Coffee, yarn, books, cats, music, family. what more could a gal want? Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Guess what I'm doing! At the end of August, my friend Rachel and I spent a weekend in west Michigan and attended the Michigan Fiber Festival. 65279;. I bought a spindle! My first ball of singles. I had a terrible sore throat and was weak with a fever, and had no resistance against the wily spinner/vendor from Handspun by Stefania. Alpaca, merino, and silk. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Handspun Yarn Gallery
http://www.stonesockfibers.com/Pages/HandspunYarnGallery.aspx
Skip to main content. Gallery of My Work. I knit, so most of my yarns are intended to be suitable for knitting. I love wool. And silk. And mohair. And alpaca. And.well, mostly natural fibers. I like to spin thick yarns. I like to spin skinny yarns. I like to spin smooth yarns. I like to spin textured yarns. Here are a few of my yarns. In June 2012, I got some help from my friend, Carol S., in dyeing some yarns I’d spun. Three of the skeins are from a sheep named Lizzy who is mostly Ile de France. You can...

The Slight Hand - Part 2
http://www.theslighthand.com/page/2
June 15, 2010. The 20th Annual Estes Park Wool Market. In Festivals and fairs. I was lucky enough to encounter the Estes Park Wool Market. For the first time this past week. Because, while the trip had been planned for some time, it was completely novel for me, laced with an element of the unexpected and unexpectable and came away a little bit poorer, but (happily) rather more equipped for forays into fiber. The essentials of hand-quilting. Chunky alpaca in greens. Because I can: Potholders. I spent a lo...

In which I give an overly grand name to my desire to do a little bit of everything…. Let’s see — I’ve been wearing this for two winters now, so it’s embarrassingly behind the times to post it. That said, it’s the first garment I’ve knitted purely of my own handspun, so it really needs to make an appearance. First, we’ll begin with the fiber. This is Corriedale dyed in osage orange and indigo and prepared by Stefania Isaacson of Handspun by Stefania. Then a 3-ply, spun singles, and fiber…. Seriously, thou...

Fiber Cafe: September 2010
http://fibercafe.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Coffee, yarn, books, cats, music, family. what more could a gal want? Thursday, September 16, 2010. Look at those little blue elephant buttons! And a new sweater. The Jasper Diamond Hoodie. Size 6 -9 months, knit in Plymouth Jeannee DK. I love pretty much everything about this sweater, except that the largest size is too small for Jamie. I've resized patterns before, though, so I guess I could do it again. Links to this post. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Guess what I'm doing! 65279;. I bought a spindle!
