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.

No Test Knitting For Me!
I did test knit a hat before Christmas but otherwise no test knitting for me. I finally finished a test knit I started last year. Luckily the author wasn't in a rush for me to finish. There wasn't anything wrong with the pattern. Just 14 repeats of 12 rows. I get bored easily so I kept putting it down. I also ran out of yarn. You would think with over 1000 yards I would have enough. NOPE! I only did 13 repeats of the first chart and then only 3 out of 7 repeats of the 2nd chart. I ran out as I was casting off. Luckily I had some handspun that was about the same color and thickness.
