Come Fly With Me

Let’s fly, let’s fly away… I do love Sinatra, and I’ve been running out of flying puns! And speaking of love, I had it at first sight when I saw Wingspan by Kyle Vey. It’s such a fun design, and there’s so many ways to wear it. You can play up the wings or tone […]

Tool Talk

NothingButKnit has come out with another fun Q&A, this time about crafting tools! Is there a tool that you own that is your absolute favorite? Which is it? What did you use before you had that tool? I have a lot of absolute favorite tools! I have multiple sets of Knitter’s Pride interchangeable needles, wood […]

Project Packing: Lake Edition

Summer in the Fahrlander family is marked by what we call “Lake Weekend.” We have family friends who live down at the Lake of the Ozarks, and the whole of each clan stays with them for a long weekend. It’s wonderful. We enjoy the water, play board games, and always take a trip to the […]

More (Little) Stash, More (Little) Storage

I had a rare, full weekend at home, and when that happens I try to organize stuff around my apartment. I have this great yarn storage fixture my dad built when I moved in, but I’ve been struggling with where to keep my little, partial skeins. I do hold on to any leftovers from projects. […]

Tour de Fleece Update

Today marks Day 12 of Tour de Fleece! We’ve past the halfway point! Not only that, but it’s the first challenge day of the tour. My challenge might be getting any spinning done at all today, but I’ll get back to that. My focus has been on three different spinning projects for the Tour. The […]

Magical Bloopers

Everyone puts their best foot forward on social media, even though everyone knows we all have our own messes behind the camera. Since this blog is about fiber adventures, and adventures almost never go according to plan, I wanted to show you guys the winding road of mess that got me to the Magic Mug […]

Magic Mug Rug

If you’ve never actually met me before, let me tell you a fundamental thing about myself: I love Disney. Like many people growing up during the animation renaissance, all of those films were the defining media that shaped my childhood. One of those films has been at the forefront of my mind recently, with it’s […]

Fiber Finds in Mount Vernon, IA

My mom grew up in Muscatine, Iowa, and a lot of her family still lives in that area now. So like clockwork, twice a year, we head up there to catch up with her family, including my quilting aunts. I also have a cousin on my Dad’s side who lives up in Cedar Rapids, she […]

Some Independence Day Thoughts

Do you remember when I went to the Swig and Stitch event at the National World War I Museum? Well, our teacher was very nice, and had extra kits that she gave out. By that time, the only ones left were the American Flag design, and honestly I would have rather had another poppy. Beggars […]

One Year of Adventures!

FahrOut Fiber Adventures is celebrating its first anniversary today! I’ve had a lot of fun writing about all my fiber adventures, and I hope you’ve had fun reading about them. Of course, how better to celebrate an anniversary than with presents! I’m giving away three sets of locking stitch markers with my plying spider on […]
