    Reference Woohoo! Look what arrived on Wednesday! The fleece that I bought from Triple R Farms at MSWF arrived. Ain’t it purdy! As you might have suspected, I have already started spinning it. Being that it was over a six pound Romney fleece (though it may be less six now after processing), I have plenty to…

    Reference Well, as you might have suspected, I did go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival the other week. It was a hot one, too. I can’t remember it being that warm (up to 90 degrees) at the festival. Fortunately, this year, Columbia Sip and Knit had a hospitality “suite” just outside the entrance…

    Reference I have been a good boy lately. (I am strictly talking about being a good knitting boy here. I know it doesn’t seem like I have been much of a good boy if you are judging by the frequency that I update this blog and comment on other blogs. After staring at computers all day for…

    Reference Yeah! The first sock is done. Sexy pose, no? Crappy photography, no? I do love the sock, though I am still not sure if I picked the right stitch pattern for the colorway (Winter Twilight). It is a fun knit, and that is what matters the most to me right now. And do I…

    Reference Just so you don’t go thinking our trip to P-town was just a maddening re-creation of Plane, Trains, & Automobiles, subbing Busses for Trains, here are the photos from the whale watching tour we went on. Here are some recommendations we can make if you go to P-town: Stay – Crowne Pointe Inn thanks,…

    Reference This has been a pretty productive two weeks for me, even though I only have one thing to show you. I got a good bit of spinning done on the alpaca/merino/tussah silk blend, but there is really no need for a picture as it just looks like there is a little more on the…

    Reference Well, another two weeks and time for another update. Besides the club sock, I still have the heel experiment going on. This time, rather than lining all of the increases up along the center, I am making the increases diverge from the center, forming a “V” at the bottom of the foot. I am…

    Reference Actually, this is my least favorite track on the CD. This is kind of embarrassing to admit, given how I tease others for having to go through their stashes so that they don’t go out and buy something that they already have hidden away somewhere; but when I went searching through containers to find…

    Reference About a month or so ago, I took a gander at our dishtowels, and thought that we could use some new ones around here. The towels are starting to show some wear after being used and going through the laundry about every week or so for about ten years. Besides, since moving into this…
