RIBBED HAT, ELLA'S FAVORITY HAT & EASY MITTENS

Kathy & I hope that all had a safe and family filled Thanksgiving holiday. I was anxious to see me niece and nephew since I had knit up a few trinkets for them. They seemed to be excited as well when I mentioned that I had a surprise for both of them. My nephew, Jacob (1 1/2 yrs old) has on the Ribbed Hat and Easy Mittens from 101 One Skein Wonders (slightly modified for size) and my niece, Ellison (3 1/2 yrs old) has on Ella's Favorite Hat and Easy Mittens from 101 One Skein Wonders (slightly modified for size). It is so rewarding to see projects finished and not sitting in my 101 Unfinished Project bags!

BABY GNOME HAT

I was worried that the Baby Gnome Hat that I knit from the 101 One Skein Wonders, was not going to fit my new nephew, Trent. Low and behold it does and is just precious! Trent, thank you for being our GQ model!

Hello Everyone & Welcome to...

Northwoods Fiber Arts, LLC.

Thank you for visiting our blog. We want to make your experience fun and informative. Northwoods Fiber Arts, LLC. was started by Kathy Revak and Lisa Podgornik, co-workers, who had the same vision of getting all the creative people they knew under one roof to share their passion for knitting and crocheting. The store started out as a retail business for the fiber arts. We set up shop in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, a small town located in northwestern Wisconsin. The concept behind the store is to create one spot for a wide array of inspiration and creativity. The name "Northwoods Fiber Arts, LLC.", to us refers to the creativity that runs through all of us. Our vision is to offer products and training in many of the time honored fiber art mediums, to people who otherwise might not have the opportunity to have these skills passed down to them from family members.

The internet is just one more way for us to reach out to many of you who might find yourself living in an area devoid of such undeveloped creative energy as we have here in northern Wisconsin. We want to be your resource for products and hopefully not too far in the future we can provide you with many more products and classes.

If you think you might enjoy a trip to northern Wisconsin, some time in the future, please let us know. We can suggest some local hotels to make your stay relaxing and easy to access Northwoods Fiber Arts, LLC. and other famous attractions in Rusk County.

Some of you might be under too much stress from work and you have been thinking that getting back to working with your hands might be just the trick to get your life back into balance. Email us with your needs and wants. We want to get better at filling your needs, and serving you.

Once again, thank you for visiting, and we hope you return soon! Oh, and please tell a friend about us.
