It’s so great to have another FO to blog about, and probably a shock to most of you that I’m posting so soon. Last post was knitting and now for spinning.
My wonderful friend Micki sent this lovely fiber to me as a “welcome to spinning” gift. I loved it when I saw it [...]

Remember when Carole sent my that wonderful “welcome to spinning” package? Well, the welcome wagon has hit again and this time I received a package from Micki. I must confess I was half expecting to receive a package from her. She’d spun this beautiful pink, gold and white yarn and commented [...]

A few weeks ago, my wonderful friend Carole surprised me with a package of rovings and a sweet card welcoming me to the world of spinning. The roving I noticed immediately was this one:
This is 100% Wool (label doesn’t say what kind of wool) from Knit One Spin Two. Although the natural BFL [...]

There’s so much to share with you regarding Stitches West, but I’m going to break it up into several posts so I don’t overload your systems with photos.
We left the house Thursday morning and drove from Southern California to Northern California. We were lucky enough to be staying at the Santa Clara Hyatt Regency [...]
I would like to share with you the beautiful knitting project I completed Saturday morning, but I can’t. My grandkids spent the weekend with us and now today DH and I are both sick. The little one’s snotty nose looked innocent enough, but obviously he got the minor runny nose and gave us [...]

This was going to be a post about my adventures at TNNA in Long Beach, but it makes no sense telling you what I saw at this tradeshow, without first explaining why I was there. For those of you who are unfamiliar with TNNA, it is the National NeedleArts Association which is a [...]

I know I’ve only been posting about twice a week and I mean to post more frequently, but to be honest, my health has continued to decline. I’m only 37 for heaven’s sake and it feels like my body is trying to do me in. I could bore you with my pathetic list [...]
