This is my blog for my new business. I've been knitting since Feb 2009 after a break of 15+ years. I first learned from books but picked up again since my friend dyed the most beautiful yarns and I just couldn't collect them. I started to spin in Aug 2010 on a spindle and then on a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started to weave Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. I've been test knitting since 2011 and a sample knitter since 2016.

Knitting, Weaving, Spinning, Desiging...Oh My!
First of all, this arrived in the mail yesterday. I look forward to getting a closer look. It's got some great general ideas for patterns. Like what size to knit for a man's hat.
This is on my loom right now and I'm sad to say I haven't weaved any more since this picture was taken. I need to finish it up.
I'm happy to say that I finally finished this cowl which was 11 inches of the same 4 line pattern. I get bored easily so I tend to have a lot of WIP (works in progress) so I can switch it up.
I just finished spinning this yarn. Now I need to n-ply (Navajo ply or chain ply) it. I tend to run out of yarn if I 2 or 3 ply it. I tried to ply it from a cake but it kept getting tangled up.
I should be working on my business plan and getting stock ready for the Etsy site. I have lots of rolags but need to weave some scarves and knit up some baby items for the shop.
