I know I've been missing for a long time and I *will* be back eventually, but until then I just have a brief announcement.
Tonight some friends of mine are putting on a benefit auction and performance for the people of Haiti. I spun some yarn for the silent auction:
If you're in Charlottesville, like The Vildish Twist yarn, and want to help with a good cause, please come down and bid!
(I'll also be performing on my hardangerfiddle just around 5pm)
Here's the press release for the evening:
Love 4 Haiti: A spectacular night of art, music, and dance to raise funds for Haitians in need, January 23, 2010
(Charlottesville, VA, USA) - A team of Charlottesville's artists, musicians, and students, with the support of local food and book vendors, are coming together for an art/music benefit event to raise funds for the people of Haiti on Saturday January 23, 2010, at Random Row Books.
Love 4 Haiti will be an evening of music and art offerings from local artisans. A silent auction of art works, gift certificates, and dance lessons will begin at 5pm.

Pretty! Love the single, especially.
I bought some wool from you a few years ago. I stop by your blog every now and then to see if you've made any posts but you haven't. Sure hope life is happy for you. I'm "Wiltinrose" on Ravelry. I will have to see if you've made any updates there. Best wishes. Miss your posts!
