My goals for March will seem like a bit of a repeat. Oh well! It is what I need to do right now. I’m not moving mountains, but I am feeling really good about what I’m doing and have been able to accomplish, as well as what I have been able to avoid doing. You [...]

February Goals Update
Well I didn’t do so hot on the goals for February. Here’s where I’m at. Lose 5 more pounds. If I did it last month (with all of the extras/sweets I ate) I should be able to this month! Keep working on the afghan I’m knitting. Finish curtains for M’s room. All I have to [...]

FO: Random Obscurity Scarf
M took the photo for this one, she did pretty good! She also did the photos for my Margo hat. Not bad for a rookie, not that I’m any better – ha! This one is from my handspun, a 50/50 merino/tencel blend from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. The idea came from Spin-Off magazine. The scarf [...]

Slacker
I should at least show you the yarn I finished recently since I can't get it together to show you the 3 sweaters just hanging out, waiting. So here it is. This yarn took me what seems like forever to do, since I took a spinning hiatus for a couple of months. It is some [...]

Sweater goal
I've decided to join the quarterly spin-a-long currently going on in the Spinner's Central group on Ravelry. The goal is to spin yarn for a cabled sweater, I think aran weight, though mine is not quite going to be aran. I've already spun up a small amount, 1 1/2 ounces in a true 3-ply, and [...]

New Yarns
Is that what my last post was titled too?! I guess that's all I've been doing lately with what little spare time I've been able to find these days. I did finish knitting a Christmas stocking for The Kiddo's teacher but didn't take any pictures so you'll have to take me at my word The [...]

New Yarn
I have been spinning again! I made this yarn and I even remembered to take a picture of the fiber before it was all spun up. This is some superwash merino that I dyed myself. I did a 'true' 3 ply yarn and ended up with about 250 yards of a light worsted yarn. I [...]

Trying to be productive, part 1
I've been (s)lacking in a lot of departments around my house lately, which I'll tell you about, but the main subject today is spinning. I wanted to start spinning again. The problem was that I had some very old stuff taking up space on some bobbins and spindles and I felt guilty, so I decided [...]

Quick FOs, New Yarn, and WIPs
Since I hardly post anymore I may as well squeeze as much as I can into one right? And I apologize if I usually visit your blog and I haven't been in a while. I swear I will be better!I'm so overtaken by all of the stuff going on in the horse race known as [...]

Handspun and Fiber Goodies
I’ve been knitting here and there over the past week, but mostly I’ve been spinning. I’ve been organizing my fiber stash and spinning up some stuff that has been calling to me to make it into yarn. I’ve been dyeing up fiber too, 2 pounds this week! I ordered a bunch of stuff from a [...]
