So, I finally have my “studio”, as we are calling it as it sure as heck isn’t an office, put together. Of course my room is always a work in progress but here is what it looks like for the moment. As you can see, Meara and Weezy are being lovely models for me by …
What a fun day. Today I went to the S.O.C.K.S. (South Orlando Crocheters, Knitters and Spinners) 5th annual Distaff day. It was a blast and the first time that I have ever gotten a chance to spin with other people. It is also the first time a photo of me spinning has been taken. The folks …
Here are some pictures of fleece washing. Very glamorous, no? So there. I was able to take pictures of the inside of the washing machine without dropping the camera into it.
So, the Friday night lift-off of the shuttle was easily the best one that I have seen in my decade here in Central Florida. It was just a little bit cloudy, so the flames coming out of the back seemed sort of magnified. It really looked like a small sun rising especially in the first …
This is what I did last night after the Happy Hookers meet-up. I started spinning up some of the rovings that I bought at Rhinebeck. The name of this colorway is “Sage” and I only have half a pound of it. It is (I believe) 100% merino wool. I am not sure that I like spinning …

I have an urge. An urge that involves a dark blue sharpie, the cover of darkness and a small flashlight. Oh, and a sign on someone’s front lawn. Have you seen those McCain-Palin signs everywhere? When I very first saw one I thought that it said McCain-Pain and I though, “Heck yeah!”. Then …
I’m sure that y’all were waiting on the ends of your seats for the promised pictures of the yarn that was spun over the weekend, so here they are (and not much else I might add….). What can I say? The crazy yarn neighbor lady has struck again!
