"I've always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn. The job is trying to untangle it, and I'll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life. *"
This quote by Karen Allen describes my journey better than I can. I’ve been untangling yarn most of my life and it’s only in the past 10 yrs have I truly embraced the process.
Very soon I’ll be formally introducing our new name, Fibers First by TootsieP. My focus has always been about the fiber! First and foremost, the fiber! For me, it’s my first commitment to you. Fibers First epitomizes my passion about the product I offer you and item you produce using it.
2010 has been an interesting ride so far, with the participation in 13 shows, a new name and now the decision to give my website a facelift. While that’s going on behind the scenes, check out the remaining shows for 2010 & early 2011. I hope to see you at one or more of them.
* Karen Allen, actress. Yes, the same Karen Allen of Indiana Jones, Starman, etc. fame. She’s also a passionate knitter.

Note: You’ll notice that what appears to be an omission in February is in fact, not an omission. Stitches West and Madrona Fiber Arts are two shows that I’ve loved supporting as a vendor. Usually on different weekends in February, in 2011 they conflict with one another for the same weekend. I don’t have the manpower or product to adequately serve my customers at both locations and am faced with a very difficult decision. In the end, I chose to participate in the Madrona show in Tacoma, WA. Stitches West graciously understood my decision and will welcome me back in 2012.
