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. [...]
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 [...]
Here’s what’s going with me to knit knite
Dad’s Golf Shirt - making progress 2 more inches and I’ll split for the placket

2 scarves, yes I did say scarves. [...]
*note: I’m being lazy and really didn’t feel like linking anything today.
I finished Clue 2 last night while waiting for pieces Targhee Noah (it’s name is really Noel, but for what ever reason Noah is in my brain and I’m stuck on it now, so it’s been renamed to Noah) to soak, resoak and [...]
I’ve totally lost my mind. I went to sign up for a class on Navajo plying yesterday and look what followed me home.
It’s Noel and it’s Targhee, OMG what possesed me to buy raw wool. There are 67oz there, and I’m slowly working my way through washing it. I may be washing it for the [...]

One modification I did make to this is the top panel, I used my whack and stack ruler to cut angled pieces, [...]

I bought NO yarn, none, nadda, zilch, not even 1 measly little skein of sock yarn, so if you’re looking for yarn p0rn, you won’t get any past the first picture, and that is my hand spun.
Wow, now that it’s all out in the open, I think I got a little carried away, but I had [...]
The challenge has been accepted by all challengers. Mehitabel and KnitDevil are off and knitting, and have been for some time, and when last heard from Mehitabel was working on sleeves and her swatch (she does things a little backwards some times, and has been heard saying “Don’t we all knit most of a [...]
Finally a little bit of breathing room.
As promised a few pics from last weekend.
DH booked us a room with a view. This is the view we woke up to Saturday morning from our window. Across the way from us, seen in the not to distant distances is Surrey BC . Yup [...]
