wrapknot: April 2015
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. It could be spring. The sun was out. the temperatures made it to 70. the screens doors went on. i hope it's really spring. i moved all of my winter clothes out of the closet and summer clothes in. i didn't get too crazy and kept several fleeces handy. and the snow shovels out! I don't want to jinx it. we still have several snow piles in the yard, but i'm sure they will be gone soon. Wednesday, April 1, 2015. Where did march go? I took my wheel with a bit of color on it. It was del...

wrapknot: stage 16 and a rest day
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015/07/stage-16-and-rest-day.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Stage 16 and a rest day. The dog booties were the cat's pajama's (how's that for mixing metaphors :) they fit perfectly and she spent the day swimming like a. She can paddle away and we don't have to worry about an accidental liner tear. She is stylin in her new foot-wear. are we nuts about our dogs or what? Still spinning on those odds and ends. i' m going to have to soon decide how (or if) to ply this. I finished sarah's slippers. And had major dyeing mojo! Knee Deep in Sheep.

wrapknot: stages 17-19
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015/07/stages-17-19.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. Not a lot different on the spinning front. i'm still slogging along on the 'odds and ends'. the part that keeps me engaged and amused is the constant changes. the colors shift, the fiber is often different from bit to bit so i have to adjust my spinning. i've been on the road this week, and the first comment to the spinning is " wow, look at the color change". Yesterday i did this. Then there was this. The difference is crazy in person. the sound is what i always notice first...

wrapknot: stage 20 and the ride to paris!
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015/07/stage-20-and-ride-to-paris.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Stage 20 and the ride to paris! I finished the odds and ends. i was vacillating on what to do to finish them. have a super-yardage single? Two ply in random color matches? Or go with my original plan to navajo ply. i know that it's not the biggest problem in the world, but i just had to let it roll around in my brain a bit. i did spin yesterday, just finishing up some random stuff that had been hanging about. i wanted to wrap this tour up with completing those dang bits! I even got...

wrapknot: December 2014
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Twas the night before christmas. And knitting am i! It doesn't need to be under the tree for another week, so i'm not panic knitting. This year ran with but a few hiccoughs. the unplanned colds, keeping track of dad's well-being, but an easy navigation. we delivered the last gingerbread house. Tomorrow we spend with family. just enjoying each other for the day. And i'll get that knitting done! Monday, December 15, 2014. It let me keep the long bands of color, but made it a t...

wrapknot: February 2015
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. As i headed outside into the cold (it was a whopping 2) i realized that there was one more finished item to share. my moebius scarf. It's not often that what i imagine actually turns into a wearable item. i mean, it seems like it would work in my brain, the math looks good, but the end product? This didn't disappoint. i am continuing my love affair with lion brand's amazing. soft, pretty,. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Loving winter in new york! My only true winter complaint is...

wrapknot: January 2015
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Knitting,. but not for me. I never got my hat finished, so i was determined to make mitts! I was off to the local michaels to find super soft acrylic yarn. while there was lots, the colors were so bland. really, really bland. i knew that. There was just no way. How small are they really? Pretty darn small. they are just so cute that i've easily made two sets. i'm changing needle sizes to make them smaller . but aren't they dear? Tuesday, January 13, 2015. The swirl cowl in 'grap...

wrapknot: tour stages 11-15
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015/07/tour-stages-11-15.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Yes, there is spinning being done. but first let's look at the interruptions. summer is here, and you have to seize the fun when you can. we spent the night at the lake with grandpa. he's 93 and misses his girls. all the noise, chaos and fun that five gals can generate. we did this:. With skiing, swimming, nail painting, game playing fun. i did manage to spin each day, but the progress was minimal. So, Im curious, why would a dog wear flotation booties and not a floatation vest?

wrapknot: tour wrap up
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015/08/tour-wrap-up.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. They had to turn the lights on as i spun my way into Paris, but i made it. meeting my tour goals was a gentle challenge. spinning every day is not hard to do, being mindful as i do it is. i appreciated the bumps in the road. fiber that wasn't what i expected, added knitting projects that needed to be finished and flirting with new techniques. here's the outcome. Hmmmmm, going with the felted bag. i often admire joan's booga bag, should that be the pattern? How cool is this. Knee ...

wrapknot: June 2015
http://wrapknot.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. Finished just in time for the return of the exchange. i am happy to report that my project was completed early in the week. i say this because several were finished that morning :). How about a close up. The owner is dear, sweet karen. it was truly through happenstance that i got her bag of fiber. i wait until the end of the exchange to take mine. i don't really care whose fiber i get, they are all awesome! Was just the ticket. I started spinning some fiber from 'fiber optics' in...
