First, I got a loom! Kromski Harp Rigid Heddle. I’ve named it Cameron. Since my wheel is Ferris, I figured my loom should be Cameron. I suppose the next thing I buy I have to name Simone. myloom And here’s my first weaving project. firstweaving It’s stalled out however, because I’ve been spending all my [...]

So, April is almost over, so I figured I should post. I’ve spun a little. I’ve knit a little. I’ve grown seeds into seedlings and then had the birds eat them after I put them in their permanent pots and decided that I wasn’t going to have bird feeders on the porch anymore during spring [...]

Winter has totally gotten me down. We still have piles of snowing trying to melt and it’s hit 60 every day this week…. I need more happy in my life. But My Favorite Thing about living in Maryland is coming soon! Kite Festival at the end of this month also, which we are going to [...]

So while not posting, I have been knitting. I finally finished up Flore, in the Red Pepper colorway. chilipepperflore It’s a fiddly knit. Not overly taxing, but fiddly in the doing and fiddly in the finishing. It is very cute however, and something I’ve wanted to knit since before I knew how to knit at [...]
