Posted on July 27, 2009 by HappyGoth

So. I did much fiber stuff this weekend, although I had planned to do more. Yesterday was blissfully unproductive. I sort of sat around all day in my pajamas, and got nothing real accomplished. But Saturday? Saturday was quite productive. … Continue reading →

*sigh*

Posted on July 21, 2009 by HappyGoth

Now that RUM is over, I don’t quite know what to do with myself (I imagine this is short-lived). I have done some more spinning, and am almost done with half of the 8 oz of vegetable-dyed roving. I’ve also … Continue reading →

Hand. Spun.

Posted on July 15, 2009 by HappyGoth

Take that, people. I have plied yarn, and I have documented its plying (or the aftermath, at least). But first, cats cannot be trusted with sealed bags of loose ends, apparently. This one had a cat-induced hernia: Leftover yarn, yes, … Continue reading →

The choli vexes me

Posted on July 13, 2009 by HappyGoth

First, though, I got a lot done this weekend. I finished one of the Rivendell socks (it’s a little short, but not wholly uncomfortable), plied my first singles (woohoo!) and then sewed up the ghagra and patka for my garb. … Continue reading →

Catching-up.

Posted on July 3, 2009 by HappyGoth

Ah, so much catching-up to do. This month is, apparently NaBloPoMo, which translates to National  Blog Posting Month, wherein you attempt to blog each and every day for some arbitrary reason, and which I have already failed since I didn’t … Continue reading →

Not exciting in that sort of way.

Posted on June 29, 2009 by HappyGoth

My weekend was exciting, but the sort of exciting you’re glad to be done with. I shall explain. The good part was looking after Allison‘s cat, who is awesome and likes my husband much more than she likes me (this … Continue reading →

Posted on May 31, 2009 by HappyGoth

Let me show you them: Good yarn on the left, not-so-good yarn on the right. Yesssssss. This yarn rocks. I’m almost done spinning the fluff! Then I can learn plying. Wooooo plying. SCA yarns. This is what I spin when … Continue reading →

Pretty decent, so far.

Posted on May 30, 2009 by HappyGoth

This weekend has been, at least. I didn’t sleep in this morning, but I have discovered that this is not such a bad thing. I ended up finishing some artwork I had needed to finish, and did 4 loads of … Continue reading →

More yarns.

Posted on May 26, 2009 by HappyGoth

I have spun them. I am another hour’s spinning away from having them finished totally. Actually, it’s probably more like five hours, because there are some knitting projects what need finishing before then, so I’ll finish those and then do … Continue reading →
