I’m kind of amazed how quickly I flew through spinning up the January 2010 Hello Yarn Fiber Club roving. It arrived in my mailbox on the 11th (I think), I photographed it on the 14th, and then it was on the wheel that night. The yarn was done by the end of the week, finished [...]
I finished up a lot of spinning last week. On Friday, I finished off Night Sky, and it was about time. I started that one back in December, when I thought I’d want more sock yarn for my trip to New York for Christmas. I am totally in love with the resulting yarn.
I am getting [...]
Not knitting, not spinning, but playing Dragon Age on the Xbox. Although the spinning and knitting is slowly working its way back into my things to do. There’s only so many times I can play through Dragon Age, I suppose. I guess that number might be 5.
I did finally finish my Patchwork yarn earlier this [...]
I also think I need to start keeping better notes of my spinning. When sharing the Buckland socks on Ravelry, I received a few questions about how I’d spun the yarn, and it was a real stretch to remember anything more than splitting the wool into thinner pieces for each ply. I didn’t have any [...]
To be fair, I had a really hard time getting nice pictures of this spin in progress. I think that’s enough of an excuse for the lack of blogging action.
I wanted to switch from the brown, natural roving to something a little more colorful and exciting to spin. I’d picked up some more Superwash Merino [...]
I’m a bit behind on my blogging, but I guess that’s nothing new.
Where we last left off, I was still spinning my Norway (or maybe I had just finished it, hmm) from the Hello Yarn Fiber Club. Anyway, that’s been long done. Even finished with a soak in some hot water. Wow! It’s very soft, [...]
Finished the second sock of my Heras last night. Finally. So, that’s the second sock of my second pair of socks for 2009. Hooray. I’m only about a month behind schedule on knitting 12 pairs of socks in 12 months. So, of course, this is the perfect time for me to start time-consuming knee socks. [...]
It’s amazing! I actually stopped playing Rock Band long enough to finish spinning a yarn! Actually, it kind of helped that I was home sick for three days last week. The first two were spent doing my taxes and sleeping, and I spent most of Friday and Saturday working on this yarn.
As I mentioned in [...]
