Spinning a Yarn: February 2007
http://spinningayarn1.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Spinning and knitting projects in process. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Dust to Dust . er. Mud to Mud? On Monday we did the last Adopt-a-School program: Mali Mud Cloth. Judy, who just returned from Africa, was an excellent presenter, telling the kids about the geography of Africa, the chemistry of dye and mordants, and the symbolism of the African art. She even let Barbara and me do our own Mali mud cloths! Friday, February 23, 2007. Old man winter blows. Tuesday, February 20, 2007. OK I know when I'm l...

Spinning and knitting projects in process. Thursday, November 29, 2007. I'm ready to start knitting the supposedly self-striping socks. Kate helped me pick some colors yesterday and I dyed the hanks.

Spinning a Yarn: February 2008
http://spinningayarn1.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Spinning and knitting projects in process. Monday, February 11, 2008. I've been thinking about using a new name for my blog for a while and I finally did it. In the future, please view my ramblings at Wool and Bull. See you over there! The Camera is Back! HOWEVER, DH said we might as well have the old one repaired to use as a back up camera and it arrived a few minutes ago by FedEx all repaired and servicable, if not exciting. Last, but certainly not least, I wanted to show you the beautiful gift my frie...

Spinning a Yarn: November 2007
http://spinningayarn1.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Spinning and knitting projects in process. Friday, November 30, 2007. The stripes are coming! If you ignore the poor dye job and the blobs of white wax, you can see stripes! Since my poor dyeing technique and the unfortunate wax decision don't really have much to do with the outcome I was testing - the striping effect - I consider this a success! I expected some variation, but twice as much? Surely my math wasn't that bad . Oh, yes, it was. Thursday, November 29, 2007. Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Kate'...

Spinning a Yarn: January 2008
http://spinningayarn1.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Spinning and knitting projects in process. Wednesday, January 16, 2008. Since the last post was really light on pictures - none - I thought I'd add a couple here to show you the yarn I'm spinning right now. I sent. Susan of "Susan's Spinning Bunny". A picture of the yarn I made with her Targhee roving in her Hibiscus colorway and she put it on her shop's website. Cool! So much spinning, so little time. Tuesday, January 8, 2008. I've been spinning the Five Fiber Sampler I got from Susan's Spinning Bunny.

Spinning a Yarn: May 2007
http://spinningayarn1.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Spinning and knitting projects in process. Wednesday, May 9, 2007. Saturday morning, then, I slept in. I got to the Festival around noon and immersed myself in the sights and smells of utter wool abandonment. Too much hyperbole? Not really. It was heaven on earth for the fiberholic. The Festival was HUGE, as usual. It took me two full days even to SEE it all. They had everything that a fiber lover could love. They had sheep and alpacas. The auction on Saturday called to my frugal (stingy) tendencies and ...

Spinning a Yarn: The Ultimate Stash Container
http://spinningayarn1.blogspot.com/2007/12/ultimate-stash-container.html
Spinning and knitting projects in process. Tuesday, December 4, 2007. The Ultimate Stash Container. I finally finished it yesterday. Now I not only have a huge stash, but I have a lovely place to put it - a place that celebrates the importance of stash in my life. Now my goal is to wrangle it down into the basement/studio and only the roving that will fit in it gets to stay! Although the chest is huge, choosing only the wool that will fit in it will be a challenge. Url=http:/ www.23planet.com]Onl...Great...

Spinning a Yarn: October 2007
http://spinningayarn1.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Spinning and knitting projects in process. Tuesday, October 23, 2007. The Prodigal Knitter Returns. Okay, okay . I haven't totally blog faded. I've been THINKING about blogging - just not doing much about it. Then, I decided I had too much catching up to do to do it properly. Finally, I was listening to a L&V. Episode and Lime said she had been putting off blogging for that very reason. She was very sensibly advised to forget about catching up and just start again. So, here we go. I'm just not patient en...

Spinning and knitting projects in process. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Now that the vacation to England is over and the Yarn Harlot has returned to Toronto, I guess life needs to settle down to normal. I've made good progress on the Sample Stitch Kimono (SSK). Sunday, April 22, 2007. Return of the Yarn Harlot! Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, returned to Kentucky last weekend for the Bluegrass Festival of Books. Who I met last year -.
