Seems that there’s been some problems with the website - off and on since July 1 when the taxes changed in Canada.  So if you are having problems ordering just email me at info(at)indigomoonyarns(dot)com or hit the contact button on the website www.indigomoonyarns.com  and we can go from there.  Seems some people are able to make a purchase whereas for others it says the site is not SSL secure…which it is.

Hope to have it fixed soon but it all depends on my webmaster….he’s usually very hard to get….let’s cross are fingers this time he’s sitting right by the computer with time to spare

A video to start your day…not the best way

“When I despair, I remember that all through
history the ways of truth and love have always
won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and
for a time they can seem invincible, but in the
end they always fall. Think of it–always.” Mahatma Gandhi

Here’s a photo of the studio garden now that the rain has subsided.  It’s a gorgeous summer day!  I know many were fed up with the rain but I was loving it.  Every day it rains is once less day of watering…and the plants way prefer Mother Nature raining on them…well water is a bit cold too.  I can just see them with their heads thrown back and their mouths gaping open catching the rain! 

Since I wasn’t outside I was able to get a few more tea towels on the loom

Not sure if I posted others colours earlier, but I think these are my favorite ones.  In the coming days/weeks I’ll be posting some ttowels on the website…just in case you are interested in purchasing some!  cheers

Here is a wonderful clip of the walk to save wild salmon which culminated in Victoria on Mother’s Day.

The major news channels chose to ignore or downplay this immense rally.  We”ll see who wins - big money or Canadians.

Thought I would try to post some of the patterns now available for Indigo Moon yarns.  Chatelaine (pictured above) takes 1 skein of the Pur Silk.  The scarf above was knit up in the Olivine colourway.

I received this excerpt in an email today.  I was initally only going to post about the Frolic countdown…however…..the deep oil disaster is going to change life in this part of the world drastically.   And not in a good way.  Those of you that really know me, know that I’m not surprised by what has happened.  This excerpt puts things into perspective a lpt more clearly:

First fact, the original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they’re saying 200,000 gallons a day. That’s over a million gallons of crude oil a week!
I’m an engineer with 25 years of experience. I’ve worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that’s why this mess is so clear to me.
First, the BP platform was drilling for what they call deep oil. They go out where the ocean is about 5,000 feet deep and drill another 30,000 feet into the crust of the earth. This is right on the edge of what human technology can do. Well, this time they hit a pocket of oil at such high pressure that it burst all of their safety valves all the way up to the drilling rig and then caused the rig to explode and sink. Take a moment to grasp the import of that. The pressure behind this oil is so high that it destroyed the maximum effort of human science to contain it.
When the rig sank it flipped over and landed on top of the drill hole some 5,000 feet under the ocean.
Now they’ve got a hole in the ocean floor, 5,000 feet down with a wrecked oil drilling rig sitting on top of is spewing 200,000 barrels of oil a day into the ocean. Take a moment and consider that, will you!
First they have to get the oil rig off the hole to get at it in order to try to cap it. Do you know the level of effort it will take to move that wrecked oil rig, sitting under 5,000 feet of water? That operation alone would take years and hundreds of millions to accomplish. Then, how do you cap that hole in the muddy ocean floor? There just is no way. No way.
The only piece of human technology that might address this is a nuclear bomb. I’m not kidding. If they put a nuke down there in the right spot it might seal up the hole. Nothing short of that will work.
If we can’t cap that hole that oil is going to destroy the oceans of the world. It only takes one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to wildlife. Are you starting to get the magnitude of this?
We’re so used to our politicians creating false crises to forward their criminal agendas that we aren’t recognizing that we’re staring straight into possibly the greatest disaster mankind will ever see. Imagine what happens if that oil keeps flowing until it destroys all life in the oceans of this planet. Who knows how big of a reservoir of oil is down there.
Not to mention that the oceans are critical to maintaining the proper oxygen level in the atmosphere for human life.
We’re humped. Unless God steps in and fixes this. No human can. You can be sure of that.

You’ve all probably heard about the spill.

Here’s a clip that lists (and shows beautiful photos) of the 10 marine animals most at risk.  Do you think that this time the world will wake up and rapidly move towards non-fossil fuel alternatives….probably not:(  …..will the worold ever learn!

The new name is Pur silk and it’s exquisite!

Each skein is 100gm of pure spun mulberry silk that I hand dyed in some fun (for me) colourways.

Click on http://www.indigomoonyarns.com/index.php?cPath=36_21 and look for the silk labelled *NEW*.  Stock is limited so pop in soon.

Cheers
