Look at this darling kangaroo given to me today by Karen, the store manager at Webs. Isn't she adorable? I am glad she was there to keep me company at the book launch at Webs. Great company, great food and drink, and most of all a very grateful and humbled kangaroodyer. How can I thank everyone for the love and support in making the book Hand Dyeing Yarn and Fleece a reality? It is a Webs book, all but one of the patterns are from Webs staff, the only other by Barbara Giguere of Shelburne, a beautiful pair of kangaroo mittens. Two knitters, Bonnie Lemme and Gwen Steege, knit scarves for the book.I love you all. Gail

What a wonderful launch! It was such a fun event, from your introduction of all of the people who supported the creation of the book, to the champagne toast, to your story about becoming a dyer, to Kathy's demo...Mostly, though, what I was struck by was all the love in the room.

I ordered your book after Kristin Nichols mentioned it in her blog. IT IT WONDERFUL! I am a new dyer, well, soon-to-be-new-dyer and am so inspired by your book. I love the fact that you tell me how to set up my 'studio' and how to get started. I am in the process in gathering supplies and can't wait to start.

Congratulations! I'm counting on you to turn me into a real dyeing expert.
Congratulations on your new book Gail! Everything I've heard about it makes it sound wonderful. I haven't thought much about dyeing myself (as there are so many excellent indie dyers like yourself) but I hear you make it sound both irresistible and do-able.
Can you liken the birthing of a book to the birthing of lambs?
Great book! The colors are beautiful.
Hope yesterday's event went as well! Both were great fun. Love the new color way names! Happy SPring!
This book looks amazing! Congratulations and best wishes on your next project! I'm really looking forward to reading and using this. --Julia (who just discovered your blog)

Congratulations!!!
Dying to learn how to dye fleece and yarn! Looks like a great book to learn! Thanks
Congratulations on the new book! Have been a fan of your yarn for several years (purchased it at Webs) and would love to try my hand at dying. Can't wait to see the book!
Congratulations on your new book! I am new to dying fiber but I've made paper dying it with onion skins, grass, beets, and most anything that grows!
