Yesterday I made a day of warping my loom.  This is some rayon chenille that I got a long time ago off Ebay that was a little difficult to warp.  I had a couple threads snap and while that wasn’t hard to fix, it was really time consuming and annoying. The end result is totally worth it.&...

It’s here!  UPS dropped off my new toy this afternoon and I immediately got to work putting it together.  If things had gone as planned there would be a few pictures of that process but it got cloudy and all my pictures came out blurry. So we skip ahead and we have a fully assembled 32â€...

I know this is kind of a dorky thing, but today is Sally’s third birthday.  Yeah, I’m one of those weird people who treats their dog like a kid but, at least, I don’t dress her up (she does wear a sweater when it’s really cold because she freezes) or drag her around with me (she gets ca...

I’ve been up since 7:30am and I’ve barely sat down today.  It actually feels really good to be so busy today.  The first thing I did was dye a big bunch of roving.  This is about a half pound or more of that mixed wool/llama/mohair/whatever that I got at the fiber fair last year, ...

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Fiber Friday so here we go.  First up are some scrappy coils that I spun last Friday but never posted.  This is different wools, Llama, Alpaca, Mohair, Nylon, Soy Silk, I don’t even know what else.  This was a bunch of waste from using my hack...

I’m saving my spinning to blog about tomorrow, so here’s some other stuff.  I’m running out of yarn for my scarf so last night I started the second border.  I think I can block this out to be the right length, so I’m not worried about it being too short.  This yarn is so hard ...

I’ve been in a bit of a funk this month.  I’m having a hard time coming up with things to blog about (besides cookies) and I haven’t really been making anything (except cookies and a lacey scarf that I can’t seem to photograph), so I haven’t bothered blogging.  I’d rather not w...

After twenty-four hours (it’s really humid here) of blocking, my mom’s scarf is finally done.  The ends are even woven in and the tails are cut, there’s nothing left for me to do except give it to her.  I love how this came out.  The yarn is so soft, the cables pop beautifully (...

I had a busy day doing boring non-crafty stuff around the house today and ended up not taking any pictures of my knitting or spinning like I had planned so here’s a cookie recipe.  I made these today, they were very easy and fast and used ingredients that I already had, plus, they’re re...

Today went by fast.  Things are looking better outside, the sun came out for a little while and some of the snow has melted, my road is clear now but the driveway is a sheet of ice, and it’s actually above freezing for the first time this week. I’ve been spending my days knitting on my ...
