    Loved hearing about your new design Noticed it on Ravelry the other day. I am such a fan of leaves that I am tempted to give it a try, even though I seldom wear pullovers.

    It was wonderful to hear about the conservation efffort in Argentina - and even more wonderful to know that wool will be part of the results!

    Thanks so much for turning me on to the work of the Nature Conservancy. I am highly interested in the journey of wool from sheep to skein, and of the cultural, economic and environmental impact on societies/countries. You can check out Clara Parkes' The Great White Bale http://www.clarayarn.com/bale/ for her journey through the American wool industry. The Yarniacs, another podcast, has also been doing a wool series and featuring Deb Robson from the Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook. Your information has been a great addition to my "study" on this topic.

    I fail to think about 'like' the groups whose missions I believe in on Facebook. It really is a good way to keep up with the doings of the groups I care about. Nice that having followed the Nature Conservancy I'll be more up to date on their activities.
