From Fluff to Stuff
Tour De Fleece. I’m was on the #campwooligan team. I did quite a bit for Tour de Fleece. I did a 500 + yard skein of fingering weight (2 ply) that I spun up from rolags I made from some farm merino from Leaflivestock and some stuff I dyed. It’s gorgeous. Also from Leaflivestock, I spun up a 3 ounce Merino columbia and tencel batt in some lovely grays. I spun up a 4 ounce braid of bfl in very muted but gorgeous colors from Hens and Chicks fiber, I also spun up about 3 ounces of rolags that were Ruthie themed. That turned out quite lovely. I did 4 ounces of rolags from Gritty Knits. THey are wildly colored. I love them. THey are very tweedy and multicolored. I spun up some weird rolags I made (will explain). Last but not least, I spun up some locks! Those are fun!
My husband also bought me a tensioned lazy kate.
Ooh Shiny!
Terri: I thought I would talk about a couple things. FIrstly, our trip to Chicago and the yarn shopping! We made it to two stores the Bloomin’ Spindle and Knit1. Both lovely stores and I loved my acquisitions. I will elaborate and you will as well I’m sure.
Spincycle Yarns- scroll down to see the great things this company offers their employees. Then definitely do some shopping.
Second: Last weekend I went to the Fargo Fiberfest. I found a few things I really liked and picked them up. I will elaborate on that too. This year had much less fiber than last. More yarn. I knew someone who had CVM would be there, but I wanted fiber unfortunately all they brought was yarn and I wasn’t really looking for yarn because I definitely scratched that itch in Chicago.
Libby: Yarn I got from Bloomin’ Spindle and knit1. No idea what I will do with any of these yarns
Farmers daughter - reminisce in Come an get your love 3 skeins Montana and wy ramboulet
Plucky knitter - legacy bulky in happy glamper - shaniko wool
Bought a couple of patterns to get looking at:
Crochet bucket hat - easy design. I spoke about this previously, gonna pick fall colors I think?
Golden rod wrap top - earthtricks, so cute pattern comes with option for sleeves and hood, I may try a non-hooded sleeveless one to start. Not sure on color yet I think i covered this one a LONG LONG time ago.
I also ordered a kit from Earthtricks, comes with an assortment of yarn in fun colors and thicknesses and 1 pattern. I think I chose the Unicorn fluff color (blues/purples) and the pattern I chose was the cat sith beanie
Leisure Suit-
Terri-Midsummer Murders has been put on the back burner. I’m so deep into Criminal Minds. I think it’s because I’m not paying a ton of attention. I’m sometimes reading, and also usually knitting and doing other things.
My Life is Murder has a new season up. I watch that one each time a new episode is uploaded. Also House o
