Conversations With Myself
2017: Self, you need to make a bank run. Its 35 degrees out. Better use the remote start and warm the car up first… Drives to bank 2018: Self, you need to make a bank run. 10 minutes later… Well, walking here was nice but you should run back. Just to prove you can! Runs most of the way back to the office. Lets go ahead and ignore the tequila shot and cocktails that followed (quite…

It Started with an ISO Post
It Started with an ISO Post
I love being a fiber artist in the internet age. I have been a crafter all my life, a habit picked up, no doubt, from my Mom, who was always making something. But for the first twenty-odd-years, my crafting was limited to what was available locally, so mostly big-box discount store type supplies and take what you can get endeavors- cross stitch, bead weaving, etc. I have always loved to try…

Today I am sad.
Today I am sad.
I try to say away from too much “real world” here, preferring to stick to the light, the happy, the fibery goodness that is my solace in the big bad world but today I can’t. Today I am sad. Sad for 50 innocent lives tragically ended. 53 more who will forever wear the physical scars of the tragedy. How many more who walked away physically unharmed but forever changed. Hundreds if not…

Letting My Freak Flag Fly
Letting My Freak Flag Fly
My buddy TigerSharkKnits made mention in a comment yesterday that it seemed like soon I might tackle dyeing to really round out my fiber arts repertoire (I spin, I knit, apparently I design…). Little did she know! Dyeing is actually not a new art form to me. I’ve been dabbling since not so long after I started spinning (just over 5 years ago that. Wow how time flies) and while still mostly a…

Magic Bean Juice and Blocking
Magic Bean Juice and Blocking
What do you mean this isn’t how everyone starts their workday? On the right, the morning essential I lovingly refer to as my magic bean juice. Coffee and I haven’t always gotten along but since somewhere around 38 or 39 it’s become an essential part of my morning evolution. Without it I don’t speak in words let alone full sentences and chances of me remembering to do life’s essential tasks…

Dear Blog I miss you. A lot. But I feel like maybe I have outgrown you. So I’m trying something new. Find it here : twelveafterforty Kthxbai Me

Dear Blog
I miss you. Honestly. I’m not just trying to make you feel better about how neglected you’ve been. I genuinely miss you and intend to spend more time with you this year. Life, it’s been pretty chaotic over the past year but I am going to try to renew our friendship and get to know you all over again. Because there is still lots of knitting and spinning to talk about and other stuff to. So Ima…

SIX WEEKS AWAY?
Srsly that’s like FOREVER… I could DIE by the time six weeks passes…
Or, you know, that’s a typically impatient me waiting for Wisconsin Sheep & Wool to roll ’round on the calendar. I made my inaugural trip to the festival last year, just on Friday to check out the Market Place and see how quickly I could make my plastic smoke. Very VERY quickly, by the way, in case you hadn’t already…

So that was weird
For… I dunno, 8 or 9 years. Or maybe 7, I can’t remember things, I’ve been going to quilting night once a month. at Ye Olde School House. It started out as the 2nd Monday of the month for a hand appliqué group and eventually merged into the 3rd Wednesday in a multi-craftual work on what you want kind of setting. The group has grown and shrunk, I’m ALWAYS the youngest one in the room unless…

Abandon Ship!
Or at least that’s today’s stance on knitting. Because this happened
The picture doesn’t quite do her justice, but that right there, that’s my new wheel! After a month and a half of bumping my For Sale post on Ravelry I finally found a taker for my Sidekick and I’d saved an appropriate amount in my PayPal account from eBay sales combined with my birthday money (seriously, even at 40, hanging…

I Can Make Yarn
I know. I’ve been doing that for a good while now. Lots and lots of yarn. Why just last term I made all this
That would be the 1800+ yards I dyed and spun for my NEWT. The idea there was that I’d dye and spin the solar system so each yarn represents one of the planets and I tried a few different new to me ply structures- the red, for example, is a cable. Another one I did an opposing ply…

Always a Work In Progress
My stash room I mean. It’s the one room in the house where I manage something vaguely resampling organization only that seems largely depended on my not actually setting foot in there. At least maintaining the organization. But since deciding to venture into the Etsy world, a new effort seemed necessary. And also an IKEA trip seemed prudent.
IKEA is addictive. Living in a small house, the…

Trying to make it a trend
Keeping up with the blog thing I mean. So it being Sunday and Sunday being Year of Projects Update day, well, it seemed a logical place to go!
Despite the ticker over there saying’ I’ve knit and spun nothing this year, the truth is I’ve knit and spun a fair bit. I’m not sure I can remember what all it is I’ve knit and spun but it’s been happening. I knocked out the Advent Calendar scarf and a…

Lets Talk Spindles
I was introduced to the wide world of spinning a number of years ago by way of the drop spindle. A friend of ours made several and used them to teach spinning. Which is really to say fish them in, or maybe that was just me. But anyway, I spent a Saturday in a park learning to create clunky, thick thin crazy sorta yarn that wasn’t particularly pretty or even useful. And I learned why the call…

Did you like it how
I snuck in yesterday with my first post in, truthfully probably months, and just went about business like nothing unusual happened? Yeah. I thought it was pretty savvy too.
The thing is, life seems to have gotten in the way. Work’s been crazy so the little time I do have I’ve been using to craft. Since last I really dusted off the blog I’ve learned epic tons about dyeing fiber and purchased a…

Do Something That Scares You
Some credit Eleanor Roosevelt for the quote, some say Emmerson, some say other things, but the point is, in life, sometimes you have to close your eyes and jump in to something new. Sometimes it results in epic fails, sometimes it’s just the every day little things, sometimes it turns into something great, but you just never know until you do it, right?
In the last year, I’ve done this in a few…
