I finally met the amazing Katie Lane, who shared some of her homemade granola with me. Let me tell you, that stuff is Ah-Maze-Ing. Yum. Anyone who shares their granola is okay by me. Katie and Shari and I had a terrific two days, contacting storefronts who sell the Townsend Cutter and getting them the info about the new Bee Line Townsend Cutter. It was great getting to "meet" some of you!
Here is a picture of the new Bee Line Townsend Cutter, or as I like to call it "The BLT":
Wool, meet the BLT. BLT, cut the wool.
As you can see, the new cutter is black instead of chrome, but otherwise it is just the same. Katie brought her cutter and a #8, and she used a new #8 in her cutter and an old #8 in the new cutter, and it was all cutting like butter. We were really pleased.
Here is some increadibly gorgeous dyed wool Katie brought that we ran through the new cutter. The picture does it no justice at all, that wool was beautiful.
I joked with Katie that I am the Luke Skywalker to her Yoda.
If Yoda was really pretty and made great granola.
My time with Katie was too short - she is such a wealth of information! She returned home yesterday after two days together, but I'm looking forward to her return, as she is going to show me some rug hooking tips to get me started on my Rookie Hooker journey! She had a lovely rabbit design started by Sharon Townsend with her, only the head was done and I think she said the wool was cut with a #4. Just lovely. I can't wait to get started, but I have no illusions that my projects are going to look ANYTHING like that rabbit head for a long time.
