I made a February Lady Sweater out of her worsted weight Woodbrook base, and get so many compliments on the yarn and the color! It is obvious that she loves her work, and we are blessed that she is able to be an indie dyer and mom instead of being chained to a desk. I also bought a skein of sock yarn at WS&W, and even though I haven't knit it yet, I haven't been able to put it away because it's just so pretty! Love ya, Dianne!!!

In fact, I'm working on fingerless mitts using her semi solid in worsted (don't know if it's the new base or old - I got it at Stitches East) and I LOVE IT!!! I also have her Luxury sock yarn and some others. I must also say that Dianne is such a nice person. I met her at MFF, hung out with her at Rhinebeck, and got a hug from her at Stitches East! She is such a talent, and thank you Sherri for having her yarns at TLE! I love Dianne and love her yarns.

I've read so many of the limelight from others never thinking I could be one of them. I have read every comment that has been written thus far about my adventurous life and I'm already holding back tears. I am obsessed with my job as an indie dyer and LOVE what I do every day. I want to let each of know that I appreciate each of you who took the time to write and who will be writing in the future.

It's wonderful and horrible all at the same time! Maybe some present yarn for finishing my holiday gifts! You are trying to tempt me with the new DIC yarn!

Made me a bit homesick for my gram. (step gram actually) She was born and raised in Trinidad and came to the states at 18. I remember meeting her when i was 5, i think she thought i was learning impaired for that first year as i couldn't understand half of what she said, such a thick british influenced accent!

Not to mention, it sounds like much of the profit (what's that?) from the business goes right back into it...you know, what with that 300gal tank, and all. Author John Irving got it right, when wrote this great line (for one of his characters) about success: "You've got to get obsessed and STAY obsessed." Let the indy-dyer-wannabe dreamer...be warned. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Dianne, and agree that she is warm, upbeat , tireless, smart...oh, and, um...obsessed. :-) The yarns are breathtaking. Thanks, Dianne! Thanks, Sheri!

Pleasssssseeeeee! Loved the interview, I have never bought Diana's yarn because I was afraid they were going to pool (I hate pooling). Will try it now, colors are beautiful and she deserves all the help in her quest to pay her daughter tuition. About the DIC new yarn, is it possible to do a sneak as soon as it gets there?
