I’m a fiber artist who listens to a lot of baseball and TBTL while I knit, quilt, and spin. I have a podpet named Cosette who keeps me company.
Trying to make progress in this project tonight while listening to the Mariners game. Baseball blocks on front, red/patchwork panels on back. I’ve got one more patchwork panel to sew then I can start sandwiching.

Before and after fiber photos. I did my first try at combing this Tibetan Lamb fiber that I recently washed and dried. It was quite matted/felted so it took a lot of work to comb it. I did about half of the amount I had.

Plied this today. It was the shop color way for Stranded by the Sea for Spin Together. I just didn’t get it done in time for the competition.

I won this gift basket at the Whidbey Spin In, and then won a second basket that I shared with my friends! Loads of fiber and yarn! Plus I bought a braid too. I’m set for awhile.

Trying to find the strength to keep knitting just a little more ribbing on this top that I’ve been working on forEVER. Then it needs an I-cord edging on the neckline and it will finally be done. Acres of stockinette in sock yarn on size 3 needles that I only knit a little each night before bed.

I’m going to bed full, content, and grateful. It’s been a good day.

Sweater nearly finished. Needs more blocking and I’m gonna redo the ribbing on the sleeves. But I’m happy with the color work!
