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 […]

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 […]

Since yesterday was officially Twirling Tuesday, I pulled out a spinning wheel (or two) to use.  I spun a bit more of the blue-green merino on the Ladybug, but then moved to the recently neglected Matchless and the red mix that I bought from Little Barn at MD.  
I think I need a solid navy […]

..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.

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.

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 […]

I figured I’d spare you all another picture of just one more repeat of the lace. Other than the bore factor of seeing minor progress, there’s the little fact that I’m off my one repeat a day pace. First on Monday morning, I did the same pattern row twice. Too busy […]

I’ve been making progress on my Not-so-blue Boatneck Bluebell. It has made for decent train knitting as it is still small and not particularly brain intensive at the moment. I’ve found I can read while I’m knitting it. What am I reading now?: Screamfree Parenting: The Revolutionary Approach to Raising Your […]

The last couple of days have just been superb. In no particular order:
1. Alex is better, thank you everyone for your well wishes. His fever seemed to have broken sometime Thursday night. He was fine for the weekend (typical) and even went to school today. He was beat by the […]
