One Crazy Fiber Lady

It has been ages since I posted regularly.  I’ve mentioned this is the past that the longer I go without posting, the more I want to write, the more time is necessary to write it and as a result, the less likely that an actual post is going to happen.  This morning on the train […]

Well I’m now officially back from vacation. I have a ton up pictures to upload and I need to organize the 10 days out of the office into some coherent post. But I haven’t blogged in a while and didn’t want to wait any longer. I suspected I might get a few “are you okay” […]

Borrowing a much used theme for a Wednesday, I have a bunch of random unrelated stuff to relate, though I’m not entirely sure how that differs from any of my other posts
1.  Knittin stuff:

How I’ve been spending my commute.  I’ve completed the first 62 row repeat for the center square, only 300 more […]

The stitches in Wedding Ring Shawl are downright teeny tiny.  The stretchy merino yarn makes them easier to do, but I’m finding a new to wear the relatively recently acquired reading glasses to knit.  Okay so I need them for threading the quilting needle and doing the beading as well.  The eyes really do go […]

Judging from all the comments I got, my boy is a perfectly normal energetic boy who will keep me on my toes for years to come. I try to let him be, and think of ways to expend the energy. The backyard with the swingset and various other bits and bobs is pretty […]

If Tuesday is for Twirling, Wednesday is for WIPs.. lets break em out.  

First up is Kat’s Amore.  I’ve made some decent progress on the first sleeve.  I haven’t exactly been a monogamous knitter with this, which explains why it isn’t finished yet.  I’m guilty of reading on the train again.  I’m still deep in […]

..ew, not that horrible yarn, that dreaded ass-crylic (thanks Kim for that name!).  No, this is much better yarn.  This is my handspun.  The first handspun off the new Ladybug too.
I haven’t yet measured the yardage in these two huge skeins of yarn so no, I haven’t a clue what I’ve got.  One ply is […]

…another repeat!  Make that two, two glorious diamonds tall already.  Two down, 17 more to go and I’m halfway through one now.  I’d be further, maybe, but I had to stand on the crowded ferry this morning!  (We had the little dinghy boat and while I could have waited for the next one, I opted […]

..but I’ve already declared it Summer:  my summer of madness lace (and sanity socks).
I thank everyone for their feedback on my quandry.  After work on Friday, I did some swatching with the Habu Silk.  I can’t say as I really enjoyed it.  It was slippery (go figure) and because of the dark color, I couldn’t […]

I feel an inexorable pull towards lace projects now, especially with the warmer weather upon us.  I have zero desire to sit with a big pile o’wool in my lap, even with the A/C on as it has been the last few nights at home.  I think the remaining sweaters in my WIP pile (Ballerina, […]
