I spin, knit, crochet, weave, and read a lot. I’m using this so I’m not constantly texting my friends with my projects. The dog and cat who own me are also featured occasionally.

The #TourDeFleece2025 hap is happening. I love the look of the barber polled yarn.

Close up of a garter stitch section of the yellow and blue portion of the hap. It shows yellow and blue barber polled yarn knit up. Half a hap going from dark blue to light blue to light green to yellow. Next to it is the yarn cake it’s being knit from.

My #TourDeFleece2025 spin is going to be a hap.

A yarn cake of home spun yarn with a small garter stitch project on it. The yarn is blues and greens and yellows and browns.

I plied my #tdf2025 spin! It didn’t go according to plan - I expected mostly solids and very little barber poleing. I love it. I already have a knit idea for it.

Skein of lace weight yarn in blues, greens, and yellows. The same skein held as a swirl so the blue is more visible.

I’m watching The Reassembler and plying. Cause I am a wild time.

A woman in all black faces the camera with a lace and beaded bright blue shawl over her shoulders. The shawl is a crescent shape. Close up of the widest part of the beaded lace bright blue shawl. A woman holds a bright blue beaded lace shawl as far as her arms reach. Her arms aren’t long enough. You can see the details in the lace because the wall behind her is light.

Thanks to a lovely person who was downsizing, I now have an antique Swedish Hjulbäck wheel and an antique Norwegian wheel (possibly from Hadeland). They spin beautifully.

I think spinning at trivia is going to be a thing now. I got a fair amount done and I might be able to finish this section tomorrow.

A Spanish Peacock Tibetan spindle with a cop of purple fiber lays on a bed of purple and green fiber. Next to it is a small case with a map pattern.

I just had a little kid stop me to tell me *very seriously* that my dog needs another leg because that's how dogs work.

A brown and white pitbull sits in the grass and stares into a tree - probably at a squirrel. She is missing her back left leg.

More spinning at trivia tonight. We did not win but this time felt less weird than last time.

A Spanish Peacock Tibetan spindle sits on a bed of purple and green unspun fiber. There is a cop of purple fiber spun around the spindle. In the background are empty drinks.

I have a lot of plying to do but I can’t do that at work. I can spin at work so…new project. Probably a fractal spin. This is Polwarth from Hilltop Cloud.

Two Spanish Peacock Tibetan spindles sit on a swirl of unspun fiber. The fiber is purple, blue, orange, and yellow.

Spun at trivia last night. A lady came over to tell me she was mesmerized and asked me what I was doing. Not sure if she understood my “I’m spinning wool into yarn” - now I’m pondering other way to say that.

I’m still working on my #TourDeFleece spin. I am very slow at a slow craft.

I don’t usually read autobiographies but I have really enjoyed this one. I’m trying to get my friends to read it.

#books #booksky #ILoveTheLibrary #NeverNotReading #ZarnaGarg #autobiography📚
Quoted text from Zarna Garg’s autobiography This American Woman: A One-In-A-Billion Memoir I get that some people are fashionists. It’s fun for you. You’re good at it and it makes you look good. But for those of us who can’t keep up or who are bored to tears by it, fashion just seems like yet another way to control women by wasting their precious time and money. I mean, what would it look like if someone were trying to do that? Maybe it would look like convincing women to fixate on desperately trying to at attain the unattainable aesthetic ideal. Then changing up that unattainable ideal every “season” so that being “in fashion” becomes this permanent semi-matter state that no woman has the time or money or or perfect body and hair and body hair to keep up with. “No, not that color, this color.” “No, not that type of embroidery, this type.” Who the fuck cares?

Some people have tea pets. I have spindle pets.

I love when lace stops looking like random holes and begins to look like lace.

Beaded lace knitting project illuminated from the back by a computer screen. The lace is starting to look less random.

I spent my final day of #TourDeFleece teaching a support spinning class. At the end of the class, they had singles that held together so that’s a win. I spent the rest of the day knitting.

Blue fiber wrapped around a Russian spindle from Willows Spindles. The spindle and fiber are laying on a dark blue WIP with beads and lace.

My friend got me a statue called Death Spills the Tea. She gave the artist pictures of my spindles so he could add one in. I adore it.

#fiberarts #handspinning #supportspinning #supportedspindle #spindlespinning #yarn #wool 🧶
A 3D printed statue of Death in a black cloak with a white teacup in his lap. On one side of him is a white teapot. On the other side is a tiny teacup spindle with a dark blue cop on it. In front of the statue is the real life inspiration for the spindle.
