Fibergal Fantasy: Sweet Melodies Tam
http://fibergal.blogspot.com/2009/02/sweet-melodies-tam.html
Strange ramblings of a fiber freak. Mary Rowe's book Knitted Tams. Has long inspired me. But I never made anything out of her book. I used her methods and made many a tam. I have read my book so much, the pages are all bent and thin - well loved. So in my sock procrastination knitting frenzy, I decided it was time to pick a project. I had yarn on hand, that is in stash, to make a charmer called Sweet Melodies. Lovely. I remember way back in the days of Ancient History when the Big Knitlist wasn't tha...

Strange ramblings of a fiber freak. Pattern is done and I have the go ahead from various contributors to post it here. Remember that NONE of my pattern is original except the selection of colors and techniques used. Which brings up the idea of 'What is Original'? I see a ton of patterns out there that just grab a Barbara Walker pattern and stuff it in a sock format and call it their own. Is that original? I have the Treasury patterns too and can combine them myself. But in every pattern published in a ma...

Because People Know Everything. Did you ever have an item you just couldn't identify? Or have a question that you didn't even know where to ask? Friday, January 05, 2007. Noro Kureyon part 3. This is the Kureyon I have been examining, #102. I measured my skein roughly using a fingertip to chest measure and then I would tie off to hold that spot. My length is approx 30" and I list by lengths in the order I found the colors. So, 9 = 9*30=270" or 22.5 ft or 7.5 yds. Links to this post. Noro Kureyon part 3.

The Lace Shepherdess: March 2013
http://thelaceshepherdess.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 23, 2013. Just finished the Amari shawl. Three shades of green batts from The Fibre Fairy are now spun and the shawl is finished and being blocked. I increased the size so I could use all of my yarn. Got a bit nervous at the end. I used all but four yards. That was close! Very happy with it. Blocked out to 25 X 60 inches. Links to this post.

Strange ramblings of a fiber freak. I met this amazing jewelry artist while at the silver supply place today. Living in Albuquerque means that I am surrounded by artists and you become kinda numb to the whole scene after a while. So when I tell you that this artist has a unique look, it means he really stands out in a crowd of artists. He has both a website and Etsy shop. Which I strongly recommend, especially for those looking to burn through some holiday money. (His photo with permission). Herringbone ...
