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.

Another Loom
Back of loom
Front of loom
This is a child loom that I got for free. Well, not quite but close enough. I had to cover shipping which was less then $20. I saw one similar on Ebay for $50. The lady was offering it free on Ravelry to the first person that wanted it. I'm on Ravelry all the time and saw the post. She said it had been in storage for 30 years and it looks like it. It's for my daughter her got into weaving when she tried my Glimakra. I'll take all the yarn off once I get a chance to figure out how I will have to warp it.

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.
