Spinning, Spinning, 1-2-3
I forgot to take a picture of my spindle, but here is the progress so far with the yarn. From left to right we have a merino silk blend (why I thought this would be a good thing to spin on my first REAL attempt, I will never know), the first attempt with the Icelandic […]
I admit it….
I’ve been holding out on you. Way back when (in June 2005, I think) I took a spinning class. The results and my enthusiasm were less than stellar. Partly, my teacher was someone who had proclaimed herself to be “not good at teaching” and partly becuase I prepared the fiber by myself in a half-assed […]
I meant to post something real today, but I got sort of busy. I had this driving urge to clean off my desk at work and I’m just ITCHING to get home and eat the pork ribs I put in the crockpot this morning and maybe can some pears… or clean the living room… or […]
Green Gable FO
Hey everybody! Guess what I’m wearing RIGHT NOW!? That’s right! Green Gable! I finished it just moments before leaving for SnB, and it’s GREAT! C even likes it and he’s indifferent at best about most of my knits. Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (80% cotton, 20% wool) in Mariner Blue. Pattern: Adapted from Green Gable […]

Gee… that was a downer
Sorry to leave the weekend on such a whiney note. Blame it on the hormones. Anyhow… here is my progress (and I do mean progress) on Green Gable! When you’re used to knitting things only on sizes less than US 3 (3.25mm), with yarn no larger than fingering weight, working on US 6’s (4 mm) […]
Green Gable Woes
So knitting had sort of stalled after I finished those last 2 FO’s and had swatched for my Black Pearl Yarns Design, and the idea of swatching some more and ripping out and swatching again, and doing knitting maths just seemed so onerous. So what’s a girl to do! Cast on for Green Gable, that’s […]
P is for….
Pastry! The pictures are some of the jam tarts I made for our birthday edition of SnB this week. I’ve loved pastry all my life. My mom makes a mean apple pie and I used to “help” by eating the skins of the granny smith apples as she peeled them. As I got older, it […]
Let your abandoned WIP's become ART!
Hey all, my sister is trying to put together a collage on fiber arts. This is what she said about it: This montage I’m making, it’s called “Fiber Art Dreams” and it has four sheep on it, one with wool made out of roving, one made out of yarn, one woven and one embellished being […]
