    Reference Well, I certainly have been doing a lot of spinning lately. I bring to you more finished product! This is the superwash merino from Enchanted Knoll in the Mesmerized colorway. There is a fair bit of thick and thin in this because it just did not want to draft evenly for me. Of course,…

    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 Sorry I have been away so long, but at least I am still keeping to the schedule I set out when I initially started this blog, once every two weeks. The reason why there haven’t been a lot of posts is because I have mostly been working on the winter sock for the sock…

    Reference While last weekend was my big weekend, this weekend is Mr. Penney’s big weekend. Star Trek opened this weekend, and we are going to see it tonight. Lucky for me, I finished socks for just such an occasion. Yes, I finished the socks I was knitting with Dragon Sock in the Starry Night colorway…

    Reference Well, I got some good news last week. The investigations into the accident are over, and everything came out in my favor. While I never doubted that I was not at fault in the accident, things don’t always come out the way they are supposed to. Fortunately, they did in this case. In more…

    Reference I am finishing things! The other weekend, I finished the singles I was spinning. I have no idea where I am going to go with it from here. Maybe two ply, maybe a Navajo ply. I am not sure right at this moment. And this weekend, I finished these! Yeah! The Christmas socks are…

    Reference Thank you all for your concern over the accident. It is much appreciated. The biggest thing that I want right now is for life to get back to normal, as I must admit that having to deal with some aspect of the accident everyday has been kind of stressful. That is why it was…

    Reference The rubberband on my spinning wheel was suffering from dry rot, so it broke all on its own when I only had a little over 8 ounces done of the Tide Pool roving. I figured my tension was going to change after replacing the rubberband (that is part of the brake band,) so it…

    Reference Remember those spheres that I made, from Brent’s pattern? I said that I would let you know how I deviated from the final construction. Well, here it is, my VD gift to you! First, why I branched off from the original instructions…

    Reference If there was a bright side to me being sick, it is that it clears my schedule. Going to my company holiday party? Not anymore. Meeting friends out for lunch? I don’t think so. Going to get a couple extra hours of work in at the office? Not so much. Now, I wasn’t major…
