Fire is officially over. I have to say that I really didn’t get as much done in this element as I thought. I’m still working on the second bobbin of fiery wool since I got sidetracked with wee hats and socks. I’ll finish it eventually, but not in a timely fashion for the Project. And [...]

This is a quick one- baby B’s dedication is this weekend, so I gotta get on the house cleaning and outfit planning. I just wanted to show off my fire-y spinning. I can’t quite catch the richness of the color- varying from bright orange to deep plum- but I am LOVING it!
I am hoping I [...]

Last year I joined Project Spectrum to focus my projects on a given color range. I was able to do pretty well with most of the shades, although as the year went on (and my not-so-favorite colors appeared), I found myself lagging in creativity. Well, it’s a new year and a new spectrum. This year [...]

So, what are all these pictures? Well, some project spectrum work, of course! Except for the last picture, which is my first angora yarn. Not brown, orange or purple, but it might be someday! I’m pretty proud of my little skein. It’s not easy spinning that short, fine fur.
Anyway, left to [...]

Here is my newest sock. It’s a simple 3×1 rib in shades of brown, blue, black, and magenta. It was going to be Devan (back from the baby sweater trials), but just didn’t work like I’d hoped. I am really liking it as a sock, though! And, it does fit with [...]

Before I get into what I haven’t done for Project Spectrum, let me say a huge thank you to my sockapalooza pal, Michele V (who I think is blogless and I don’t have her email). I was so excited to get them and they fit great! She made Monkey’s for me, in Lorna’s [...]

Not much to speak of yet in this color grouping (although it is one of my favorites!). I did change the blog template to match… you like? I have finished the missing finger gloves and will be mailing them out today, along with my Sockapalooza 4 socks (I think). Gotta make sure I [...]

Some metallic images from churches we have visited on our honeymoon and at a friend’s wedding. Mosaics can be so beautiful.

How ’bout some yummy red fruit to end your week?
We now have six gallons of strawberries and 20+ pounds of cherries in our freezer. MMMMMMM!

I think I am losing steam for the spectrum project. I’m not very motivated to make things that are red, black or metallic. Although I really do need to make another pair of fingerless gloves. Maybe that will do. But, as you know, I have other projects on the needles. I have finished the first [...]
