Lovely fibre fiddlers make the world go around

Q: What does this world need?
A: More people that spend time fiddling with fibre and wrapping the world in their yarn loveliness.

I contacted crocheting glamourpuss Amy Lamé
on her London show. (Yeah, Danny Baker says it's his, but we all know Amy's satin ribbon hairbands hold it together) to chat about some of the crochet projects I'm involved in.

AND WOW, LADY! Does she have a fabulous project of her own, happening?

Step up, Pom Pom International!

A movement to create the biggest pom pom in the world and use it to promote peace love and understanding.
Ahhhh, pom pom fuzziness. Tell me that it doesn't draw you in like a small child, fluffing the soft fibres against your cheek and nuzzling into it.

Amy's initiative invites you to create your own pom pom and send it to be joined into the giant ball of LURVE.
Pure genius.

I've decided to make my own pom pom for the project out of yarn I've spun myself.

Mrs Moon and I carded it from merino, local wool, angelina and the most beautiful, ethically-traded silk sari waste

and banana fibre, bought from ethnic crafts. This is Anees' bulk buy site, but I found him through ebay where he sells smaller amounts.

Other WIP:

My fibre studio is being refurbished and I can't get in there at the moment - beyond frustrating - but I'm working on more stuff for the IFF (check out the page they've put up about me).

My nipple for the nipple project.

The GIANT reef panel I'm making for the gas station project in Syracuse.

How could I be happier? A wonderful husband (He's always top of my list) and a world filled with pom poms, nipples and coral.

Fibre bliss.
