Another batt down…

I finished my “Chocolate Sensations” batt last week. It’s still sitting on the spindle where I can admire just how much fiber I crammed onto the spindle: I’m not sure I’m a fan of the fire-star. It was annoying to spin with, tried to fly everywhere, and left a bit… Read More »Another batt down…

Twice the EmPowerment

I finished my EmPower People bandana last Friday: TheEnabler really liked it. He thinks it looks nice on me, but he also felt he would look rather good in one as well. Happily, it took less than half my skein of yarn, so I picked my crochet hook back up… Read More »Twice the EmPowerment

Two down, two to go

Whoops

First, a mea culpa about the website. I tried to make something better, but I broke it instead. That’s on me. I’ll do my best not to do that again. Or at least… I’ll try to keep future down time to under a day. I can’t in good faith promise… Read More »Whoops

Look look look!

I am almost done with spinning my “Ocean Rain” fiber! I was actually super duper prompt about taking my four little turtles of singles and winding them on my ball winder into two ply balls – each with two plies. I did this last Saturday, and a week later I’m… Read More »Look look look!
