Food and Yarn: 2006-03

http://foodandyarn.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

Food and yarn as viewed by a slightly obsessive, almost always hungry knitter and spinner. Thursday, March 30, 2006. I've been a bit distracted from the blog for the last little bit due to some sad news. My apologies if you've been waiting on an e-mail from me. I'm hoping that this small gift can be a token of my thoughts and caring to my friend. Posted by Angela at 12:08 PM. Monday, March 27, 2006. SP7 was my first time in a Secret Pal exchange and I. Did it, but everything she picked was Perfect! I hav...

Food and Yarn: 2005-10

http://foodandyarn.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html

Food and yarn as viewed by a slightly obsessive, almost always hungry knitter and spinner. Monday, October 31, 2005. I finished my socks in time. This may not generally be an amazing fact unless you consider that I have not finished a pair of socks in nearly 2.5 years. Jen. Did a wonderful thing by taking on my languishing half-knit socks. Amble pattern from the Six Sox Along on Yahoogroups. Apple Butter yarn from Apple Laine, a wonderful blend of wool, mohair and nylon. Posted by Angela at 8:53 AM.

Fingerless glove: May 2006

http://fingerless-glove.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Looking for what's missing. I'm a knitting, spinning, mother of teenagers with a big dog, a small cat, minus the lovely rabbit Meliflua. Virginia, United States. Right now I'm listening to "An Irish Country Village" by Patrick Taylor, reading "Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake" by Anna Quindlen and knitting Wisconsin Wintersocks. And casting off the lace shawl I've been working on since I last posted. View my complete profile. Much better than stuffed in a grocery bag on a she. Azucena, from August to April.

Fiber Corner: January 2006

http://fibercorner.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

Daily life of a knitting designer/publisher of handknitting patterns. Friday, January 27, 2006. Yes, I've done it. I've signed up for the Knitting Olympics. I'll be using some of Lisa's. Yarn in the Turqua color. Don't know whether they'll be toe-up or top down yet. I just wound the skein and am swatching a bit since I've never knit with it before. I'm going to figure out my gauge and some stitch patterns so I'm ready to cast on during the opening ceremonies. Posted by Vicki @ 10:02 AM. Here's a shot of ...

Fiber Corner: March 2006

http://fibercorner.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

Daily life of a knitting designer/publisher of handknitting patterns. Saturday, March 25, 2006. I've been trying to avoid getting caught up in the spindle buying frenzy that's been going around. But this week it finally caught up with me. Here perched in my latest fiber display is my new spindle made by Steve Kundert. Isn't it a beauty! It's one of his new designs and has a walnut whorl and shaft and cherry, maple and walnut woods for decoration. The weight is 1.2 oz. How does it spin? Yes, I've been a r...

Fiber Corner: May 2006

http://fibercorner.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Daily life of a knitting designer/publisher of handknitting patterns. Monday, May 29, 2006. Lately, I've been spindling or spinning on my wheel in all my spare moments. So, here are some works in progress shots. On the left, on my Kundert spindle, is some superwash Merino in Electra from Lisa. On my wheel, I'm practicing the long draw with some Hidden Valley Farm roving I purchased last summer. And surprise, surprise, I'm spinning it worsted weight! My long term wheel project is also some of Lisa's.

Fiber Corner: June 2006

http://fibercorner.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Daily life of a knitting designer/publisher of handknitting patterns. Sunday, June 11, 2006. After all the shopping at MS&W, you would think I'd be all set, but parcels have steadily been arriving over the last month. The last arrival was this gorgeous silk top dyed by Carol Weymar. This ought to keep me busy for awhile. At least until Convergence at the end of the month. Posted by Vicki @ 7:05 PM. Tuesday, June 06, 2006. A Day at the Spa. One side of the animal is now available to be sheared and all the...

Fiber Corner: Indiski Shawl

http://fibercorner.blogspot.com/2009/07/indiski-shawl.html

Daily life of a knitting designer/publisher of handknitting patterns. Sunday, July 05, 2009. Progress has been made on the Indiski shawl since the last post. After separately knitting both borders, sts were picked up along the straight edge of each one. Want a closer look? Then, you knit the sts through the back loop which causes a little twist in them making a pretty join. From the back you can see the twisted sts and the straight horizontal line is from the other loop of the chain selvedge edge. The in...

Fiber Corner: A Good Day

http://fibercorner.blogspot.com/2009/07/good-day.html

Daily life of a knitting designer/publisher of handknitting patterns. Sunday, July 12, 2009. We have a small flock of Pelicans spending the summer here. It's always a good day when they're spotted in flight or on the bay during my daily walk. And, to be able to get a photo to share with all of you was even better. It was also a good day because I finished spinning and plying my first fleece. This was a Perendale purchased from Treenway back in 2007. It was so very white that I nicknamed it Snow. But firs...
