All the News That Fits, We Print. Feb 5th, 2011 at 11:25 AM. So an old friend of mine is is a dire circumstance. It seems he is jobless and has been evicted from his apartment, and his sick wife is now living several states away with her dad. They have not seen each other in three years. Back in the day, he was a gamer and a bit of a fan, so he has that cultural background. Thanks for any help you can offer. 7 comments Leave a comment. Feb 5th, 2011 04:46 pm (UTC).

Looking for advice about combs: handspinning
http://handspinning.livejournal.com/157119.html
Looking for advice about combs. I've been doing a lot of carding of fleece. I'm comfortable with cards, and pretty darned good at using them, if I do say so myself. But I have this Finn fleece. It's long and silky and lustrous, and I suspect worsted or semiworsted is going to be a more appropriate technique than woolen. Which means it might be time to learn how to do combing and drawing through a diz. So - any recommendations for brands or styles? Or anything else I should be aware of? Post a new comment.

The allergist told me I should move to Denver. It's been a day . and a half? It's been a busy week. It's been a weekend. It's been a long week. It was a week. It was a miserable weekend. Josie is back from the vet. Remember that cough that's been hanging on forever? I know some people on my friends-list will appreciate this. It's been a couple of weeks. It's National Cancer Survivors Day. Can I be better now? What's your favorite skin cream? Viewing 0 - 20. The allergist told me I should move to Denver.

Handspun mohair/cashmere : handspinning
http://handspinning.livejournal.com/160671.html
A preponderance of punctuation marks (. A preponderance of punctuation marks. I finished some yarn last night that had been languishing for quite a while. By "quite a while" I mean that the Angora goat who contributed the kid mohair ply is now 7 years old. The other ply is purchased cashmere. I got 238 yards for 3.5 ounces.

So excited!!!!!!: handspinning
http://handspinning.livejournal.com/158019.html
I am SO EXCITED that I found this community. I have a drop spindle and my husband (my great enabler) want to buy me a wheel for my birthday (dies). Now to decide which wheel is best for me. I have been teaching myself how to spin using my trusty drop spindle. Actually, I didnt know what I was doing so I bought a crappy drop spindle that my husband altered to make better for me :) My first yarn was ghastly! And then it started to improve. Heres my latest . hank? Is that the right term? Post a new comment.

Looking for advice regarding spun silk cocoons: handspinning
http://handspinning.livejournal.com/157688.html
Looking for advice regarding spun silk cocoons. At this year's Shepherd's Harvest, the only spinnable thing I bought was a couple of ounces of dyed silk cocoons - because I loved the color (a lightish teal) and they were inexpensive. I had no idea what to do with them, so I tried carding them. I ended up with a bag of rolags that I've been spinning into a lace-weight single with lots and lots of slubs. Post a new comment.

Some thoughts on cleaning fleece: handspinning
http://handspinning.livejournal.com/156584.html
Some thoughts on cleaning fleece. 1 Sheep poop is nowhere near as hot-water-soluble (or even hot-water-and-soap-soluble) as one might have expected. 2 Despite this, it's the ground-in vegetable matter that is the hardest thing to deal with. Which brings me to my question: Is there any reasonable way to remove ground-in VM from locks of fleece? If I could, I'd post pictures, but the camera app in my iPhone seems to have decided to stop working properly.). Post a new comment. We will log you in after post.

Slubby silk skein!: handspinning
http://handspinning.livejournal.com/157705.html
So I finished carding and spinning my dyed cocoons (re earlier post), and just two-plied them together. I ended up with around 330 yards of very slubby laceweight yarn, weighing all of 1.25 ounces. I'd appreciate suggestions for what to do with it. The obvious option would be a scarf or shawlette, but I worry that it would be too clingy and subject to static because it's so light. Here's a photo of how it turned out - I'm quite pleased with it. Next project: cat hair! Post a new comment.
