  1. Is that on your property, your walk? That is amazingly fast regrowth. I like your fiber blend while it’s still stripey. What would that look like as a yarn? You are so talented, you should share your skill with the world by acting as a consultant. Cascade Yarns and Sweet Georgia are in the west. Who else? The world is your mollusk.

    • Terry, thank you for the vote of confidence, you’re the greatest! The photo is of the ridge trail above our house a ways, towards the peak, which I walked often. I’m afraid I’ll be tapping into the archives for a time, for those manzanita were in an area which burned away, very very sadly, and I dare not post a photo of that. However, there are some pink blooming manzanita on our property , and which did not burn by a miracle! I can and will photograph those. xx

I'd love to hear what you have to say...
