One Crazy Fiber Lady

Some might have noticed that I haven’t had any socks on the needles for a while now.   The last pair had been finished on 5/23.  I went for THREE weeks without knitting any socks.  That’s not a big deal for some knitters.  But I’m a sock and lace knitter.  Sure, I’ve got a bit of […]

As many have probably figured out already, I’m never really idle… never have been except that first year of being a new mother.  Having twins single handed made me so very tired that for the first time in my life, I could actually sit still and do absolutely nothing for more than a minute without […]

Looking out the window now it is hard to remember how nice yesterday was.  Actually it was a pretty darn decent weekend all around. I had a lovely mother’s day, spendning most of it outside with the kids playing and Ladybug keeping me company. 

I finished the spinning the Still River Mill Mystery Bump singles, as […]

It has been a very crazy week at Chez CFL.  This weekend was hands down a blast.  I had a fabulous time with Jessica, who is as always, a fabo festival buddy.  She has an excellent write up of our weekend.  Heck, I’ve already posted all the photos I took.  Sadly, the only camera I […]

Jessica and I decided to take advantage of the varying sized cylinders we each have for our NZAKs and […]

Well even if it isn’t Wednesday, I think this will be a very random posting.
1.  Alex is still sick.  Tuesday he spent the day fever free.  Yay.  This meant he could go to school on Wednesday and I could go back to the office.  It happened.  Then yesterday he woke up, kinda whiney but cool.  […]

Some called me out on it yesterday, yes there are two CSM’s.  Long story that I’ll eventually share, but suffice it to say I am weak and bought two of them.  The first purchase was in fact the eBay find, “no-name” as it isn’t labeled in any way.
I knew buying one on eBay was a […]

But a good cranky lady.  I cranked ye old CSM again last night and churned out another pair of socks.  This time in Duet Skinny - Sailor Girl colorway if I remember correctly.

I do a couple at a time separated by waste yarn.  These socks are a mock rib done on the 72 cylinder over […]

Well, its more like a weekly update at this point.   I know it is either feast or famine when it comes to my posting.  I do apologize for that.   I write a lot of posts.  In my head at least.   I snap lots of photos and eventually connect the camera to one of the many […]
