It's been a while

(darn it, now I have that song by Staind running through my head!)

Lots to catch up on, so will be doing multiple posts, otherwise this will be just one really long ramble (too late!).

When I last blogged, "change" and "simplify" seemed to be the keywords for my world. And that are the theme words I am trying to keep close. Except when it comes to my creative pursuits it seems....

I basically went insane at spin in at the end of January and bought:

• 3 spindles and a niddy noddy (pics later)
  
• just under a pound each of cream, black, and fawn alpaca fleece.
  
  
• Hand-dyed BFL, Merino/Tencel, cashmere/silk, and other yummy things.
  
  

Then I got a quilted hook holder and some yarns to do tapestry with - so useful since I have been also trying to learn tapestry weaving.


Spin in was a great time, but it was far too short.

I had a weaving workshop in the middle of February and also had a great time! Being around all of those experienced weavers really helped me expand my knowledge. The fact that I had not finished prepping my loom prior to the workshop kind of worked to my favor, I got a lot of tips and tricks that I never would have known.
