Marion, I’ll be in touch about your new sock yarn. (Hm… you might have to help me figure out international shipping.) For anyone who’s […]

Random update

Workspace

I had a three-day weekend (Columbus Day, a US government holiday that almost nobody actually gets off), and spent it doing all kinds of interesting things: dyeing a batch of Blue Faced Leicester roving (badly, I think), spinning the camel-silk, enjoying the beautiful weather, reading trashy novels. Also cleaning the house some, and working on […]

And I’m back…

Sorry about that! Something went wrong with the web hosting early Sunday afternoon. It was of course my fault because I changed these administrative settings (which I have never touched and have no reason to alter). In other words, they did an upgrade somewhere and it didn’t propagate correctly. And they quite possibly never would […]

I’m baaack!

Tired, but no longer dirty (hey, hot running water!), and proud owner of large mounds of dirty laundry. It rained, you see. For days. It doesn’t matter what kind of tent you have, camping in the rain will make everything wet and muddy. The washing machine will be running until Wednesday, most likely. My vacation […]

Vacation!

Phiala is on vacation. I will be back in a week and a half with new stringy goodness for you all. I’m packing light – I’m taking the jaywalkers to hopefully finish, and a knitted tank top that I’m designing, and a spindle and some silk, and a couple of colors of linen to do […]
