I happened to see this at Sweet Georgia Yarns and had to snatch it up. It is 100% silk in an amazing colorway and it is a whole 1100 yards!! Now I just need to decide what to do with it. Any suggestions?! I was also playing around with my camera trying to do a [...]

My very productive spinning workshop results
I mentioned before that I forgot to charge my camera’s batteries before leaving for the Pacific Northwest, so I only got about 5 pictures of the class before it just died. I will share them anyway, but also direct you to one of the other girls’ flickr set. The sweaters you will see were made [...]

More and More Spinning
I have been spinning my weekend away and have a few things to show. In keeping with the Something Old and Something New themes, I have some of each. The first is something old. I picked up some Optim roving from the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival when I went two years ago – I [...]

Spinning: Something Old and Something New
I finished up some more handspun yarn. This will be filed under the Something Old category. This is the Dew on the Moab Desert colorway. It only took me a day to spin and ply and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. There is a couple hundred yards and it is pretty much [...]

Works in progress and yarn pRon
I thought I’d share my WIPs, since I really don’t have much going on in my fiber life lately. I’ve mostly been working on the Lace Ribbon Scarf. I think I’ve done 7 repeats, and with that you’d think I could have the pattern memorized by now but not so. It is fun to knit, [...]

Goodies!
I wasn’t going to post until tomorrow, but I got something exciting in the mail yesterday and I couldn’t wait to share! I bought this kit when my yarn diet ended and it’s something that I’ve wanted for a while now. It is the Oregon Vest from Virtual Yarns. Can I just say that this [...]

Am I nuts?
I have been so obsessed with spinning lately, I’ve found myself looking all over for cool or new fibers to try and waking up having the first thought in my head be about sitting down to spin. I’ve been thinking about it so much that I’m finding myself reading about drum carders and fleeces – [...]

Yarn first, trip later
I only managed to visit two yarn stores during our trip, but I was able to pick up some good stuff. There is some OnLine cotton blend, the Kaffe Fasset Regia, two colors of Lorna’s Laces, and some Schaeffer Anne which I have never tried before. I even found a ball of Felted Tweed in [...]
