Book Yarn, Part I
For the last few days my mailbox has been overflowing with a steady stream of some of my favorite yarns. You see, a week or two ago, I gathered up my courage and sent emails off to the folks who make my favorite yarns. I told them I'm working on [...]
You Spin Me Right Round Baby, Right Round
The fiber show was, rather as expected, full of fluffy goodness. Kinda smelly, but good none the less. While I was there, I realized that I'm not as clear on the difference between sheep and goats as I thought I was. See these guys? I'm pretty sure buddy on the [...]
Heads up…
Just a quick heads up. The latest socks, peregrinate, are up for testing over on ravelry. If you want to volunteer, take a look. I'm picking testers Monday. Tomorrow morning I'm off to the Great Lakes Fiber Show. Last year I came away with quite a haul. I shall try [...]
Itchy
So, after a nearly inexcusable delay, here's the sock from the vicious ripping session shown below. Alas, I fear my photo doesn't do it justice. The ripped bit is over there on the outside of my ankle, and I can't quite manage to get a good picture of the outside [...]
Good Enough to Rip
I hate ripping. Loathe it. I will generally avoid it at all costs. Not this time. These were worth ripping to make them perfect. Yes, it was just one gusset. Yes it was a tiny fix (shifting the location of the line of gusset decreases if you want to know). [...]
Really Good
If you're really good, your needles match your plants. I find it unreasonably amusing. Just playing with this right now, but I think it has potential. Loving the yarn, more about it soon.
Imagine
So I apparently really need to paint my back stairs. Until I do, we'll just have to pretend they make a fetching backdrop for sock pictures. As for the socks themselves, they're not quite this pink in real life. The sun was setting and the light was a bit funny. [...]
Diluvian
Diluvian are ready to go. Alas, it's suddenly turned far too hot for wool socks. I feel somehow cheated. I'm still rather taken with them though, even if I won't be wearing them for a few more months. I never did quite decide if I like them right side out [...]
Futile
Resistance is futile I tell you, futile. I tried. I really did. I gave myself lectures on fiscal responsibility and practicality and not buying things I don't really need and general all around adult type behavior. Then I succumbed to temptation and bought it anyways. How could I not...the awesomeness [...]
Tidings
Two quick bits of news, with more substantive stuff to follow along shortly. First, and quite thrilling, I got a spot in the Silk Retreat just announced by Madam Harlot and Tina of BMFA fame. I predict it will be splendid. There really is no room for doubt. Second, I [...]
