Oh my goodness but this spinning thing is addictive. I mean, I knew that from before when I was doing it with my drop spindle, but holy mackerel, spinning on a wheel is like freebasing fiber. And now I’m out of fiber*. What to do, what to do… Who’s your favorite fiber pusher dealer? ———————— [...]

…some singles. Spun on my Turkish style drop spindle. Technically, this is not my first handspun. My first attempt was with some merino/silk top I’d gotten a couple of years ago at the CTS&W festival. Apparantly merino/silk is not the best choice for a beginning spinner.

Where’d I go just now?

I hope you all don’t mind that I took a little blogging break. This week has just been a little weird and I’ve been busy with other, non-bloggable stuff. So, I’m back, and hopefully a bit more regularly. And what, you might ask, have I been doing the last few days that I CAN blog [...]

We made the trek up to Massachusetts on Thursday to join in the wedding celebration of my husband’s step-brother and long-time girlfriend companion partner (seriously, what to you call her when they’ve been together nearly 10 years and have a kid? I mean, “partner” just makes them sound like an old lesbian couple, which they [...]

Well, the start of the Summer of Socks 2008 is just around the corner. Let’s see what we have in the ol’ stash, shall we? (View the photo on Flickr to see my notes.) You know, I really have no excuse not to be knitting socks right now. Also, I just realized that there are [...]
