This handknit scarf is from handspun, and hand dyed mohair (angora goat), and chiengora (Samoyed dog) fibers. Normally it’s not cold enough here for me to wear it, because chiengora is 10 times warmer than wool, but I love pulling it out! It’s my favorite scarf, and I’m proud to have made it [...]

I don’t spin enough anymore, and seems when I do spin, I never finish projects. Why do ya’ll think I keep making new spindles ;) heh My spinning wheels are packed away, and I really need to pull the ashford back out, now that it’s getting colder. I bought the jumbo [...]

Sunday I forced (Literally!) the family down to Eugene for my annual favorite fiber fix, the Black Sheep Gathering fiber festival. Black Sheep Gathering = fiber art fans heaven. Literally!

Mmmmmmm…. Spinner porn. Gimme a piece of that fleece!

When I grow up, I want a creamy chocolate lamb like this:

Oh man.. I’m behind on everything it seems! I’m really getting good at this :)

This is a rough sketch for a drop spindle design I’ve been wanting to make.

I’d been having a lot of trouble with this challenging pose, then was inspired by a similar design done by the amazing Foxfeather put on a drum. They were able to take the off angles of the circle posed dogs, [...]

it just goes on and on my friend
some person started spinning it
not knowing what it was
and she’ll continue spinning it forever
just because
this is the project that doesn’t end….

I started this project before my daughter was born. Someone asked if I did custom yarn spinning (I posted on a local list asking for pet fur [...]

These have actually been done a while, but I totally spaced them during the holiday rush. Whoops! I seem to be good at burying things on my desk and forgetting them ;)

A black tri, and brindle Cardi herding sheep.

This spindle is for sale- I’ll be listing it on etsy eventually, or you can [...]

Tomorrow is the big rat event in Seattle, so I put together a bunch of rat pieces. Here’s a batch of pendants I made for sale at the show and etsy:

I’ve been really bad about keeping rat items in stock lately, so need to work on adding more ratty designs to my general inventory. [...]

I just listed my first drop spindle on etsy, a Siberian Husky sled dog team!

The test yarn (Not included!) is actual husky fur! I figured it would add to the authenticity of the spindle ;)
I love it, and now just need to get photos of the current customs I have almost done! [...]
