http://houseofyarncakes.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Tina's International House of Yarncakes. I do things to yarn! Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Something old, something new,. Something from the garden, and something blue. Not much knitting this week - it's all the time I spend thinking up clever word play, you see. Actually I have another dissertation meeting with my advisor, and I feel very close to a topic AND very confused at the same time, so I'm actually doing lots of reading (like I'm supposed to! Pretty (my first eye of partridge heel! My mom got her...

Tina's International House of Yarncakes. I do things to yarn! Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Buying all that fiber got me energized, and I finished up the silk I was spinning on the spindle:. It's not the best yarn in the universe, but it's kinda pretty, AND it's the first decent thing that's come off the spindle for me. Luckily, I seem to be on a roll:. The merino/tencel in Mahogany from Spunky Eclectic. Is spinning up gorgeously. I'm actually considering keeping it single-ply. Madness! Sunday, May 27, 2007.

the stitch witch: The Yarn Harlot has tiny feet
http://thestitchwitch.blogspot.com/2005/05/yarn-harlot-has-tiny-feet.html

I met Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (aka The Yarn Harlot) at the Sheep and Wool festival last weekend. Why didn't I take a picture of her face? I ended up with a substantial amount of roving (some from the Sheep Shed people-Merino/Tencel in "Pumpkin Spice") and a copy of Spin It: Making Yarn From Scratch,. I bought a marvelous, felted, teal hat, an exciting find ...

Now, if only I could manipulate time. Posted by erica @ 3:29 PM. Nashua, New Hampshire, United States. View my complete profile. Its not a sock.
