Twist & Shout: An Ode to Low-Tech
http://twistandshout-spin.blogspot.com/2009/08/ode-to-low-tech.html
Journey of a new spinner - experiences, inspiration, insights for those interested in yarn and fiber arts. Friday, August 28, 2009. An Ode to Low-Tech. Of course I think about spinning A LOT, and today the thought I had is that I like it partly because it is low-tech. That's what flashed in my mind as I was pumping gas - yes, pumping gas. Gee. I was thinking), I'm enjoying this SO much more - or at least it's less annoying - than when I fill up at one of those places with the gas pumps that. Well, Ive be...

Have Ewe Any Wool?: July 2006
http://vikingmama.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Have Ewe Any Wool? Wednesday, July 26, 2006. This past week I've done TONS of spinning and not too much knitting. Towards the 5 hrs. per week I committed to do for the Summer Spinning Challenge, I completed 8 hours of spinning.and that's in addition to the 2 1/2 hrs. of spinning I did on Monday with my regular spinning group! The 8 hours were divided between my drop spindle and two of my wheels (Lennie 2 and Louie). I spent about 1 1/2 hrs working with the drop spindle and 6 1/2 hours with my wheels.

Twist & Shout: Autumn Leaves
http://twistandshout-spin.blogspot.com/2009/08/autumn-leaves.html
Journey of a new spinner - experiences, inspiration, insights for those interested in yarn and fiber arts. Saturday, August 22, 2009. This yarn I spun from fiber I dyed at a dyeing workshop at Misty Mountain Farm. We used chemical dyes - sorry, I don't remember what colors I used for this one and I'm not sure what type of sheep the wool is from. This is still my favorite! August 27, 2009 at 8:11 PM.

Spinster Beth: August 2015
http://spinsterbeth.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2015. A Sweltering Summer Knit. It's so hot and humid! Not perfect weather for knitting, but I'm determined to get this fabulous Lace Poncho. Finished by cool weather. Which here in the Baltimore area, is just a few weeks away! Cool weather at night, anyway.). I'm just about halfway done. I have to say I don't at all like the border pattern. It doesn't match the lace at all. The pattern is lovely, though. The yarn is acrylic- I've never blocked acrylic before. Links to this post. Well,...

Journey of a new spinner - experiences, inspiration, insights for those interested in yarn and fiber arts. Saturday, July 25, 2009. At the homespun yarn party (Savage Mills, MD, March 2009), I purchased a wool and bamboo fiber. I decided to try it on my drop spindle. Once I had enough I wanted to test plying it, and decided to try a four-ply yarn. This means four different threads plied together. I swatched it, and you can see the result in the photo. New Party Tricks with Spinning Wheels. 5 Continued tr...

Journey of a new spinner - experiences, inspiration, insights for those interested in yarn and fiber arts. Thursday, December 18, 2008. Laura's holding onto my singles while I'm helping Sue, so we get Sue straightened out and then I have to hold her singles. Then of course I feel stupid for having Laura continue to hold on to mine, so look what I end up with. I can hear you now - run, do not walk to therapy and. Well, I'll tell you.spinning IS. Therapy. It's either the wool or me, baby. My husband Dave a...
