So for the Spinner’s Book of Yarn Designs book study we’re doing over at Wool n’ Spinning, we’re offering two ways to spin along as we go through the book. You can, of course, go through the book and spin sample by sample. But not everyone is in a sampling place, so we created “Track … More Capstone Sweater: Fiber and Prep
Happy New Year everyone! It’s the first day of a new year, but I’m not quite done looking back yet. You’ve maybe heard of a “Make 9” – an Instagram grid of 9 projects that you plan to make. I didn’t make one of those last year. But looking backwards instead of forwards, I decided … More Made 9 2023
I had one (1) goal for December this year: Keep Christmas simple enough that I could actually enjoy it. For me, I succeeded. There was stress, there was yelling, but much less than usual. There were coping mechanisms, there were screens, but there was not as much angst about it. We prepared the way for … More December 2023 Round-Up: Christmas Blast
After yesterday’s one-week impulse project, the other finished project I have to share with you was a long-term project! Very long-term, as it turns out. The story of this item begins in 2010, when I was working for a yarn shop in Maryland called Cloverhill Yarns. The shop had a prime booth at the Maryland … More Attuned
I keep expecting some part of this fall to drag, and it keeps not happening. I can’t believe it’s December already. It honestly doesn’t feel like much of anything is happening all month; I stay at home most of the time and the days start to blur together. So let me take a moment to … More November 2023 Round-Up: Suddenly Winter
This is an addendum to all the posts from this summer – I have finally finished knitting all the dye samples into hexies. The best way to learn about your handspun is always by using it, so this is the real completion of the dyeing experiments. Rather than amend those colourway posts, I’m going to … More Dyeapalooza: Dye Sample Hexies
It’s October 5 and I haven’t posted a roundup yet! The more I make videos and post on Instagram, the less I feel driven to post here. But this is the one corner of the internet that’s really mine, so I shall keep on keeping on here at my own pace. Tea September was really … More September 2023 Round-Up: Belated
It’s halfway through September, and I’ve been beavering away at a lot of things. I’ve got a new job I’m figure out, a current job I’m trying to workflow better, a secret project that is getting more serious, and a side hustle that is wrapping up. If that sounds like a ton of work, it … More 15-a-day
I am not going to try to sum up our five-week vacation in one blog post. That would be crazytown. We’ve been back home for two and a half weeks, and being deep into forming new school and work routines, it’s already hard to remember what vacation was like. It was hot, it was green, … More Summer 2023 Round-Up: South and Home
Today the men arrived at the Champs-Élysées, and the women took off for their first stage. Jared and I are taking a few days of our vacation to get away, just the two of us, so I wrapped up my men’s Tour spinning last night. There’s still another week of biking, and I’m feeling kind … More I Claim My Yellow
