Updates

There will be a shop update today after 12 noon EDT. There will be lots of MCN and a small selection of lace weight, including a yummy alpaca/silk/cashmere blend. If they get a good response, they’ll become regulars!

my fiddle: a 7/8 size german stradavarius copy

I had my third Irish fiddle lesson today, and although I cringed at every squeak and squawk, my instructor again assured me that I was doing very well. “It’s supposed to be harder than this.” Really? Then how the heck does anyone stick with it?

Actually, I think I know how– because when you’re in love with what an instrument *can* sound like, it makes it worth all of the hours of practice and sounding awful. It does for me, anyway. I can’t speak for my family!

Speaking of fiddles, Jenna has organized a group of wanna be old-time fiddlers who will learn together– Fiddler’s Summer. It promises to be fun, and squeaking and squawking isn’t so bad when you’re not the only one!
