Spinning, knitting, and weaving. Have an 8 shaft Mighty Wolf now, but still
just using 4 shafts. I've got a 3 year old kiddo and am up for tenure this
year, so I don't have much time for big projects. Mostly knitting lots of
socks, mittens, and other small things, weaving scarves, and spinning
It's been really fun to see and read all the activity on the fibernet list
lately.
I'm gearing up to get heavily into spinning mode. I have a couple of nice

We're visiting NYC - there's a fantastic Bauhaus exhibit at the MOMA until
Jan. 25 and a whole Guggenheim full of Kandinsky's work until Jan. 13 - and
after all that color theory, I dreamed all night Josef Hoffmann (Wiener
Werkstaette) in black/white/silver.
Tonight we have tickets to the Met
Here in Southern new England we are digging out from a weekend of snow - not
much on the ground but the duration of the storm was exhausting.
We were gifted with an old working loom by a friend who is downsizing which is
now allowing us to work in the winter - the new loom and a table loom we
Happy New Year all,
I have been weaving up a storm inspired by the 60 Scarves for 60 Years
publication. I wove 3 scarves based on one of the examples using my alpaca

daughter's coat warp :) I got it all spun, sized,

And I'm still working on the weft - precarding

Well now there is 3 feet of snow on the ground I am finally getting moved
into my winter space. I finally got all the workshop tools moved out so I
can move my wool in. The next step is to get the sled and move everything

Well, we had our Rose Bowl Parade. The weather was gorgeous. Seventy-two
degrees, w/a slight breeze. I can just see the people who live in snow

My wrist is finally back to nearly normal after surgery this fall so all
projects have been on hold while my wrist heals. I've knitted some easy
