Well it seems that since I started quilting, my knitting and spinning has slowed to a snail pace. It got even slower now that I’m working on the Farmer’s Wife. So, it’s slow, but not forgotten. I joined Knitspot’s Fall In Color Club and this is the first pattern – Long Shadows. I had [...] The fleeces have arrived! They are just as gorgeous this year, but as you can see I cut back. Only two this year… the little white one is Lucy – a BFL that is just 1.9 pounds. The grayer – and she is more gray than brown this year is 3.5 pounds. That is Dora, [...] My new Bosworth moosie spindle arrived today. It’s gorgeous and spins like a dream. No moose was harmed in the making of this spindle. It’s made from antlers, which they shed naturally and grow anew every year.
[...] What luck! My name came up on a second spindle list and this lovely Bosworth Karelian Birch Midi with a Cochin Rosewood shaft came to live with me. It is a gorgeous, gorgeous spindle and spins like a dream. [...] A gorgeous addition to my spindle collection arrived today. This is a gorgeous Bosworth Thuya Burl Midi. Spins like a dream. [...] This lovely yarn was from 4 ounces of roving that was purchased back at the WI Sheep and Wool. This is from River’s Edge Fiber Arts. It was much brighter before setting the twist. The bleeding was bad with this one. I should’ve gotten the vinegar out earlier. I’m not sure on the size [...] I couldn’t resist spinning up this lovely batt – it’s about 24 to 26 wpi and will be a 2 ply for some socks. It’s called Acorn – perfect for Fall spinning and knitting. Of course all these side projects are not helping with my UFO knit down that my guild is doing. The [...] Well, well…we’ve got a FO to show off today. Love, love, love how this turned out. I have to admit the yarn is still bleeding, but still love it. I started my Citron shawl, but don’t think this is going to work. It just seems a bit too busy. I’m thinking I’m going [...] Without further ado…using the Random.org random number draw – the winner is….Carol@Swallowcliffs. Congratulations Carol! I hope you enjoy the Rhodia Webbie. Now onto some other fun things… the camera was played with this weekend. I learned how to do HDR and here are some of my examples. Then there was Sweet Pea and [...] Poor Max needs a top knot trim. Every groomer we’ve had loves to leave his top knot high. The only problem is it falls over when it gets to long. They have a standing appointment at the groomer every 4-weeks. This time its 5-weeks because they have a dog show to go to, so their [...] |
