Saturday spinning update – George
I’ve wondered in the past why George Foreman named all 5 of his boys George. Now that I’m spinning, I think I have an answer. Each skein I finish is beautiful to me. It’s so soft and squishy and lovely … Continue reading
Not dead yet – but back in a few days
Ugh. Friday around noon I started feeling all achy. Then shivering. I’ve been alternating between achy and chilly (before the medicine works) and hot and out of it (when the medicine works). I’ve been too sore and chilled to knit … Continue reading
Saturday Spinning Update – Phat Fiber box!

Hypnos

Although it seems to take a while to spin yarn, this week I found a new way to think about the time. I’m eagerly watching Cookie & Joan in their challenge to knit from handspun in 2011. I saw Cookie’s … Continue reading
The pinkness – another Saturday spinnning update
A while back I was in my LYS with my daughter and she helped me choose something to spin up. It’s in her favourite colours: pink and purple. She’s almost 6, so that’s de rigeur. I wasn’t sure I could … Continue reading

Christmas crap and giving back to the world
I’ve spent a fair bit of time this week putting away what I lovingly refer to as “the Christmas crap” while listening to knitting podcasts. It’s been good. I’m not a total Grinch, I just find that the over-commercialization of … Continue reading
December scarf KAL winners
Thanks to all who participated in the December Scarf KAL. Lots of scarves were knit (including quite a few gifts). My favourite finished object photos were the dog-related ones. Amy (innovadog) posted this picture of Ziv, her two year old … Continue reading

Saturday spinning update
Happy New Year! While my knitting has hit a bit of a lull with the holidays, I’ve still been doing a fair bit of spinning. I finally finished spinning up my 180g of Blue Faced Leicester top (from Louet) and … Continue reading
