A few new things to chat about this week. I finished by Color Frenzy cowl and you can read all the details on that fun knit in my post from Friday (2 days ago). I've been working on a new colorwork project. This is the Cinnamon Stars cowl, designed by Baroque Purls. The original was… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 11

FO Friday: Princezna Hyacinta Handspun
I focused on getting my singles finished up and plied this week so I have a completed skein of handspun yarn to share for FO Friday today. Original fiber: A set of four 1-oz batts from KCKnits Etsy shop (which appears to be closed indefinitely) in the way-back stash machine (2017? maybe earlier?). These were… Continue reading FO Friday: Princezna Hyacinta Handspun
FO: BFL/Silk Handspun Yarn
I really wanted to have all my spinning bobbins cleaned off for 2022, so I got myself refocused on the larger spin I had been working on through the end of 2021 to get it finished up. I'm happy to say that's accomplished and I went into the new year being able to start a… Continue reading FO: BFL/Silk Handspun Yarn

Weekending – June 28, 2021

We woke up Saturday morning to the sound of rain and it rained off and on for the morning hours, before giving way to beautiful skies and amazing clouds! I spent several hours both Saturday and Sunday doing… Continue reading Weekending – June 28, 2021
Tour de Fleece – June 25, 2021
I haven't participated in the Tour de Fleece in several years. I had other crafting things that took priority, I suppose, but I decided I'd participate this year in a casual way with my friend, Laura's group, The Corner of Knit and Tea. If you aren't familiar with the Tour, it's a fiber event that… Continue reading Tour de Fleece – June 25, 2021
