I’d planned to do an update on how my trip to sleeve-island is going (better), but then the cat wanted many snuggles. And for the sake of household peace I could not deny her this thing. So behold instead, a lovely cop of yarn I finished plying earlier this year:… Read More »This Post is a Shameless Cop-Out
Over the Christmas holiday, I pulled out my much-neglected cream colored Angora. This is fluff I started spinning back in October 2018. I can’t remember the last time I touched it, though I have evidence that I was working on it in 2019. I was surprised that after not touching… Read More »5yrs later… the spinning is done
Did you know I own a spinning wheel? I expect a lot of you didn’t. You may have thought I only spin with spindles. And for the last 4 years (FOUR! YEARS!) you were correct… But I actually do own a spinning wheel. It was just in storage from 2018… Read More »Spinning, Just Like Ride a Bicycle
TheEnabler and I needed to head out to California for my Aunt’s memorial service in May. We decided that if we were going to make the trip, that we would head out a few days early and visit some friends in San Francisco before heading down the coast to Los… Read More »San Francisco Visit: Alcatraz and Chinatown
I’ve been knocking out some spinning so far this week. My rainbow gradient is finished (well, aside from a wash), and I think it looks fabulously sunny and summery: I still need to count up the yardage, but I think I’ve got somewhere between 400-500 yards total. At around 200g,… Read More »Flavors of Bright
It’s day three of a heat wave in the land of no A/C, with daytime temps in the mid-90s/mid-30s and at night we don’t reach our low of 70/20-ish until around 4am. I am shutting up the house by 9am each day, and kitties don’t get more than 5min on… Read More »Blarg… so hot
Over the weekend I finished up the last of the singles for my rainbow gradient! I took rather a lot of photos, but I’ve picked out just three for you to admire their colorfulness in their little turtle shapes. I enjoy how, when I flip them over, I can get… Read More »Six Little Turtles
It has been a busy two weeks… and last weekend didn’t get me much of a leg up on this past week. That’s because it was spent getting vaccinated, and recovering from getting vaccinated. My husband and I both had our appointments for our first shots on Saturday. His was… Read More »Whew, still here
It’s been a busy week on a number of front. I’ve had a lot of work meetings, including some later into the evening, so that’s definitely reduced my time for crafting and blogging. I have been able to get a decent amount of spinning done, and I’ll be on the… Read More »Light at the end of the Rainbow
I continue to make progress on my rainbow gradient. Fiber that keeps moving through the colors certainly helps keep things going! I’ve been mixing the transition pieces by hand rather than using any sort of carding or comb to do it. I have such implements, but wouldn’t want to use… Read More »Don’t eat these limes!
