Micro-Blogging

Oops! I have not thought about this blog much lately. With 2 to 3 client projects running at any given time, all I’ve been doing is micro-blogging. You know, like twitter, Plurk, etc. It’s just so very easy to update with a quick sentence or two. I don’t even need to open a browser to [...]

I Am So In Love…

…with these spindles that I received in the mail today!

These are Coin Spindles from Dragonfly Farm (think Alden Amos, author of the “Big Book of Handspinning“, and Stephenie Gaustad). It’s really hard to describe the feeling I got when test-spinning each one of these. So well-balanced, so smooth, felt so right. I am [...]

More Photos of Kate’s English Garden Angel

Yes, that’s the name I gave to the yarn that I am spinning now on Ravelry. It’s quite light and airy. I am pretty happy with the result. I just have to duplicate it for the other half of the fiber. Oy! There will be four more hours of plying. I must remember not to [...]

Sorry that I have to be very, very vague. Don’t think that Spin-Off would appreciate any info leaked out on issues not yet published. What I am [...]

GLASG Meeting July 2008

July meeting was great! I didn’t do any knitting or spinning. As it turned out, I was high (or low) on paint fumes from helping our new roomy paint her room. (Love the new color!) I was just chilling and chatting with people the whole time.

Happenings

Hi all! A few things to update you on. CB is in the hospital. Nothing to worry about at the moment. He hasn’t been feeling well for a couple of weeks. He started having difficulty breathing last week, causing headaches and fatigue. He finally was willing to go to the doctor yesterday morning. The doc [...]

May Guild Meeting

May’s GLASG meeting was another fun-filled and informative one. It was good to get out of the house and stop thinking (worrying) about what’s happening in the family. Too bad the Jills weren’t there.
The highlight of the meeting was Janel’s lecture on dyeing and color theory. She is a chemist, and she brought to us [...]
