To Stacey at http://dorannes.com/ : Yes, the Wordless Wednesday picture is a wine cellar at a vineyard in Montepulciano, Italy. The cellars, old barrels, wine shop and restaurant are so aged and romantic that it almost seems dream-like now in my memory. The picture below shows a garden in huge pots at the side of the winery. Just look at the rustic stone building! The atmosphere there is like being transported in time.

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I enjoy using different types of fibers and yarns. Wool blends are fine, not 100% wool though. Would prefer not to have the "fun fur" type of yarn.
