I went snowboarding (wearing my handspun/knit hat) for the first time but at least my head looked stylish whilst snowboarding kicked my ass. It was fun to actually wear my knit gear that day when temperatures where in the 20s. And I really loved looking at snowboarders/skiers knit […]

Being that I’m on holiday break, there’s been some serious laziness going on. It’s fantastic, this waking up so late. Although the responsible part of me is giving me a nasty case of guilt tripping, Ive shoved it back in the far recess for now until I return back to work next week. […]

Boy it was a busy weekend! I did the best to document it with photos, and I’m realizing how difficult it is to keep the camera on hand all the time. (Beware: Photo heavy post!)
Weekend started with going to the AlpacaFest West right around my parent’s neck of the woods in the City […]

It’s great to see the progress in finished hand spun yarns. I’ve been working on learning more control in terms of trying to keep the yarns a more consistent thickness. For the most part, I am heading this direction but I have to treadle really slowly and use the largest whorl in order […]

What an exciting and historic night!
The last couple days have been an exciting whirlwind which was set off by Southern California’s Handweavers Guild Weaving and Fiber Festival. It was fibery heaven for me. I haven’t really attended many fiber festivals and I suppose this was small but just right for my […]

Last weekend, I took a short trip to Solvang to visit Village Spin and Weaveto try out some spinning wheels. I was wavering between the Ashford Kiwi and the Sonata, and fortunately the night before I discovered Majacraft had a new wheel–the Pioneer. Originally, I was also looking into the Fricke DT because […]

It’s been a little quiet here lately but that’s because the last three weeks was filled with Olympic watching and Ravelympic knitting but no blogging. This week also puts me back one week before school starts and that has me occupied lately. I didn’t finish both my projects for the Ravelympics but I […]

One of the things I noticed about myself and growing old (LOL) is that I do not listen to music on the radio anymore but instead listen to talk radio. I always thought it was so boring and only old people listened to it. Silly? Very. Anyway, I digress…
I was quite […]

I posted this on the Destash for Cash blog…but figured I would do it here too. I have a pretty good selection of sock yarn but recently just decided that I need to really cut down because most of them are just sitting there, and honestly, I really don’t need that excess. Yes, […]

My apologies for the lack of blogging. It’s been difficult but as the school year comes close to an end (tomorrow), I hope to have more time but also can’t promise it really. I have not had any time for knitting and most of my focus has been on work, school, yoga/running , […]
