Stash-busting + a Halloween Sweater
Something I’ve been trying to do for a while now, but especially with a move (hopefully within the next year) in mind, is use up yarn and fiber in my stash. I have a massive amount of fiber, including whole fleeces, and yarn, but have the classic problem where I don’t always have enough for…

Farm Search
Jeremy and I are starting our farm search and I am so excited. I’m using the term farm a bit loosely – there’s a lot we don’t know, and where we end up will be a combination of what we feel we can handle and what becomes available. As of right now, we’re looking for…

Future Dreaming
Over the past year I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on what my life is like now and what I’d like it to look like five years from now. As it is with most people, a lot has happened in the past four years. In 2020 I became single for the first time in…

16-shaft Macomber Loom
Last month I was able to purchase a 16 shaft, 48″ Macomber loom second hand. This is my dream loom – I had been looking at the cost of a new one, and knew I wanted to save up for that one day when I had the appropriate space for it. But, that plan quickly…

It is named after the weaver who wove a coverlet using the pattern the colorwork is based on. Ann is a top-down raglan that is knit in the round. It is has a colorwork folded-over collar, colorwork…

Stash Down 2023
Sooooooo, my stash is out of control. Especially since picking up spinning and finding more local farms and fiber events, it‘s been so hard to resist buying up what is often limited availability yarn and fiber. But, my apartment is basically turning into a wool dungeon and I’d like to get it under control. So…
