I have looked everywhere I’ve actually thought to look and my yarn winder is gone. I am also missing my knitting bag that has my nostespinne sitting in the bottom of it. I am center-pull ball incapable at the moment. That man, you know the one; he’s about 6 foot, lean, nice strong features, and [...]

I set aside the cotton spinning for a while and returned to the forlorn looking spindle of lace weight alpaca. Ah, spindling where have you been? This is the same red/brown baby alpaca that I was spinning. It so lovely and soft. It’s weird how wire hard singles can turn into the loftiest softest yarn [...]

“We come in pieces. Take us to your litter.” My husband said “Someone took all the sunshine and tubby toast and left these dead bodies.” Lexi said “Ok, my kitties.” Josey said “Why don’t they have tails?” Greta says “…” And that about sums it up doesn’t it?

Soul Calibur marathons really are something special here in the Meyer household. Look at the love between father and son. Here is the boy-child, note his father’s shiny pate in the background.

I have to be, that’s the only thing that could possibly explain how freakin’ weird things are getting. This year is starting to show a disturbing trend for our family. Since the beginning of the year we’ve managed to have one good family emergency, dilemma, or drama at least once a month. Matt packed up [...]

The weather is confusing today. Yesterday we had a garage sale, we were planning on going through the weekend, but as soon as we decide to take the things out of the carport and set up it starts drizzling. Then we put things away again and it starts shining. It’s one thing for me to [...]

Yes the cashmere is done and washed and dry now. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It turned out to be a good laceweight although I haven’t measured the wpi yet, I’m guessing it to be in the neighborhood of 35-40. It’s more even than I imagined it to be prior to washing [...]

If you’ve visited my other blog you’ve seen this. Which means you understand that I’m reduced to knitting bulky acrylic yarn on large bamboo needles which have proven to be virtually indestructible and sewing. I just don’t tend to spin bulky yarn, I could break into the mohair I suppose and knit a lacy scarf [...]
