We Interrupt This Travelogue…
We’re home! We got home Wednesday evening, and I’ve pretty much been in a fog since. The Budapest photos will have to wait a bit, since I don’t have them sorted. I came home with a nasty bug, and have … Continue reading

Spinning & Knitting
The Tour de Fleece is nearly over, and the Ravelympi Ravellenic Games are about to begin! I have been doing a bit of spinning for the Tour. Here you go. The first three photos are closer to the correct color, … Continue reading
Still Life
With spindle… And a closeup of that spindle. I may actually reach my goal of finishing this fiber up by the end of the month. Here’s the handy-dandy drug dealer’s scale (AKA HDDDS) showing how much is left to spin. … Continue reading
January Wrap-Up
Let’s see how I did with my January goals. The first was to blog more. How did I do? Twelve posts! In one month! In December of 2010 I did four posts, in all of 2010 I did fifty-four posts. … Continue reading
Might Be Trouble…
Caught by John’s phone camera earlier tonight while I was plying up a whack of singles. Will seems to be quite interested in the plying process. I’ll report back with how this goes…I’m thinking it might end badly.
A Little Bit of Everything
First up, spinning! Here are all the spindles in Spindle Jail. I finally came up with a way to store my spindles that keeps them safe from nosy cats. I actually had asked John to build me something to hang … Continue reading
Dromedary Drama
I hit another little speed bump on the Tour de Fleece. As I’ve been telling anybody who would listen, I’ve been sick all week. I’m not one to suffer silently; rather, I whine loudly to anyone who will listen. I … Continue reading
Flat Tire!
I was treadling like a madwoman this morning, trying to finish the sock yarn plying. We have an annual boat parade on our lake every July 4th, and it’s become a tradition that a bunch of neighbors and friends show … Continue reading
Tour de Fleece
Well, yeah. I’ve disappeared from the blog again for 2 weeks. I have no excuse. It’s not even nice outside so I could blame it on summer. I think it got all the way up to the mid-60′s today, though … Continue reading
My Pretties…
But first, that FO! This has been in the UFO pile long enough. It’s now done, and I can use it. It’s a linen facecloth. I’m not doing the whole Project Details thing on this one. The yarn is Euroflax … Continue reading
Sunbreak
We’ve had another of those weird spring days here. Cold, pouring rain, grey, and then all of a sudden, bright and sunny. That didn’t last, but it got me outside with the camera to try to get a decent photo … Continue reading
Spinning With Friends
I had a wonderful time last weekend, though I’m just getting around to posting about it. Dorothy (Missouri Star) and her husband Bill came to visit us over the weekend. They live just a few hours from here, though we … Continue reading
Spinning
I don’t have any impressive knitting photos to show today, so you get spinning photos instead. My True Blood Faery sweater is coming along, though slowly. I’ve finished the bottom hem cable, and am almost done with the stocking stitch … Continue reading
Update
Catchy title, eh? What can I say, at least I’m posting. First up, work. I started the new job this past week, and I couldn’t be happier. (Happy, Happy, Happy, that’s the new motto around here.) I think it will … Continue reading
Quickie
No, it’s not what you think. I head down the rabbit hole to work tomorrow morning, so I may or may not get a chance to post in my new blog for a week. So here’s a quickie post. Did … Continue reading
