I spent the day doing fiber arts stuff. I put some things away (wool, silk, cotton), got some things out, measured some things, cut some things, warped some things. While looking up the ends per inch of my yarn at Webs, I saw these terribly attractive pipe loom variations. Have…

Continue reading →: Now with added destruction
After taking a couple of gray sodden photographs, I decided to save this week’s photo scavenger hunt for the weekend, when I would be at the farm with the good camera and able to spend some time working on it. I think it paid off: I really like a couple…

Thursday morning I read Michelle’s photo challenge list, put fresh batteries into the little camera (brand new rechargeables, clearly marked precharged). You can guess what happened, right? I didn’t get a single picture out of those uncharged batteries. I eventually got them charged, and reinserted into the camera, and today…

It didn’t rain this weekend! At all! I celebrated by committing mayhem with the pruning shears. and also the other side of the house, and started the semi-annual ivy removal project. Can you tell? No really, that’s an “after” – I took all three photos at the same time. Now…

I was so on the ball: I got the photos from Peters Valley Craft Center posted to Flickr the day after I got back. The accompanying text? Not so much. Peters Valley Craft Center is gorgeous, out in the woods in the Delaware Water Gap. Most or all of the…

And I have: Tablets, yarn, tools and equipment of all descriptions, plus a goodly pile of books. I’m off to the Peters Valley Craft Center tonight to get ready for my class tomorrow. Everything came together quite well, I think, despite the short notice. Linda Hendrickson’s help was invaluable, especially…

That was an earthquake! No, really. Twitter tells me it was felt all over the east, very nearly, and into Ohio, including right here in my very own office. There were three separate but close together rumbles in my upstairs office. Nick and the critters completely missed it: so much…
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.
