I somehow managed to schedule an undoable amount of work for this week, and have now had some additional meetings added, so I may be scarce around the internet this week.

Fun things I did this weekend:

wool colorwheel

Dyed a series of wool skeins to match the same colorwheel I did with the Lanaset dyes on silk. Very happy with the results – better pics to follow. And yes, I did take them to the office so that I could admire them to dry.

sprang sash

Finished a project that went very badly for a very long time.

sprang pattern

Learned to make sprang diagrams in Inkscape. I’ll write up a tutorial if anyone is interested. Later, though.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
