I’ll say it – I’ve been a bad, bad blogger! With the videocast that we do weekly, I tend to get lazy and just tell myself that I’ll catch y’all up during the next episode, but that doesn’t always happen. So here are some little pieces of my life that don’t really fit as podcast [...]

In this episode, Leslie pretty much calls everything by the wrong name (knitpicks instead of signature, cast on instead of spin, needle instead of flyer, etc) and neither of us have any real knitting progress to show you. Some weeks are like that, I guess. Shownotes coming soon! Laura’s WIPs: Norwegian Rose socks out of [...]

My (semi) private goal for the longest time has been to spin a 3 ply fingering weight yarn. Why? Because I’m competitive, but also because I tend to knit mostly with a fingering weight yarn. This weekend, I finally met my goal! I started with 4oz of Magic Stix yarn (no longer in business) in [...]

Here it is – Episode 11. I had many titles for this one. The One With Leslie’s 3 Chins. The One Where My Hair is Unkempt. The One With Lots of White Space. However, I decided to instead focus on the positive and name it The One at Chez LaLa. I hope you enjoy, and [...]

I am participating in the CJ Kopec Nov/Dec Put Your Own Twist on It Spin A Long (SAL) and I’m super excited. Since I’ve been spinning for over a year now, I’m getting to the point that I can spin a consistent thickness. It’s not quite as thin as I’d like it yet, but it’s [...]

I’ve been spinning more recently. Spinning Guild meeting was on Sunday, and as of Saturday I had half of 4oz spun. Saturday night, I finished the other 2 oz and plied, and ended up with a respectable skein of about 160 yards of a Yarn Love colorway: I really liked the richness of the colors [...]
