Mirabelle

Posted on April 27, 2011 by

I’m working on a lace scarf.  This is not terribly unusual.  What is unusual is that I am knitting with my own handspun for the first time. Remember Lavender Hedgerow? I’ve decided to knit Mirabelle with it.  It’s a beautifully … Continue reading →

Isn’t this the prettiest roving? I absolutely love it.  I bought it from AlohaBlu on Etsy.  I’m especially pleased about this because she’s one of my readers.  You all should check out her store, it’s filled with pretty things for … Continue reading →

My surprise knitting is coming along well, if slowly.  I still can’t post a proper picture or the pattern I’m using as that could easily give it away… but here’s a look at how it’s coming along. I love how … Continue reading →

Flowerbox – Still Spinning

Posted on March 4, 2011 by

Well, I’m still working on Flowerbox.  It’s going slowly, but at least it’s going.  I’ve had much less free time since starting my new job, and all my crafting has predictably suffered from a lack of time.  Still, everything gets … Continue reading →

Spinning – Flowerbox

Posted on February 11, 2011 by

I’m a part of a fiber club.  This actually caused a bit of confusion the other day as many people thought I meant dietary fiber.  As funny and embarrassing as that was, I meant spinning fiber. The club is NoTwoSnowflakes … Continue reading →

Lavender Hedgerow – Finished!

Posted on February 2, 2011 by

I have to admit, I basically finished this yarn last week.  I had both singles spun up, but was just too lazy to ply them together.  They’ve been sitting on my coffee table needing only the last little bit of … Continue reading →

Spinning – Lavender Hedgerow

Posted on January 22, 2011 by

Finally I am spinning something for myself.  It’s the beautiful Lavender Hedgerow I bought from Greenwood Fiberworks on Etsy. It started life (with me, at least) as this: I love the beautiful colors in this, and that they’re softly muted … Continue reading →

Goals for 2011

Posted on January 4, 2011 by

I didn’t really set myself any goals in 2010.  Not formal ones, anyway.  I had things I hoped to accomplish, some I did and some I didn’t, but I never took the time to make a list or track my … Continue reading →

The Joy of Christmas Spinning

Posted on December 14, 2010 by

I’ve been working on my latest yarn for about two weeks now.  It’s a nice BFL mix from Miss Babs in the Lake Michigan colorway. It didn’t take too long to spin.  I only made one long single with the … Continue reading →
