GoneBattyFibers: May 2010
http://gonebattyfibers.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. In which I attend Shepherd's Harvest Festival. What a fabulous weekend we had at the Shepherd's Harvest Fiber Festival My 8-9th! The weather was cold, especially Saturday, as it usually is, but Sunday the sun came out and everyone was feeling wonderful! Here are some pictures of our Northern Lights Handspinner's Guild booth. Here's our fearless leader Pauline:. We raised almost $400 this year for Heifer, which is very exciting. I should have more weekends like this- good friends and...

GoneBattyFibers: January 2011
http://gonebattyfibers.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. In Which I Watch Some Hockey and Spin. High school hockey season is in full swing here in Minnesota. If you like hockey, high school hockey here is fantastic! I have two nephews who play varsity hockey for Minnetonka High School, so I am a proud and avid fan. I've also been spinning for my October Frost sweater. I have one full bobbin done. My plan is to keep two bobbins in play- once one is full, let it rest overnight, then take the singles off on the ballwinder. ...Rogue wit...

Kindred Spirit Farm: January 2011
http://kindredspiritfarmsv.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Websites and Social Networking Woes. Maybe I'm too old. Maybe it is our rural satellite internet connection, that is anything but high speed. I know part of the problem is the desktop computer with the frozen fan. Anyway, creating websites, updating facebook pages, and trying to figure out how to link them all is overwhelming to me. I'm frustrated. I've spent the last two weekends tethered to the computer. My goal this year is to increase our farm's online presence and integrate...

GoneBattyFibers: April 2010
http://gonebattyfibers.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 14, 2010. I made some awesome batts! Oh, I just love my drumcarder! She is awesome. I will sing the praises of the Fancy Kitty high and low. She made these batts:. Which spun up like this:. The little skein from leftovers spun up like butter! I want to keep these batts rather than put them in the Etsy store, but I have to be good. I'm building inventory slowly, and have yet to post anything in the store, but it's coming. This weekend is Yarnover. The following weekend I'm planning an ent...

http://gonebattyfibers.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-which-i-take-long-weekend.html
Wednesday, February 23, 2011. In Which I Take a Long Weekend. Last weekend was my reward for losing 125 lbs! I took Friday off of work and spent the day with my friend Malla. We made a trip to fiber workers Mecca- Detta's Spindle. I finished carding all of the shetland wool for my October Frost sweater! Here's the remainder of the roving, ready for carding:. Whew, that was a lot to do, but now I just have to spin it up. I've done 4 bobbins full so far. February 25, 2011 at 6:23 PM.

GoneBattyFibers: March 2010
http://gonebattyfibers.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 20, 2010. In which I celebrate a fiber-filled weekend- and it's only half over! What a great day! Okay, it was a bit cold- 26 this morning when we headed out, but it's a good excuse to wear warm woolies, right? My friend Lynn and I were on the road by 9am, headed to Woolen Meadows Farm www.woolenmeadowfarm.com. For her 2010 sheep shearing. It washes up snowy white and takes dye beautifully. Thursday, March 18, 2010. In which I wax philosophic about time and literature (for what it's worth!

GoneBattyFibers: June 2010
http://gonebattyfibers.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. In which I get ready to move, and other adventures. I have sadly been neglecting my blog lately. There is way to much going on in my life right now. Let's start with the fact that we're moving. But it is a lot of work, even though I tell people it's all downhill- from the second floor, across the street, to a single story. July 10th is the big day. Wish us luck! Here is the first bobbin spun up:. More to come, maybe from our new location! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, September 6, 2010. Back to the Blog! Just touching base, not much has changed. Still haven't finished the blends I was working on with the carder. I have almost finished carding the dyed fleece, but that's about it. Next weekend is WI Sheep and Wool Festival. I am sooo excited about that trip! Not taking any classes, just going to camp, spin, shop, observe and have a great time. I hope to get some good pictures to post here, too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Fancy Kitty Drum Carders.
