Beautiful Music

The Pretenders covering The Ramones. 

Romantic every time. 

A secret

So... when I started writing knitting patterns, they were hand written....

BUT... I made a font of my hand writing, and now they are typed....

Is this considered cheating?

Fibre

I got to choose new fibre for the shop today... We got it from Two Sisters with String.

Check her out!

New Pattern!!- Terribly Simple

The sweetest

Blinkus is the best

Six

Six years married today.

Still going strong.

Bike things

I love bike things.

We put on a race day last Saturday.
Brought out all the strange bikes.

Cat people

We are such cat dorks.

Royal

Spun some Corriedale with some gold thread... And then Navajo plied it.

Thick and thin.

Not too much here... But I'm falling in love with spinning shiny things!

Back to life

It feels good to sit silently.

Being away is adventreful... But I am happy to be home cooking up natural dyes...

Also, we got an indoor hammock... Which is where I am knitting right now.

Also... I have Shetland fibre cooking in lac and a black bean stock solution. Also, some merino in lac and black bean.

New yarn

AND FIBRE!

Solar dye day!

Today I taught a class on solar dyeing at Baaad Anna's Yarn Store. It was so rad to get to spread the love of natural dyes.

I also donated some pre-made solar dye jars to the Knit Social yarn retreat that is on right now!

With those jars... All the recipients have to do is put the jar in a sunny window, or outside in the sun for a few weeks. (or even a few months!) and then rinse what is in the jar (while wearing gloves!)

I have a jar made up for myself also, and will post the results here!

Home again

Here is a small peek into my last adventure. Three yarn stores in the Kootenays.

Warping the loom at work

This adventure rules hard

This Adventure

I'm not by the Internet much... But I will be soon!

Oyama Lake

My Momma, Arlo and I went adventuring in the woods.

Purses

I'm working on a photo project.

Purses.

Mine is on the left in the photo of both... My sister's purse is on the right.
