My Forays into Fiber and other Geeky Things

Revisiting last years post of it's not rocket science. I forgot to get an action shot of Phaedre in action. She was being all sorts of balky yesterday on the wood floor of the Athens Cultural Center The uprights were bouncing all over the place and it appears that her wheel has gotten even more off center than usual. I think I need to tear her down and straighten her wheel. but she still works. I was the only man that was spinning yesterday it's odd, being literally the "odd" man out in a room of 30 +/- Women 4 Men and just 2 of us men-folk actually play with yarn and fiber. Guys, pick up your pointy sticks!!! We are losing the race and the skills. Speaking of skills, on the radar for the last few years has been this little gem from instructables.com Low power media server. Parts? I have two slightly dead laptops one of which could turn into this... or this But, considering were I live and the age of the house I am leaning toward the second of the two. after all it...

Okay, you got me, since I last posted, I finished this Merino from SeeKay Colorway "Spring Green" I loved working with her fiber. Took you to work to see what my desk really looks like. and rode my bike to Lock 2 of the Erie canal (There is NO lock 1!) I also went to the Woolgathering at Thatcher Park I am short of words this month because I have been relatively silent and more contemplative as of late. I have been spinning more and knitting less I have become enamored with Corriedale roving and seem to purchase it every chance I get. Lyman's Sleighbell Farm 4oz $5.oo A nice brown that I am going to blend with another bit of the Cory Cross that is from Tina to see what happens. That's all for now, as I said, summer is close and I become word-less. Until next time. Computermechanic.
