When being a yarn collector pays off
I think I’ve admitted in the past that I’m a yarn collector. I’ve got the bins of gorgeous yarn to prove it. This week it’s actually paid off. Louise posted on my Facebook wall that there was a new laceweight … Continue reading
Saturday spinning update – 5 down, 1 to go
I was feeling pretty good about my week. I spun the fourth (of 6) batts from the Cupcake Fiber Company. I did some knitting. I even took a couple of hours to spin up another sample from my December Phat … Continue reading

Another languishing project
Last week I showed you my golden Tudor Ruffles scarf in progress. I’ve got something on the needles that’s older and even closer to being finished. I’m going to show it to you now to shame me into finishing it. … Continue reading
Knitters helping the world

Saturday spinning update – ice cream
This week I’ve been trying out a little more work with colour. I started with these two batches of merino from Fleece Artist. The colourway is called “Fleur”, but as I spun I couldn’t help thinking about ice cream: Neapolitan … Continue reading
Golden yarn
The colour gold has played a big part in my fiber-related activities recently. I don’t remember ever being attracted to this colour other than in the last few years. I started by gradually acquiring some shiny yellowy-gold yarns. And then … Continue reading
