Spinning Jenny: A month in review
http://spinning-jenny.blogspot.com/2010/01/month-in-review.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. A month in review. For Christmas I had also asked for and received a couple of balls of lovely "Shepherd's Own" undyed. On top of reading and shopping I did some more spinning from fleece samples handed out at the guild meeting. I also worked on spinning up some merino on my drop spindles. I am currently plying up the results and reminding myself of why I usually opt to do my plying on the wheel (it is a bit slow and mindless). I cast on the second Tuesday of the month and was r...

Spinning Jenny: February 2010
http://spinning-jenny.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. Letting the yarn do the work. A couple of weeks ago my fellow Tuesday coffee knitter was working on some plain socks using one of the more complicated self-striping sock yarns. The socks looked great and she was really enjoying seeing what the yarn would throw at her next. I was intrigued. So on my next trip to the LYS I picked up a ball of Trekking XXL that looked like it would produce interesting stripes. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

In Yarn Veritas: Begin as you mean to go on
http://inyarnveritas.blogspot.com/2015/01/begin-as-you-mean-to-go-on.html
Friday, January 02, 2015. Begin as you mean to go on. I imagine that this is the point where I say that I intend to make 2015 the year I blog regularly! Of course that's what I intend to do but in all honesty - I might or I might not. You see, the one thing I can say about 2015 is that I intend to spend less time fretting about what I should be doing and more time getting on with it. Blogging will happen.or not as things unfold. I got a new spinning wheel - that does deserve its own post and I adore it&#...

In Yarn Veritas: Princess meet Pumpkin
http://inyarnveritas.blogspot.com/2013/06/princess-meet-pumpkin.html
Friday, June 07, 2013. The other thing we did was shop. Dad was very generous in taking me to my favourite fibre haunts. The first stop was to see Jane Stafford. In Nanaimo at Ewe Knit, I bought a skein of Shepherd Sock by Lorna's Laces. This is a beautiful tonal yarn in greens called Skyway. I keep thinking it's called "Skyfall" instead so I think I'll rename it. It's somewhat manly so I'm hoping to make a pair of socks for dad (shhhhhh). Yarn exporter in Pakistan.

In Yarn Veritas: Gone Fishing
http://inyarnveritas.blogspot.com/2013/06/gone-fishing.html
Sunday, June 02, 2013. I'm a bad,bad blogger.but then you knew that already. Life continues to roll at warp speed. I fall down the rabbit hole at regular intervals. I work - long hours and have a busy family life. My fibrey pursuits often take a back seat to duty (sigh). Blissfully alone with the sunshine, my latte and my knitting. Life's good.

In Yarn Veritas: June 2011

Monday, June 27, 2011. It would seem that one large home improvement project per year is the way we roll around here. Two. Years ago it was the roof and last year.windows. Those were great but when they're done, you don't get anything new out of the deal just updated versions of what you already had. This year is different. As of tonight, I have large machinery in my back yard. For the last couple of years, I've plunked down a cheapo gazebo - the kind you get at Canadian Tire. It's been a great pla.

Spinning Jenny: November 2009
http://spinning-jenny.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Today was not as fiber centric as yesterday, but I did manage to get some photos of the fiber I plied up yesterday. First, here are three skeins of the fleece I was given by the guild:. Once all of my samples are spun I'm going to have to knit them up into a scarf or something that can take advantage of all these little skeins. I may knit up a small sample of each just to get an even better sense of the wool characteristics. Links to this post. Sunday, November 29, 2009. I'm ve...
