I went to the craft store to get a new color wheel. Thats all I was going for I swear! Right before I got to the color wheels however, I had to pass a clearance shelf with roving masquerading as yarn.

Over two years ago I bought 7 skeins of single spun brown yarn from my favorite creative resuse store in Oakland, CA. This yarn was obviously left to linger due to the fact that it had not had the veggie

2 or so years ago I found the most incredibly soft coned wool in my favorite reuse craft store, the eastbay center for creative reuse in Oakland, CA. I have finally wound all the cones into cakes as the

My wife and I spent sunday afternoon walking around Kingston, NY after visisting the Homosteading (yes I typed it right) expo at the Hudson Valley LGBT Center. This place has such an artistic vibe as well

After getting a nice long soak and a quick fulling in the drying for 5 minutes this sweater is done. In hindsight I should have done some waist decreasing but come next winter I don't think she will mind

In hindsight I should have told my wife to help me find soft wool YARN! This is little orphan Annie. She is a 5 day old lamb whose mother could not be determined. Not to walk away from her flock. our lys

I am not even done with this one and I am already thinking of the next sweater (or hat or socks or scarf) that I will be making. Every time I try to arrange what I will make in order I get surprised by

3 months ago I found 2 boxes of 9" cut fabric at my local reuse store. After donating 1 boxes worth of fabric to charity, I still had enough for 5 queen size quilts, 8 throws and some cushions. While

This weekend my goal is simple: finish the body of this sweater! If I have to avoid distractions like cleaning and grocery shopping so be it. I'm on a mission!

Ok. So my wife liked that tunic I made for myself so much she wanted one of her own. Fine. Has anyone else ever gotten "suggestions" on their knitting projects from the non knitters they are

Think I caught something at work but I am off today so I am going to plant myself on this couch, sip my tea, keep knitting this sweater and admire my boot/house socks!

I found an old knitting bag with a big surprise inside!! I found a batch of Rowan Denim yarn, a skein of tweed from Maggie knits, a cake of Ragi and two unknown balls of yarn that feel and look great but

I always believe in an instant gratification project prior to a big one (like the sweater my wife now wants after seeing my tunic). I used a hand dyed supper-wash Moreno my wife bought two years ago because

Well, the sweater grew a bit as I did not want to over agitate the piece. It still fits well, is warm and so soft! I am now finding new patterns I can use my hand spun in for the yoke.

I started this sweater in California and have now finished it in New York! My handspun in those awesome greens with commercial yarn for the rest of the sweater. Its so warm and I can't wait to wear it

Between traveling across the country, starting a new job and getting over the mother of all colds, I must say I am impressed with how much of this I have managed to finished. Wife still has not wound her

After a long day of traveling from California this is my first morning in Upstate New York. This is what I saw out of my window. Looks cold. Got yarn?!
