For some reason I got a crazy idea and joined the Ravelympics. I’m in the Fleece to FO Track. I’d been wanting to spin for another pair of socks and (a) it was a good time to motivate me to do this and (b) I thought this would be fun for my Silly Sock Swap. [...]

I know…these titles. Sometimes I’m at a complete loss for a decent title. I meant to post these this week, but I have two work projects now and a bunch of things going on like my Fundamentals in Fiction class, which is going really well and I got some awesome feedback from my instructor this [...] We had a beautiful Saturday today and I managed to get out to the Rock ‘n Knitter’s group knitting group.

Thank goodness I had been doing backup’s nightly and had the old version. I put the old version back on, restored, and then found an awesome plugin [...] So one of the good things about being out at The Fold several days this past week, I got to browse all of the new goodies that are there. I picked out a beautiful new Charis spindle in leopard wood. Of course you need lovely merino silk to spin on a beautiful new spindle. It’s gorgeous [...] We’ve all had it happen. We look at a ball of yarn and make a decision and declare it will be this, only to find out the yarn wants to be something entirely different. This is what happened with some yarn I spun over the holidays. The Meret beret got frogged and now it’s becoming [...]  |
