Sheep and Wool, Part 2

Posted on May 13, 2011 by HappyGoth

In which we actually go to the Sheep and Wool festival. We got up all bright and early and, eschewing a wholesome breakfast in favor of delicious bagels (vacation is carte blanche for that). The first year we went, it … Continue reading →

Wait, this is a craft blog.

Posted on October 26, 2010 by HappyGoth

Right? Aha. Yeah. So I really have been doing things. In fact, lots. (Which is why I haven’t been blogging). Thing one: This is really what’s been taking up my time. I’m having company soon, and my house needs cleaning, … Continue reading →

Hi!

Posted on July 15, 2010 by HappyGoth

Whee. Yay for non-consistent blog updating. Or something. Anyway. Life is huge right now, and I’m sort of unmotivated (trust me, you’ve fared better than LJ, which has heard me whine pretty consistently lately). But I did stuff. I have: … Continue reading →

Stuff done: Spinning

Posted on May 17, 2010 by HappyGoth

I have been a bad blogger lately, but I’ve been a great spinner. Following on the heels of my incredible sock success (the 4-day Monkeys), I decided to get busy spinning yarn. First, I finished off that logwood-dyed wool I … Continue reading →

Sometimes I don’t think – a photoessay

Posted on April 14, 2010 by HappyGoth

Well, actually I think all the time. But not always in ways that are useful. Take this past weekend, for example. I have been looking at images of women from the 1500s in India, and they’ve got lovely henna’d hands. … Continue reading →

Fiber Friday!

Posted on August 7, 2009 by HappyGoth

Since I am without the means to increase my stash (and really, given the space alloted for said stash, I shouldn’t increase it, even if I have the means), I’m starting this new thing to live vicariously through the internet … Continue reading →

Not much.

Posted on July 31, 2009 by HappyGoth

Which is what I got done last night. So. I came home Wednesday and the husband said, “Your computer won’t turn on.” Well, crap. I tried it and lo and behold, he was right (not that I doubted him at … Continue reading →

More fiber? No, thanks.

Posted on July 28, 2009 by HappyGoth

I have accomplished much by spinning, plying, and washing my first handspun. It is lovely. However, this bit of accomplishment is dwarfed by the sheer amount of roving I have left over (which compared to some is not a lot, … Continue reading →

Real fiber news!

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 →

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 →
