Multimedia: Dyestuff, Ravelry, and Parasols

Dyeing enthusiasts: The Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery at the University of Nebraska has a new exhibit, Unfurled: Expressive Cloth, for which one of the participating artists had recorded a podcast.

Knitters and crochet fans: Do you know about Ravelry.com? It's a community for sharing patterns, pictures of your work, tracking your fiber stash, etc!! It's still in a beta mode, so you have to sign up to be invited, but so far it looks like a wonderful resource and a great creative community for fiber artists!

And, my parasol book is so very close to being done! I got the final images back from the photographer today and wanted to share one teaser picture; he did some amazing work for me!
