Hello Fiber Arts Friday Fans! Last spring I had helped our local humane society re-home an alpaca. While I was there they were kind enough to give me several bags of wool sheared from their sheep the weekend before. I made the promise then that I would process the wool and sell the yarn and [...] Hello Fiber Arts Friday followers. So why the Oops? Well you might notice a lack of photos on today’s post. Why? Because I sent my cell phone through the washing machine. It has been thoroughly cleaned. I let it sleep in rice overnight but it was still dripping by morning so I set the phone on a [...] I think I fell into a 3 week Fiber Arts Friday void. But I’m back and boy have I been busy while I was gone. Here’s a whole bunch of finished projects. 1. Red and Green Scarf. This was made out of our own alpaca, hand spun/dyed into a thick bulky yarn. I knit it [...] Welcome back FAF fans! This week I’ve been working on what I think will be a mat for a baby.

I had some left over yarn from that ball so I decided to knit up an ear warmer [...] Hey Fibery Fans! So economy wise everything went to hell back in 2008-ish but this is the first year I’m actually feeling it. When things crashed people cut back and shopped locally and vacationed locally so my business actually picked up. Last year I felt a bit of a dip but this year has [...] Hello everyone! Welcome back to Fiber Arts Friday. Today I have a little tutorial for you to make these little skein Christmas Ornaments. When complete they are about 4″ long and come with their very own hanging loop. If you want any close ups, just click on the photos. So here we go! Step 1: [...] Happy FAF and Happy Anniversary to my hubby! Together for 10, married for 5. Little did the poor guy know in that short time we’d own a farm, raise horses and alpacas and I’d turn into a fiber nut like his mother. Shhhh I didn’t say that last part. This weekend the weather is supposed to be [...] |
