Libations
Lavender Soda (about 2 tablespoons of syrup with 8-10 oz. of soda water)
Lavender Simple Syrup:
– 1 cup sugar (I used turbinado)
– 1 cup water
– 2 tablespoons culinary lavender
Bring everything to a boil, boil gently until the sugar dissolves, turn off the burner and allow the lavender to steep as the mixture cools, about 30 minutes.

I visited Yarnstory in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. I found a few beauties to take home: a few skeins of Shibui linen (sorry I kept calling it hemp!) in “Brick,” Cestari fingering-weight cotton, and a locally dyed skein of 50% silk/50% merino.

Awesome episode lady! Im heading back to listen to all of them from the beginning 🙂
That’s so sweet of you, Sarah! I was just watching an episode of the Homespun House podcast and Molly mentioned you! I thought to myself, “I know a famous person!” Still catching up on your podcast – been watching them totally out of order, but oh well.
