Yes there really has been spinning going on around here. Opps knitters are having a Halloween KAL, so I thought I’d join the fun. I’m thinking some generic fingerless mitts for this yarn. Eastside Spinners is having a use your handspun SAL/KAL. So I’m killing 2 birds with one stone with this one :).

Curiosity got the best of me and as it happens I have a Fricke Woolee Winder. So I tossed on my pipe to make the bobbin fit, then I tossed on the Woolee Winder (WW) and it didn’t want to work. The flyer was too far from the bobbin for the gears to mesh. I [...]
Look what showed up at my house, yes it really is a picture. No it didn’t show up with a full bobbin, I filled that. What is it you may be asking, it’s a Butterfly e-Spinner. Very fast and Whisper quiet. That bobbin you see sitting on top, well it’s a Woolee Winder Bobbin and [...]
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.

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. [...]
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 [...]
A little over 11 months ago, I took a 1 year contract position, which is due to end at the end of March. Well that contract will be ending just a tad sooner than originally anticipated as I was offered the same position, but as a full time employee, and I’ve accepted, so I’ll be [...]
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 [...]
