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.  [...]

There’s a Llama in my trunk

Sorry no pics, it’s still in the trunk.  Last night I went to the first spinning class, meeting once a week for three weeks, and a llama fleece followed me home.

Weekend Wanderings

This last weekend found me, Libby and MHP jumping on a ferry and taking a little ride out to meet Sachi, who found this little fiber thing going on, that’s where we saw the sheep shorn. So Libby, MHP and I jumped on the Walla Walla and took a very quick 30 minute ferry ride [...]

Belated Weekend and Wed What’s in the works.

 Last Saturday, Libby, Christina, Christina’s Grandma (Sorry Grandma, I didn’t get a pic of you, but your pink afghan managed to sneak a toe in) and Libby’s son MHP, all met at Village Yarn and Tea to do some knitting, and even better I remembered not only to bring a camera, but to actually use [...]

The colorway is Berry Basket and it’s superwash Merino hand dyed by our own Sachi. She’s posted some pics from our weekend BBQ, so go ahead and check them out.

Black Sheep Haul - Absolutely NO Yarn was bought.

Wow, now that it’s all out in the open, I think I got a little carried away, but I had [...]

Last Weekend

Let’s start with Friday’s visit from the UPS guy. He brought me a box from Knit Happens and look what was in that box.
Some Jade Company Mongolian Cashmere in a lovely lilac ( 6 skeins to be exact) and some Touch Me in “Burgundy Cream”, it really does look that purple in person (5 [...]
