Fiber Star: Chipotle Beef Stew with Root Veggies
http://ibrakeforyarnhooksandbooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/chipotle-beef-stew-with-root-veggies.html
Something to Dye for. Friday, October 11, 2013. Chipotle Beef Stew with Root Veggies. I am learning all kinds of things and getting to rub elbows with fantastic cooks and chefs. Ergo I am more inspired to be in the kitchen. Tuesdays dinner plan that turned into lunch was a goal to use up some things: an unlabeled roast with little marbling and a nice fat cap, local peppers, sweet potatoes and some celeriac. 2lbs roast - I trimmed the fat cap off and cut into cubes. 2-3 tbl - local lard. 2 tbl tomato paste.

Something to Dye for. Friday, September 28, 2012. Fiber Friday - What's Dyeing? So if you happen to read this in any kind of blog reader. Mea culpa. I accidentally posted it earlier this week and updated later in the week and did it again. Sigh. Now it's posting today even tbhough it's not Firday. I give up. Fiber Friday comes early. Anyways, I'm dyeing some yarn to knit Solstice Stockings for the family. I thought it was about time to have something colorful and fibery to put goodies in this year. I've ...

Fiber Star: Fiber Friday: Core Spinning
http://ibrakeforyarnhooksandbooks.blogspot.com/2012/11/fiber-friday-core-spinning.html
Something to Dye for. Friday, November 9, 2012. Fiber Friday: Core Spinning. The results of my hard work: about 20 yards for each skein. From left to right skein 1, 2 3, 4. Fiber: Punta. Carded on the drum carder in layers: yellow, green, blue not necessarily in the order. It wasn't much more than .6 oz on half the carder. I attenuated the batt before spinning. I dyed this last week. A little blurry but you can kind of see the colors after I attenuated the batt. Core: Added twist to the right until the c...

Something to Dye for. Friday, August 31, 2012. Foodie Friday: Husk Cherry Salsa. Have you ever heard of husk cherries. They are new to me. They look like mini tomatillos and they are a relative. They are cross between sweet and tart. I tried some at the farmers market last Saturday and fell in love. So of course I bought some and came home and made this fresh salsa. 1/2 pint husk cherries. 4 small tomatoes finely chopped. 1/2 red onion finely chopped. 2 small cloves garlic finely diced.

http://ibrakeforyarnhooksandbooks.blogspot.com/2013/04/yarn-school-spring-2013-part-1.html
Something to Dye for. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Yarn School Spring 2013 - Part 1. Wow it's been a while since I updated my blog. I've been busy dyeing fiber and spinning. I'm doing more drop spinning than wheel spinning. I have plans lots of plans and never enough time. I got a part-time job and still homeschooling at least one of the kids. I wanted to share all my goodies from Yarn School this year. I got to go with a great fiberista friend. Who has finally figured out I am weird. It took her a while.

Something to Dye for. Getting Started Homeschooling in Kansas. So how cool is this you can make pages for your blog that are kind of about you pages or helpful pages. So here's to one about getting started homeschooling. I've meant to do this for a long time. I'm borrowing most of the information from a recent blog post. This I can keep in the same space and edit as needed. If you knit, spin and like to cook you might like my blog too. Maybe I'll be around more often this year and maybe not. First you br...

Something to Dye for. Friday, October 19, 2012. Fiber Friday: The Merino Saga. A while back I got some some purple merino and tussah silk in a trade thinking I would spin some lace yarn. Using about 3 ounces of the purple merino you see above and an ounce of the tussah silk in the lower left corner. I made some batts. I got bored spinning so fine so I chain plied what I had spun so far and set the yarn aside. 3ply, chain plied, over the fold, short forward draw, no twist in drafting zone. One of the love...
