Shades of Red

these red braids are one of the first fibers in my now-decently-sized fiber collection - two braids of bfl/silk in "vamp" from pigeonroof studios. i was certain this deep red-colored fiber would translate to deep red yarn, and it sort of did, via a surprising route.i decided to spin these 9 ounces into a 3-ply yarn. as an experiment, i referenced a new...

Woodsman gloves

slowly but surely, i am starting to use my handspun yarns. when i started learning to spin, my main focus was on creating an even, balanced yarn, but i didn't think about knitting them into specific projects, should they have turned out in decent shape. the yarn was enough. one thing at a time. now, i find myself thinking about what project each spun ya...

Morning spins (and current knits)

Darning Socks

it had to happen sometime. five years after i started knitting socks, the first ones were starting to wear thin. two pairs of socks had developed holes, and one pair was starting to fray at the cuff. i noticed the first hole months ago.. and folded the socks into the back of the drawer to be repaired "later." but i was running low on socks. i have about ...
