Tour de Fleece 09 — Week 3

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Well, the tour is over and I made some great progress. Got out of my spinning slump and taught myself to use a drop-spindle besides. Here are the results of the final week… I didn’t keep great notes on the dates, but I’ll estimate. Days 17-19 (July 20-22) Monday was a rest day, but I [...]

Farewell to the Rooster

Yarn from recycled bottle caps

Thursday, July 2, 2009

I’m participating in a swap on Ravelry, where I send a package of yarny stuff off to one person, and someone else sends me something. I think there are almost 150 people participating… I’m glad I didn’t have the idea and then have to organize it! Our theme is “shop local”. SO EASY to do [...]
