we interupt this lack of posting…

Before our drop spinning class, I was spinning with my Aroma Therapy Ring Spindle made by Thomas Golding, and a few of us got to talking about how cool it would look on a 5-pointed star, you know a little cauldron sitting on top of a 5-pointed star with a brass ring around it.
Well later [...]

Spindle Sprung

I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve last posted, but guess what, I didn’t fall off the face of the planet, and yes I actually remembered to bring my camera.  There has been some knitting, and even an FO, I just need to take a picture of it, but I’m knitting away at [...]

Rose is enjoying Whidbey Island Spin-In

Please forgive the picture quality, it was taken from my phone because I managed to forget to bring a real camera with me, yet again.
Apparently, my new Rose has been off having some fun when I wasn’t looking, she had a baby!!!  now if only I could figure out who the father is?

Let me introduce [...]

I spun and dyed last weekend.

I spun this

Here’s a close up

and another

The fiber is from a Totally Tubular Kit that I bought from The Bellwether, the color: well The Colors Purple of course.  This was a totally fun spin and I whipped through 4 oz in just a few days, in between work, knitting and playing with the new car.  [...]

Hot of the wheel

This is a Superwash Corridale, I started out with about 8 oz, what you are seeing is 6.8 oz, approximately 396 yards, and it’s 3 ply.  Colors are not very true, but it’s late and it’s dark out, to lazy to clear a space near the natural light lamp, it’s pretty much buried deep.  This [...]

Busy busy busy but I have news.

I’m a slacker

My lack of posting has just been pointed out to me, but not much going on around my house.  Working, knitting and spinning.
 Oh yeah and some flooding, not at my house, but in the neigborhood.  As of this morning, there are very limited routes for me to take to get to work.  All alternate routes [...]

and here she is…

This is my 3rd spinning wheel (well ok 5th spinning wheel if you count the Charkha and the first wheel I owned, which has gone on to a good home) and my latest addiction.  It’s a Louet Victoria and when it’s folded up and in it’s bag, it’s about the size of carry on luggage. [...]

Weekend wanderings

There are pictures on my camera, I just need to find the cable to get them off the camera on the computer, so this post will be picture less.
This last weekend Blue Moon Fiber Arts had a destashing sale at Scappoose Creek Inn and well Libby and I decided to take a road trip. So [...]
