  An afternoon with no rain, Flickr playing well with others, and some mail that piled up makes for a yarn-crawlish post.   Grab a cuppa’ (it’s chilly here), your favorite snack, and settle in! We’ll start with the long-neglected last Loopy Sock Club package that arrived a couple of weeks ago.  This is ...

  Talking about Weaving — Authority: 124
  Posted by Peg in South Carolina I have not really been comfortable with a twill sett of 8 epi for this handspun warp.  And after I had beamed it on I saw why.  Here is a photo of the warp from the back after beaming, threading, sleying and removing of lease sticks. The two warp ends visible on ...

• before winter?

  
  barefoot rooster — Authority: 122
  That’s the goal for my Garter Yoke Cardigan, and it looks like I might make it! I’m leaning towards a bracelet sleeve length — longer than three quarter, but not so long that the cuff will get in the way of knitting and working. Also, there’s something about a slightly shorter sleeve on me that at least ...

• Well Hello

  
  Idyll Hands — Authority: 116
  Yes, I do manage to finish a big project every now and then. These little fingerless gloves might look small, but this was a very big project for me. I picked out roving from my stash, spun it up specifically with these in mind, set the yarn, waited for it to dry, waited some more, got distracted by a couple of ...

• One Last Skein

  
  Knit/Wit — Authority: 113
  Im well aware of the fact that my spinning time is very limited. I may be able to sneak in some knitting here and there after the baby is born, but I think its going to be very difficult to get behind a wheel for some time (not least because the wheel will be going upstairs very shortly to be replaced in the bedroom ...

• Drench yourself in Tyrian purple!

  
  Jude's Threshold — Authority: 420
  Now if you were snuggled inside something knitted or crocheted in Tyrian purple handspun and painted yarn you’d feel as royally scumptious as this skein looks. You know you would! So click if you wish, for my daughter Maya is the go-to for that…

• Wordless, mostly. Knitting.

  
  Gnomegarden — Authority: 112
  Been sort of wordless lately.   I thought I’d share some knitting and photos until the words return. These 2 are handspun skeins that have been hanging around the treasure bowl for a while.  I spun them and loved them so much in strand/yarn-form that I couldn’t even think of making them into “something.”  ...

  the knottygnome knits — Authority: 124
  i decided to use my red heart batt to try corespinning . i used red cotton crochet thread for the core. i found it fairly difficult b/c it worked best for me if i treadled verrrry sloooowly. if my feet started to pick up speed, even a little, it just became a horrible mess. i had more fun carding the batt than i ...

  barefoot rooster — Authority: 122
  I had to completely rearrange my fridge to get this bunch of tat soi inside. Isn’t it beautiful? I’ve been buried under a pile of grading this week (one more paper to grade before I head to campus), and while I do most of my reading on the couch and writing at my desk at the computer, I grade at my kitchen table. ...

  Skyline Chilly — Authority: 116
  So, I spent several hours yesterday making and editing video for a tutorial. My big plan was to launch my series of video knitting/fiber tutorials with today’s post! It turns out, iMovie ‘09 has a known problem – I can’t even call it a bug at this point – where it lacks the “Save” function. It’s ...

  Talking about Weaving — Authority: 124
  Posted by Peg in South Carolina   I have three skeins of 60/2 silk ready for the dye pots. “Life,” however, seems to be happening.  For the next couple of weeks, it is going to be difficult, if not impossible, to find any three-hour spaces that I need for even one dye session.  I won’t mention ...
