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.

Caking Yarn
Winding up yarn for future WIP. The gray yarn is for felted slippers. Hubby managed to wear a hole in the last pair. Since he finances my knitting and spinning habit, I will knit him a new pair. The other 2 variegated ones are for a Kallara. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kallara I've been trying to fight off the urge to cast on but I really love Ambah's patterns (I tested 2 of her patterns). So its a losing battle. The purple is WM and is for another test knit.
Started another WIP.
This will be a felted slipper. My go to pattern is http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/felt-slippers-for-adults The hard part is figuring how long to put it in my front load washer. It probably would be easier with a top load washer. Last time I felted them too long and then end up child size. These will be for me or the other purple lover depending on what size they come out.
