Stash enhancement

By -
On March 8th this year, there was this fiber thing that my friend Tina put together
called "Stir Crazy Stitch and Spin" down in Hudson NY. It was held at the Hudson Opera House

What's this got to do with stash enhancement? You say....

Tina had door prizes I won this lovely purple bit of fiber from
Jessica
Also, seekay was there with this bit of Merino I could not pass up.


Yes, I believe that I can spin this
now.

Wadda ya think T?

    I thought I was the one who *bought* the purplish fiber from Jessica. I thought you won the lovely White/green/brown from her. No matter. Pick which one you love, and I'll love the other. Easy when it's fiber from Jessica.

    That was a representative color. I could not/did not get a decent snap of it

    Awesome! I had no idea you had a blog going on, good for you. I think you're a good enough spinner and then some. The trick is to find your comfort zone, draft or pre-draft etc. and just go for it.

SKI HICKORY!

My last birthday, I went skiing. This is how I always spend my birthday. However this time I went back to one of my favorite places in the 'Dax Hickory Ski Center For a place that's been around since 1946!; it remains a little known area outside of Warrensburg NY They re-opened 2009-2010 after having a hiatus of a few years. First things first, there are no chair lifts at this mountain. This fact may turn away most skiers. POMA LIFT EXAMPLE Don't let the this scare you off. POMA is one of the faster lifts. The only drawback that I found was for every down there is an up. You ski the mountain both ways. Secondly, in the era of global warming, It's natural snow only... So you get what you get. Ski Report 2-17-2014 My wife and I got up there around noon, I don't normally ski longer than four hours since I have had broken my right leg back in 1991 at Mt Baldy (long story there) She found the place delightful and rustic. I had plan

I was given a late birthday gift over the weekend by a non-knitter, my friend Flame . Just what I want to do, knit in the dark. NOT Okay, good idea, but obviously she is overconfident in my knitting ability. I don't think I can knit in the dark... not yet. Speaking of which, I am still trying to come up with a pattern for that damned bulky STICKY hand spun that I mentioned here . I cast on 80 stitches on 10.5 circs in hopes of a hat. NO, bad gauge, bad gauge. Looked like a hat for an ogre, Remind me again why I knit? Out it came, all of it frogged back to much amusement of the cat. I started this blog in hopes of getting input into my creative process and maybe create a small circle of friends. Meanwhile on the tech horizon, I am reminded of what I get to deal with most days when I walk into work. It's broken, they want it fixed now. Today it's email being down. Also a pc that needed to be "rolled back" so it could boot. Ah, this is why I knit. To work with my he
