Blogging from the trenches here! The flooding is under control, and we have the green light to move all the non-flooded rescued stuff from the basement into the new house. Now we just have to find time to do that tomorrow and still finish final papers, whee!! We’ll be fine. I’ll just be really glad [...]

So we’ve been a little blog-light here lately, because it’s that time of year. You know, that magical time when the Osborns *always* find themselves finishing the school year AND preparing for sheep and wool AND looking for a new place to live. That time. But we are ready. We are so set. I’ve got my [...] You might be able to tell by the time you finish reading this post, but I’ve spent the last week listening to a book tape with very dry and precise prose. I love books on tape, and when I become particularly absorbed in one, I begin writing as if I can hear the reader voicing [...] I always feel a little bad doing a bunch of “work-y” posts in a row – this blog is primarily a form of self-expression, not a marketing tool. But… it is also a marketing tool. We’ve been working our little tushies off trying to do justice to the new Kirby Meritime yarn, and the fact [...] What do you get when you take a Mondrian, chuck all the blacks and whites, and add some curves? Honestly, I have no idea. But that is what Mum thought of when she gazed upon her new completed design, which we are calling Mondrette! (pattern now available on ravelry; kits with pattern included available on [...] Thanks for yinz’s votes; you definitely helped me narrow down the selection for the tri-color hat I hope to produce shortly. At least, you helped me narrow it down a little. By which I mean almost none… so I did the only reasonable thing one could do; I skeined up all twelve colors and went [...] I have a bag of Kirby Meritime samples – one of each, to be precise. What would you do, if you had a bag of colors sitting by your side, and a paper to avoid writing? You play, of course. My idea: A hat, big and slouchy, with a loud combination of three colors, definitely combining [...] It’s time? It’s time? Did she just say it’s time?! The launching of a brand new yarn is a freakishly exciting thing, especially when you’ve been working on it as long and hard as my dear mother has. If we were a big name brand, we would have a widely published newsletter, a whole team of [...] This is a big one, you guys – a big reveal that we have long been waiting to share with you. Mom has been dyeing her little heart out in the Maryland branch of Osborn Fiber Studio, and now I can show you what’s in store for this spring. During my few years of exposure to [...] ~The next two days’ posts will be a special installment from Mom, the OFS co-yarnie. When you’re giving a Christmas gift to a knitter, it doesn’t have to be a completed project. It can be just a special yarn! And to make it even more special, it can include a pattern designed just for the knitter. Jared [...] |
