Who knew? Well, for many, many years Worcester has had the privilege of hosting a small farm complete with ovines, equines, and . . . swines, as well as poultry, both domestic and wild. Plus, a hothouse, vegetable and fruit gardens all devoutly tended to by Harry Carr for the City of Worcester. Green Hill Park Farm, located in Green Hill Park in Worcester, has FREE admission and I encourage all to visit the farm and see the flora and fauna, and the lovely view from atop the very Green Hill.
The Farm will be the host of the upcoming Sheep to Shawl, Llama to Pajama 2010, slated for Saturday, October 23rd, 12 noon to 4PM. An education celebration of the animals that share their fiber for to make our clothing, the event is a hands-on experience for all ages. Participants include fiber related businesses, nonprofits, and farms from around Worcester County. It's a local, grassroots project spearheaded by Saori Worcester Freestyle Weaving Studio.

Snowy Day In MA (and just about everywhere else!)
Jeric and I made it out for our walk today before the snow really took over. We expect over a foot, maybe more here in Central MA. Jeric's long coat is just perfectly suited for the weather, which also makes it a great source of fiber for my projects. Speaking of which, this is what his fluff looks like as a Navajo-plyed hank, and as a partially completed scarf.(Note the little bit of black detail that came from Marsh . . . a little bit of her to accompany us whenever we will wear it.)
More about Jeric . . . have been lusting to learn to make needle felted animals, and here's my first pass at making a little Jeric with his fluff. I think I need to take a lesson.
Also caught up with the "art yarn" Maile and I experimented with and here it is, ready for knitting up into something small and cute. It was plyed with black Tencel.
Looking forward to an outing on the 24th to Greenwood Hill Farm in Hubbardston with Guild members to view the new Merino lambs and finally take some new PHOTOS. Love fiber projects, but need sheep contact.
