Twisted By Choice: June 2006
http://twistedbychoice.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 02, 2006. Trials and tribulations of a city girl gone country aka Diary from a Prairie girl. Trials and tribulations of a city girl gone country aka Diary from a Prairie girl. My name is Rose and I have a problem. Last summer I told my colleagues I was quitting to become a livestock farmer in Saskatoon, they laughed and didn't believe me. My fibre buddies believed me. Occasionally the power goes off and then the well doesn't work, that still pushes me over the edge. A PO BOX is not a real ad...

Twisted By Choice: November 2007
http://twistedbychoice.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 11, 2007. Starting and Finishing (eventually). We all seem to have projects that take us forever to finish and, occasionally, others that are created with a specific imminent deadline that actually are completed to meet that deadline. For me knitting projects are more likely to fall into the first category. (This is not the case for. At the beginning of October I decided I wanted to weave something to donate to the United Way silent auction at my workplace. I thought that having a de...

Twisted By Choice: November 2006
http://twistedbychoice.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 13, 2006. The Twisted By Choice had all our members in one Province and decided to try silk painting. While I was just a spectator for this event, I thought I would share some of the pictures. The colours in the photos are absolutely brilliant, Jade! The finished scarves were equally bright and colourful. I'm not sure what dyes/paints/metods were used but maybe someone more knowledgeable could elaborate? Posted by Twisted By Choice at 2:11 PM.

Twisted By Choice: February 2006
http://twistedbychoice.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2006. As of Friday night, I was short about 3 hats to finish. But today, the final count is 18! Yes, 18 HATS! The last one was cast on during the car ride out to Vancouver to watch the Closing Ceremonies at the Vancouver Library Square. And I finished binding off just as the Olympic flag was handed over to Mr. Mayor of Vancouver - Sam Sullivan. That's 2 hats over my goal of 16! Anyhow, it's all good.the real winners here will be the kids these hats will be going to, right? I've parti...

Twisted By Choice: March 2006
http://twistedbychoice.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 24, 2006. While strolling the exhibits at the 2005 Black Sheep Gathering, Teal, Rose and Jade were awed by several small rugs in dazzling colours hanging in the Elemental Affects. We found this a relatively easy craft to pick up from the printed instructions Jeane provided. Another site with history and good illustrations is from Mother Earth News. However, our experience has been shown that two months (or more) is a better estimate of how long it takes us to complete a 24" x 40" rug. In Be...

Twisted By Choice: April 2006
http://twistedbychoice.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 11, 2006. Teal, Rose, and Jade spent a full day at the recent Fibrefest in Abbotsford (forgoing valuable shopping time! We spent the morning listening to Ayami explain the process and material requirements and watching her demonstrate the techniques. We picked the colours of our rovings as Ayami distributed the precut silk georgette vests and bags of special fibres (silk, nylon, mohair locks, hemp, etc) that we could use for embellishment. Then with Ayami's help we added more fibre to fill...
