I’ve gotten the [...]

… to report here. Shortly after my last post, I received word that a very good friend of ours, the best man at our wedding, had died earlier that day. I can’t even begin to express how shocking this news was as none of us knew he was sick at all, let alone that he [...]

I needed to give my wrist a break from knitting, or at least that’s the defense I’ve constructed in latest detour from the baby surprise jacket. You see, my new spindle from Spindlewood came in today…
and I just happened to have the beautifully dyed roving from Cosy sitting around at my parents place–we’ve been camping [...]

Found a few nice wool–and one cotton–sweaters to collect yarn from at the thrift store close to my parents house…
I actually put back five other sweaters, and there were plenty more that I didn’t even look at. I’ll definitely have to go back, and there’s one more big store I’d like to stop by before [...]

…has been made on the BSJ. Sigh. I’m really sad that I can’t seem to find the motivation to make more progress.
But I did find a really awesome place to buy a new and bigger drop spindle, Spindlewood Co, out of Oregon. The very first I heard of this company was while poking around in [...]

The answer… none.
I’ve got one more class to prepare for and two more classes to attend before I send my students out in the cold, mean world for Spring Break. Yee-haw! I am looking forward to being all done, even though I had a particularly nice class this time around.
But I thought I [...]

You’ll have to pardon, pretty please, my inexcusable absence. I was really hoping by the end of this weekend that I might have a little more to show than what I do. But, unfortunately, I was catching up on several years of Pride and Prejudice neglect.
Several of my friends have told me that I should [...]

I made it out of the house to do some early Saturday morning shopping with the kiddies and our last stop before nap time was to pick these up… can’t wait to start spinning this up to see what I get!
Merino roving dyed up by Cosy!! I just loved the colors and couldn’t pass this [...]
