Sweetie, if you think you've seen the last of us when you pull away this summer, you are oh so wrong. The van that hauled us to fiber festivals all up and down the East coast can be replaced with a rental van, you know. When you least expect it, the SSK regulars are gonna be knockin' on that door, snow or no snow!

BTW, I had to type that because otherwise I was going to cry...

You're so brave. This will be a big change and you "look" so calmed. Congratulations for your strength.

I can't wait to visit! How gorgeous and what a wonderful experience for the kids. Do you think you could pick up some moose mmm-"waste" --- for me? More about that later- and, no ,it's not a spinning thing!

Alaska! now, that is an adventure! I am excited for you - but I will miss seeing you at local events. Luckily, the internet is a beautiful thing in spanning those long distances.

We moved a lot when I was a kid, and I really miss it. We were on that 3 or 4 year cycle. It was a great education for me, as a child. I have lived in Maryland longer than anywhere else, and I definitely have the itch to move.

I wish you the best with the transition period. I will love reading and seeing your photos from Alaska!

We are definitely going to miss you...will the 1-800 number transfer to Cordova (minus the 4 hour time difference?). Oh, and do expect visitors. Joshua will certainly need a Selma fix...not to mention the rest of us with all the other fixes.

We lived in Anchorage for 5 years back in the early '80s. You will find Alaska very fiber friendly. And you will actuallly need to have lots of wool garments. When you have the chance, visit the Musk Ox farm (I believe it may be in Palmer). You will love them! Good luck on your move and you will love Alaska once the culture shock wears off.

My parents lived in Fairbanks for a year and have such fun stories about living there. What a wonderful new adventure! I can't wait to hear about your new surroundings.

Wow! Very exciting news. It looks like a beautiful place, and so cool that they actually have a yarn store! Best of luck with the move!

Definitely an adventure and more power to you because quite honestly, I would be a little freaked about moving to Alaska with the winters and stuff.

What is more amazing is that there is a yarn store (a real one, since I have none near me and I am not on an island or anything) and the organic produce delivery, which again, just started for me here and again, not an island or anything.

Best of luck to you all and I am seeing lots of cold weather designs in your future :)

What amazing pictures! We're going to miss you so much.

You'll definitely be needing a lot of knitwear and crochet-wear to keep y'all warm!

I am with you on enjoying the periodic moving. I loved getting to know a place well, over a 3 year period. All that moving also afforded me the opportunity to throw away stuff!! It's exciting to plunk oneself down in a new environment with less stuff. It makes you open and ready to acquire new experience !!
