Found one

Every so often I go looking for local-to-me fiber arts blogs, mostly from idle curiousity, but also to find out what’s going on in the local fiber community. Today I didn’t have to go looking: if you see something labeled “Happy Valley” in the comments on Crazy Aunt Purl, it’s certain to be fiber arts, and very nearly certain to be in the Penn State area. (I understand there are some imitators who also claim to be “Happy Valley”, but I’m certain they are delusional.) And yes, Knit ‘n’ Bead, quite local and obviously fibery. Plus beads.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
