The Recent Yarn Haul
Having been under cat-influenced rest, I’m feeling much better. Still a good amount of soreness, but, for sure, on it’s way out.
This is the why I couldn’t leave the house for a couple of days:
Yeah, he threw himself in front of the door so I couldn’t leave. He wouldn’t even make eye contact. Nothing. He [...]
The Doctor is Out. REALLY, REALLY Out!
Wow, I’m still alive. Still in pain, but alive. Back pain is a pain in the rear. The only thing I can do is take aspirin, take it easy, and let time do it’s thing. Dr. Dusty has been working tirelessly to keep me entertained, and the good Nurse Lulu has been keeping my spot [...]
My Bad – My Back
Hey! I’m at a bit of a loss for words at the moment. Nothing much going on here the last week or so. I’ve pulled some muscles in my back over the weekend, and that makes warping a loom UN-bearable. Posting should resume shortly.

Who Wants Pie?
The other day, after spinning up all the lemony yellow silk merino handspun yarn, I was craving a lemon meringue pie in the worst way.
The first thing was to make the topping so it would have time to chill before applying it to the top. I don’t really know why I do it that way, [...]

Emerald HandSpun Yarn
Recently, I’ve been on a spinning frenzy of sorts. After reevaluating my stash, I came to realize that I’ve got a lot of darker jewel tones. Not much in the way of contrast. A few weeks ago, I did a major dye-athon and came up with some colors to fill in the gaps and give [...]
Mystery Weave
With both looms set up, I’m still on a kick to clear out the ol’ stash. Time to turn attention to the handspun. Specifically, handspun I did NOT dye myself. It’s tie to clear out stash handspun I made from other folk’s dyeing endeavors.
Last January, I made a wonderful scarf (which I wear a lot), [...]
Summer Pearl HandSpun Yarn
This was an interesting yarn to spin. One ply was spun up using a blend of 50% silk and 50% merino wool. The other ply was spun using 100% merino wool. That makes it a 75% merino wool, 25% silk. The 50/50 strand has a high shine as compared to the matte finish of the [...]
