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 […]
Read More Tour de Fleece UpdateEveryone 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 […]
Read More Magical BloopersIf 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 […]
Read More Magic Mug RugMy 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 […]
Read More Fiber Finds in Mount Vernon, IAFahrOut Fiber Adventures is celebrating its first anniversary today!

I think I just need to cut back a little. Last […]
Read More Training for the TourOn Sunday, Ravelry put out a statement about Pro-Trump speech on their platform: “We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.” This. This right here is what so many people have been trying to […]
Read More I Stand with RavelryIf you’re a yarn-enthused person in the KC-Metro area, you’re very lucky. We have a nice bunch of yarn shops that are just a hop, skip, and a jump from just about anywhere. I took a day trip to Leavenworth, KS last weekend to check out a new-to-me shop: Momo’s Knitting Nook. Isn’t it gorgeous? […]
Read More Momo’s Knitting NookLast week, I showed you the expansive vendor market at the Estes Park Wool Market, but of course there’s more to this festival than vendors! There’s also adorable fiber animals being shown all weekend: There were sheep, of course, and alpaca, llamas, and goats. I saw a herd (or colony?) of angora rabbits, but I […]
Read More More Estes Park Wool MarketThe main attraction was, of course, the Estes Park Wool Market, but Estes is so cool, we had to check out some of the local shops and restaurants. At one point, the purchases were starting to get a little cumbersome, and I decided to walk them back to the van. On my way back, up […]
