Building FGF & Sourcing

Over the last couple of months, it's become more clear what the future of Fuzzzy Green Fibers will hold.

It's been a little over a month since my last project update. I feel like I've done a shitload since then, but it doesn't look like a whole lot in 6 weeks. But in addition to the knitting I've been doing, I've published a Natural Yarn Directory for anyone to use and contribute to, I've … Continue reading Projects on My Needles – July 27, 2018
