Well I got my hair cut, but no colour. I’m just not decided enough to actually do it. My hairdresser advises blonde too, so that’s another choice to the mix. So here is the cut.

I know I don’t post a lot of photos, and I’m hoping that I’ll be changing that very soon, as I do enjoy taking photos, but haven’t had a lot of time recently to do so. These are just a few things I’ve been up to recently. First off is a “new to me” discovery. New to [...] . . . → Read More: Photo Catch Up & Lots of Knits!

Here it is! 35 grams all spun. So I’m on par for 15g per day. It really does take a while, though, and I am only spinning for a few minutes at a time in between all the other things I’m trying to get done. But I am loving the colours! . . . → Read More: Tour de Fleece – Day 3

Only 5 grams spun today, but then, I didn’t spend much time behind the wheel. To reach my goal of having all 360g spun and plied, I will need to make my way through at least 15g per day for spinning the singles, which will give me just shy of a week to ply it all.

Well, my plan was 1800m of suri alpaca laceweight. Unfortunately when I was prepping yesterday, the particular fleece I had been working with was not working with me. So the Suri is out for this challenge. I do, however, have approximately 360g of lovely Angorino from Ixchel in the “Cap’n Jack Bunny” colourway (photo courtesy of [...] . . . → Read More: Tour de Fleece 2010

Well.. my shawl is… I’m a little chuffed, to be honest. This is the June cover for the Knitters’ Guild NSW newsletter. It really is an honour to have my work spotlighted like this. . . . → Read More: I’m A Cover Girl!

I’m so busy at the moment! I’m about to start an event called “Tour de Fleece”. Essentially you set a spinning goal, and during they days that the Tour de France is cycled, you spin. There are a couple of days that are ‘rest’ days, so these days you’re not allowed to spin. To prepare [...] . . . → Read More: In A Flurry

This conversation came up on the weekend, and it’s an interesting one to look at. Do you knit what you like to knit, or what you like to wear? Or are you lucky and they’re the same thing? For me, at the moment, it’s all about short projects for me. I have a couple of larger [...] . . . → Read More: Like to Knit vs Like to Wear
