Is it me?
I sometimes (ok… rarely) wonder IF I had a tattoo, what would it look like? Hat tip to Tove for finding this! Maybe a monotone nalbinding inspired motif…?

Mystery Bag of Fibery Goodness
Just sewed up this bag for tomorrow’s knitting group get together. You can see the side view here. The top and bottom seams are ninety degrees apart. Kinda neat! We’re having a ‘white elephant’ type of exchange. This bag is stuffed with fibery goodness. I have to admit I’m having separation anxiety already. LOL! It [...]

Spinning
Thought I’d show off the latest spinnings with a really bad photo. Did the blue one today. They are all bulky weight. I still have about 6 ounces each left to spin. My wheel has developed the most annoying squeak. I think it is time to oil it. Need to get one of those little [...]

Happy Birthday to Sam
Friday was Sam’s 10th birthday party. This is him with the coveted DS game “Shadow the Hedgehog.” Can you tell he was excited? Instead of cake, I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies and impaled the top cookie with 10 candles. This was served with icecream. Everyone seemed content with this deviation from tradition. [...]

Fiber-y Goodness
In an effort to preserve what semblance of sanity I have, I took a fiber break. I not only bought (at the CWSG Exhibition and Sale), but spun (and am now knitting with) some lucious, grey alpaca fiber. Woot! Here’s a close up shot of the yarn. It is soooo soft! I’m going to attempt [...]
