I have been going to this event every year for at least seven years, but for some reason I never mentioned it to you guys. What is wrong with me??

I really enjoy this sale. I look forward to it every October. Fall is in the air and I am so close to to some unique, handcrafted yarny goodness. Real close. Walking distance close. What could be better? Well, it happening more than once a year WOULD be better… but I digress.

I picked up some lovely chunky handspun yarn this year. It was spun by Molly Gerhard. YUM.

I’ll leave you with photos of some of the various handmade goodies I saw.

Thanks for reading this far.

Stashbusting!

So from my last post you can understand that I have had enough of little stitches. Stitches that like to disappear or multiply at will. Not to mention following a stitch pattern… that can wear on a person too. I needed a refreshing change so I went trolling around my stash and found five random […]

Knitting hell…

in which I am currently residing, is causing me to grind my teeth and come up with all sorts of highly offensive and, if I may say so, quite creative language which I am shouting in my head as I am in a coffee shop as I write this and not at home, where, thankfully, […]

Holla Knits Mini Collection Competition

OMG, people. I did something crazy. I got word of a competition hosted by Holla Knits for a mini collection. Seeing as I had an idea brewing for quite sometime, I decided to go for it. Even though this put me in a bit of a panic I really did not have a good excuse […]

The need for…

chunky, bulky, FAST knitting has overcome me once again. I go through these cycles, as I am guessing you do too, where all my knitting projects converge or conspire and take on a certain sameness that makes me not want to knit any of them. I haven’t touched this in a month. Since my last […]

Spinning Hemp

It’s my first time giving hemp a try. I broke into the 2 ounce package I picked up at Madrona last year. I kind of like it… I did a little reading on hemp spinning. Spinning it worsted seems to be the best way to go and spinning it damp or wetting your fingers as […]

The Dark Side?

So by some wacky twist of fate there is a knitting machine in my home. A knitting machine. In my home. On the dining table. Yes. Hmmm. I decided it is cool. It is missing a few tools, which I have found are not difficult to replace. I also managed to find its users manual […]

Another UFO down!

It was formerly known as: but it got sacrificed for another, more promising project that is about 80% done. It’s this thing: Remember? I started it last year. I was running out of yarn, so it had to be done. It is a sleeveless tunic type thing made with silk hankies. I have hopes that […]

Spindle spinning

I’ve been on a spindle spinning kick over the last month or two. So much so that I may get another drop spindle to round out my collection. I currently have two. The larger one weighs about 1.25 ounces and has a maple whorl. I got it at a Madrona Winter Retreat (no surprise there) […]

Madrona Fiber Arts Winter Retreat 2014

I really did keep it together this time. I only made two purchases (!) and one wasn’t fiber or yarn. Every time I was considering a yarn or fiber, I just thought about the too much untouched stuff I have at home (most of it purchased at previous Madrona retreats), smiled, and moved on. I […]

I won! I won!

So,I got an email in mid January from Yarnarchy informing me that I was entered into a drawing because I subscribed to her blog and won a $25 gift certificate to her shop. How cool is that!?!? I rarely win stuff when I try to win. This was a total accident. 🙂 I got myself […]
