When you make a wildly multi-colored project, like the Lenten KAL, often you end up with lots of leftovers. I always think about how fun it would be to come up with a leftovers project, but rarely do I come up with anything good. But this time, I had some inspiration. Every Sunday morning, when … More Stained Glass
If you haven’t figured it out yet (from my repeating it incessantly), the MD Sheep & Wool festival is a huge opportunity for mum & me at OFS. Thus, it seemed only right and proper to celebrate with a couple of new patterns, which are debuting this week in honor of Sheep & Wool. If … More Little Hat & Long Sweater
We did it! It’s done! Everything that Mom & I promised for sheep & wool is dyed, reskeined, labeled, designed, tested, edited, printed, and packaged. Today mom drops the whole mess off at Cloverhill, and it’s off my shoulders for one lovely week. (The bad news is that I am now out of excuses for … More Coming at MD Sheep & Wool
With the Maryland Sheep & Wool fest coming up in less than two weeks (excuse me while I breathe into a paper bag for a few moments), I’m having to shut down the store for a bit.

Edited to add – I took out the embedded polls; they didn’t work. But the links should both work now. ~Rebecca Interruptions of the scheduled Lenten program may become a regular feature, because things keep coming up that I want to share. This week at least, I need your help! To date, my sock yarn … More Sock Yarn Is a Big Decision
It’s time? It’s time? Did she just say it’s time?! The day has finally come for Osborn Fiber Studio to unveil our first manufactured-base worsted-weight yarn. We’re super-excited, and hope you catch the infection for soft, brilliant, natural fibers in natural dye. It is named, in part, after the wool-loving pup that is the mascot … More Kirby Woolpaca
Osborn Fiber Studio is growing…. a new dyer, new yarns, new bases, new suppliers, new patterns, and a ton of things that exist only in the form of spreadsheets and emails being passed furtively back and forth between Mom and myself. To fit with these changes, I am closing the OFS etsy store and moving … More Handmade with HTML
Edited to take out all my redundant copy-pasting… oops! Forgive my frickasee-ed brain. Okay, two more things to cover in general announcements about the KAL, then I promise we’ll get back to the pretty knitty pictures. The first thing is about the flat world we live in.
