I usually go, but I walk. When I go, I usually go by myself. Will you have a team? If so, how can I join and where could I find more specifics?<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>/RochelleYosemitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03799690313829598131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112978.post-1180401279336081532007-05-31T03:00:00.000-04:002007-05-31T03:00:00.000-04:00You've been a baaad influence, Amy! I spent a good chunk of my afternoon in the local rock-and-gem-and-silver shop, looking at expensive cabs (drool), affordable-but-less-lovely beads (weep)... and I wound up buying a couple glass lumps, a teeny piece of tile, and some wire.. then headed off to Button Button, a Vancouver mecca of unique buttonage, and I snagged a couple vintage buttons that I am going to bezel-set into a ring for myself!<BR/> <BR/>(your blue stuff is quite nice, though, and I thought of you every time I looked at it in the store!)Christa Gileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15894509500416347034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112978.post-87562956230308635782007-05-30T22:54:00.000-04:002007-05-30T22:54:00.000-04:00Hey there Amy! I'm a few posts behind...but I noticed your seasilk post - I just finished a stole design (you can see it here: http://gbellaknits.blogspot.com/2007/05/catalina-shawl-pattern.html) knitted up in Handmaiden LACE silk - another one of their amazing amazing yarn lines - gorgeous drape. For real, this yarn totally made me think of you and your no-sheepiness - you must try it. The best selection of colors, I think, is at www.colorsongyarn.com ~gabriella :)gabriellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329630099129219843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112978.post-1861693129932520352007-05-30T13:07:00.000-04:002007-05-30T13:07:00.000-04:00Off topic: Have you seen this vendor? http://www.hollyeqq.com/index.html <BR/><BR/>She sells hand-dyed non-wool rovings, including tencel, bamboo, and silk. <BR/><BR/>I am not her nor do I work for her. Just another non-wool spinner. There aren't very many sources for non-wool hand-dyed rovings out there, so I thought I'd pass along the link.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112978.post-1356848221073859892007-05-30T09:59:00.000-04:002007-05-30T09:59:00.000-04:00Bezels always start out that way. Wait until you start working with pierced bezels and you've got sharpie all over the out side with drill bevels everywhere; that's when you start to wonder if it'll turn out like you planned. I love watching bezels transform into gleaming little pieces of perfection. That Chalcedony is really pretty, you might like it's druzy form as well. All sparkely milky blue. :)<BR/><BR/>cheers, and can't wait to see the final piece!Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12819865609102421765noreply@blogger.com
