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.

Four New Stockings!
Yeah! They are done. I figured out why I don't sew as much as I knit or spin. First of all there is all that ironing. I HATE to iron. In fact that was one of the things I told hubby when we first got married. I don't iron. LOL! There is equipment to deal with. The sewing machine has to be on a table. Not like knitting or spinning which I can do out in the Great Room with the rest of the family. I also had issues with the sewing machine and all the bottom thread kept bunching up and I had to rip it out and do it again. It didn't work and I tried 2 more times and ended up changing thread before it would work right. There is all that pinning. You spend more time cutting and pinning then you actually spend sewing.
I need to plan to do at least one project a month sewing though. I have a bin full of fabric that is future clothing for the family.
