Crochet

I took a great Crochet class at The Knitting Bee on Saturday morning with the rest of the staff from the shop! We all learned about crochet charts! Darla Fanton teaches at the Bee and she is a wonderful teacher. I had not crocheted in years. It was so much fun! I made a trivet to go under my teapot!

Wingspan

So I knit Wingspan and it turned out so cute:) I only got 6 wedges and it is a little small for me so it will go in my gift bin:) All the notes on this project are in my notebook on Ravelry!

Year of the Dragon

So I am in a group on Ravelry called Fun Onion and they are hosting a Year of the Dragon SAL this week! I couldn't resist joining the FUN! Especially since I was born in the year of the Dragon.
I spun this!



Oh how I love it!
I am going to make a Wingspan out of it:) Thank you Maylin Tri'Coterie for the free pattern!

His and Hers

Yesterday the hubby and I got into a little spinning race. I won! But I did have an eight hour headstart:) I think it took me like 10 hours to spin my singles and it took him like 3 or 4.

The Scarf

So I have been meaning to show you all the scarf that the hubby wove for a while but I kept forgetting to take pictures. Well yesterday he joined Ravelry as a weaver and spinner and I took some pictures for his project page! Oh and his name over there is rogueshubby if you want to go friend him and say hi! I told him that he is going to be amazed by how nice fiber people are:) He even joined my group over there and is going to do our first SAL-WAL (spin along and weave along! I am hoping that he will weave me something soon:)

Didn't he do a great job!

It was snowing!

It was snowing this morning when I woke and I couldn't resist the urge to take pictures of my most recent finished handspun out in the white stuff.

This is the view from are yard this morning. I have no doubt it will melt within an hour or two:(


This is my finished yarn:) Polwarth and Silk dyed by me and spun on my CPW. I got 486 yards of light fingering weight yarn that I plan on turning into a shawl today!



I have had a crazy busy last month with very little time for crafting since Christmas so I am going to take most of the day to just knit and enjoy my cozy couch!

CPW Party!!!

We had a mini CPW party at my house tonight!!! It was so much fun:) We had Four CPWs and some other fun travel wheels too! It was so great. I still have no idea who made my wheel and I still have no idea when it was made but I couldn't love it more!!!!


Click on the picture to get a closer look!
The little travel wheels are the Sidekick, the Holiday and the Hansens Mini Spinner!!! FUN FUN FUN!
Oh and that is Miki in the photo from Funhouse Fibers! Check out her shop she dyes beautiful fiber and she is so much fun and a kick in the pants:)
If you spin and you have never tried one of these amazing Canadian wheels, take it from me try one! They rock!

Blooming

I am so happy that one of my Orchids has decided to bloom again. I love having flowers in the winter. It makes me so happy to look at them when it is dreary outside.


I hope something is blooming in your life:)

Sock Yarn Club!

I have decided to add a Sock yarn Club to the Fiber Club that I already do. I will dye up sock yarn in the same colorways I do for Fiber Club and ship it out at the same time. I am super excited about this. I REALLY love the base yarn I use for socks!!! It is my all time favorite! I have a pair of socks in this base that I have been wearing regularly for almost 4 years and you can't tell that they are old! The base is merino and nylon and it is soft and durable! Love it!!! I am only opening this club up to 10 spots at the moment. I may add more later but for now I am testing the waters with 10.

Sock Club March - May 2012!!!


Oh and the new round of Fiber Clubs are up on the site as well with limited space:)
