Entrelac might blow

By On March 31, 2007 · 4 Comments

I always think I’m ready to leave town and yet on the day of departure I am still always in frenzy.  Today was supposed to be one of the better departure days …we didn’t leave the house until 6 pm.  Plenty of time to get ready to go, right?  Wrong.  [...]

Isn’t it about time to knit?

By On March 27, 2007 · 3 Comments

Other than my wee socks, I haven’t posted much about knitting lately due to the new interest in the wheel.  However, after finally producing some usable yarn I had to begin knitting with it immediately.  I’ve yet to learn how to estimate yardage on handspun (I only briefly ran through a search on [...]

Alpaca must taste good?

By On March 26, 2007 · 4 Comments

I finally have some handspun yarn to show you that doesn’t make me want to puke.  I’m not sure if it’s the practice or the new fiber but this yarn is by far the best I’ve produced.  It hangs perfectly straight and is not too twisty!  It’s 100% Suri Alpaca that I just [...]

I’m plying

By On March 22, 2007 · 3 Comments

Aren’t y’all tired of looking at cream colored yarn? I sure am! I don’t want to do any dying though until my spinning is much better.  This batch turned out pretty well as far as being the “right” amount of twist (I think).  It’s hanging relatively straight on its own…I just soaked and hung [...]

more spinning fun

By On March 20, 2007 · 2 Comments

Much more spinning practice this weekend and much more sub par yarn.  I finally got sick of the practice wool I have been using and decided it would be ok to use a little of the Henry’s Attic roving  I have for the store.  What a difference!  I’m not sure if it’s that [...]

Behold…the ugliest yarn you will ever see

By On March 17, 2007 · 6 Comments

Let me take you back to January 12, where I proudly displayed the pieces of an Ashford Traveller.  Driven to it by who knows what I finally today have an actual spinning wheel.  I usually don’t mind assembly much but this one was a bit of a challenge.  I really hate it when [...]

What celebrity do you look like?

By On March 16, 2007 · 1 Comment

If you haven’t tried this before it’s pretty entertaining.  Myheritage.com has a facial recognition program and you can use it to find out what celebrity you most resemble.  I did a picture of my sister and I to check it out.  It’s fun to try multiple pictures and see which celebrity comes up more [...]

Missing sock alert

By On March 15, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Well, I did have not one but two tiny socks for your viewing pleasure. However, it appears one has escaped. I’m not sure if it was afraid of going to its new home or if the dogs might have aided and abetted the escapee.  Does Loki look innocent to you?  It’s ok though, I planned [...]

By On March 12, 2007 · 1 Comment

Ahhhh, things posted on youtube.com. Amusing. Poor hookers. Oh, and I would love to meet a group of “sudents”…wouldn’t you?

I was just made aware of a really fun idea! Emily is hosting a wee, tiny sock swap. Go read all about it and then sign up! I enjoyed the last time I made a tiny sock sock and it’s been a while since I’ve made any sock at all so I think [...]
