September already?

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

Here’s the fine black shetland (chain plied). I should have photographed it on a lighter background. I don’t feel like photographing it again because I’ve got a lot of other things goin’ on. So it’ll have to do. When I knit it into something I will take a better photo – promise.

Here’s a couple of shots of what [...]

Spinning, spinning, spun.

I spun a sample I received when I purchased this (as seen below) spindle from Woolyvines.

They say it’s your birthday.

Tuesday, January 3, 2006

That’s right. It’s my birthday. I’m 34. Happy Birthday to me!!
My husband just came home from work, and, of course, didn’t remember. Not surprised. My almost 16yo daughter, who never forgets and has always made sure that her father doesn’t forget, seems to have forgotten this year. Let’s see if my brother (who is living [...]
