I have recently returned to my Ashford Country Spinner 2 wheel and decided to spin some rather fine singles on it. I know that “they” say you can’t do that but I decided “they” were wrong. It is a bobbin led wheel and as long as I take my time, I can put in enough […]

“Antique Traditions” in the Journey to Golden Fleece Museum Show
I was one of the students two years ago in the very first Journey to the Golden Fleece Course. Our final project was supposed to be completed around Christmas 2014. I was up to date with my Module 1-7 yarns but stalled a bit in my Module 8 final project. There was a second graduation […]
a bit of a catch up……
It has been ages since I have posted to my blog. There is a reason. I had an accident in February that crushed my head between and beneath about 40-50 pounds of wood, ice and snow. I dropped the wood box lid with all the snow and such on my head when my head was […]

Fibery Goodness Module Five Yarn
I have finished Module Five yarn, set the twist, photographed it and wove a circle weaving with it. This module was supposed to focus on mastery. Specifically mastering a spinning technique spun previously, showing several variations in small yardage skeins. I did not find the module enjoyable because I personally hate doing small yardages, samples […]
