Thoughts on a stash of yarn

A member of the local weavers' guild passed away recently, and her family is making her yarn stash available to those who want to buy it at a discount.

I like this writer's casual, friendly style and humour. I've read three or four of her books now and they never disappoint, though there isn't always a guaranteed happy ending.

I really enjoyed this book. Brent Preston is realistic about the challenges - physical and emotional - of starting a small organic farm and points out that it isn't all the idealistic running-through-fields-of-daisies life. He talks about marketing a ...more
