You may notice that the “On Fire” project is gone from the sidebar. That’s because the Lady Bertram is done! Here’s an up close picture of her blocking. I always seem to block my iteams inside out, and I can’t explain why. Pattern Notes: Pattern: Lady Bertram by the wonderful Wendy Johnson. Available on ravelry [...]

Leslie, Kobe and I had a play-date today. We went out to lunch at Newk’s and while there found out that Jessica was also going to the fling (Yay!). The happiness continued at my house with the dying of yarn, spinning, knitting, popsicle making, photoshoots, and Kobe photo-stalking Leslie and I. The weather was gorgeous [...]

First, I wanted to knit a February Lady sweater: Pattern: February Lady Sweater modified by Flintknits from an EZ original Needles: Size 8 circulars.

I had Thursday and Friday off this past week due to “snow.” In reality, we got very little snow and lots of cold. The cold made it perfect to stay inside and spin the days away. I ended up spinning 4oz of Pigeonroof Studios Roving that I got from the Backwards Loop at the Arkansas [...]

I’ve been spinning a ton on Sundays as I watch the Steelers. Here are some shadowy pics: Specifics are on Ravelry. Now I need to figure out what to do with all the yarn that I’ve been spinning.

There’s a new spinning wheel at Chez LaLa. She is an Ashford Traveler. I’m still trying to pick out a name. Here’s some pics: And Maggie inspecting the new wheel, just to make sure it can be allowed in the house. I’m actually done spinning the fiber that is shown in the pics. It’s my [...]

I’ve been doing a ton of design and deadline knitting recently and have gotten a little bit burned out. I still have some deadlines to meet, but I’m trying to avoid the burnout by taking Sundays to spin or knit whatever I want. There are no rules and no guilt. Here’s a little something I [...]

I’m avoiding knitting work by spinning. Here’s some of what I finished up last Sunday. Above is some roving that I picked up at the Loopy Ewe a while back. If it looks familiar, Leslie also got some. I spun mine into 500 yards of fingering weight 2-ply. I also finished this: It’s the July [...]
