The Lace Shepherdess: March 2013

http://thelaceshepherdess.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 23, 2013. Just finished the Amari shawl. Three shades of green batts from The Fibre Fairy are now spun and the shawl is finished and being blocked. I increased the size so I could use all of my yarn. Got a bit nervous at the end. I used all but four yards. That was close! Very happy with it. Blocked out to 25 X 60 inches. Links to this post.

Then they will be photographed and added to my flickr pages. As hot as it is now, it should not take too long. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Lace Shepherdess: June 2013

http://thelaceshepherdess.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 8, 2013. Spindle love is growing. I do have some sock yarn in progress on one wheel. I have been spending a lot of time knitting and making bobbin lace. Just not enough time in a day! Dervish and Pu Yok with bowl by Malcolm Fielding. Some I have made. Carved jade, carved bone, ceramic bead, two glass beads. All on double point knitting needles. Pink is silk. The others are cotton. Ebony and birds-eye maple Russians. My Coopworth on the ebony and Shetland on the maple. Phil Powell of Custom...

Wednesday, February 13, 2013. I have finished the three shades of green. Now to ply. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My first love is spinning. I have both antique and modern wheels and many spindles, some that I made myself. I love spinning all fibers. I have grown cotton and sometimes spin right off the seed. I knit and dabble in many things as the mood strikes. You can find me on Ravelry as SandySpinsLace. View my complete profile. The Lace Shepherdess Shop.

The Lace Shepherdess

http://thelaceshepherdess.blogspot.com/2013/02/here-is-my-latest-support-spindle.html

Wednesday, February 13, 2013. Here is my latest support spindle acquisition. It is a Mary Bears Oso. In cedar. It smells wonderful! I do not usually name things, but this one said it should be The Painted Pony. I spun the sample of BFL blend that came with the first cedar. I sent that one back to Mary as it was too heavy for my taste. She graciously made another and it is just the right weight. I wound off the yarn onto a winding star that friend Cheryl made for me.

The Lace Shepherdess: April 2012

http://thelaceshepherdess.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Looks like the dye sample book will be a bit short.I went out this morning to check on the dyed fiber from last week. It has been cool and damp so things were not drying too fast. When I checked the wool and silk samples I noticed that some sample groups were missing the silk. Lost six silk samples and the mouse left some calling cards! Somewhere there is a mouse nest with a very colorful silk lining. Hope the wee mousses appreciate their mamma's efforts.

The Lace Shepherdess: August 2012

http://thelaceshepherdess.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 31, 2012. Links to this post. Spindle with Gin Glass. Here we have a work in progress on a support spindle. The lap bowl is working quite well. So glad that Cheryl bought that Gin! The glass works equally well in the wide bowl and in the base. Sort of a two for one thing. I am really enjoying support spindling. I have some on order from Malcolm Fielding. Cannot wait for them to arrive. Links to this post. Links to this post. Links to this post. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Lace Shepherdess: December 2012

http://thelaceshepherdess.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 16, 2012. I bought some gradient batts from The Fibre Fairy. Three shades of green that are blends of Merino, Shetland Lamb, Polworth, Alpaca, Silk, and Firestar. Wonderful stuff! This photo shows all three shades of green. Lightest. I tear the batts into thinner strips before spinning. This shows the darkest and the lightest. I must say that AJs' batts are so wonderful to spin. They practically spin themselves! Links to this post. Saturday, December 15, 2012. Christmas a bit early.
