTUMN 2008 ANNOUNCEMENTS and Classes

CAT BORDHI Knitting Day:  December 6.  10:00 – 4:00  Come and make a moebius harvest basket or sock, the adventure way.  Here’s what they say about Cat:  “One thing about Cat. She really thinks about knitting. She's a student of the art of knitting and you really feel this in her class. She's incredibly patient and answers every question. She teaches the class in a variety of ways from talking & demonstrating to us as a large group, then breaking us down into smaller groups to show detail and then comes around to every individual to answer questions and see progression. If there is something specific that you want to learn and Cat is teaching it, take the class and you'll leave with a solid understanding and ability.”  Come and spend this special day with us.  $50.00 Potluck
