In the last bit of silver lining hunting for a cancelled Faire this year, I did absolutely nothing. It was fantastic. Not to say I literally just sat and did nothing, but I wasn’t required to go anywhere. Unlike if there had been Faire this year, I would have froze outside in the wet and […]
Read More Adventures NOT at the Ren Fest: Final WeekendThis was the weekend for the Kaw Valley Farm Tour that I have missed for the past several years. It seemed a safe, family outing, so I was really looking forward to it. Even though it was almost completely outdoors, this was still one of those events where it probably was better just to miss […]
Read More Adventures NOT at the Ren Fest: Fifth WeekendI know I’ve shared with you my plan to find silver linings with the Kansas City Renaissance Festival being cancelled, but it’s gotten way better in practice. When I first shared my disappointment in the cancelled season, a couple of my bubble friends decided if we couldn’t go to the Ren Fest, we’d make our […]
Read More Adventures NOT at the Ren Fest: First WeekendI’m on a low on the CoronaCoaster today. Cases keep going up, people are acting like the opposite is true, and we’re supposed to go back into the office soon. It’s a lot. But the yarncrafts are still helping, so that’s good. No new cast-ons since my last post, but I do have these little […]
Read More Social DisKnitting: Day 126But first, yesterday was FahrOut Fiber Adventures’ second birthday! Part of me can’t believe I’m still writing after two years, but this blog has gone a slightly different direction than what I first intended. That shows growth and creativity, though, right? I hope so, at any rate. If you would have told me two years […]
Read More Social DisKnitting: Day 112We’ve been at this almost 100 days. It feels like we just started and this is the way it’s always been at the same time… I have an FO! I finally finished that scarf for my friend. He’s a swing dancer who always wore this horrible mass-produced scarf that was curling and pilling, and I […]
Read More Social DisKnitting: Day 98Previously, I worried that I didn’t have enough content for these posts anymore, but now I’m trying to remember all I’ve done since the last one. I finished my Wonderful Wallaby sweater: Haven’t had a chance to take modeled photos, yet, but a blocking photo works for proof of FO, right? I’ve also finished two […]
Read More Social DisKnitting: Day 91After this week of radio silence, I do feel the need to state, unequivocally, Black Lives Matter. If you are able, I hope you will donate to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund or the Black Lives Matter Global Network, or another local or national organization that is fighting the injustices black people, here and all […]
Read More Virtual Fiber RetreatI don’t know about you all, but I’m starting to have actually good days for the first time since this all started. Hope it lasts a little while, anyway. After ripping out the neckline twice, I finished my bed-sheet summer dress. I’m so happy with it. Along the same line, I finished the hood of […]
Read More Social DisKnitting: Day 70I’m still going! Albeit slower than when we started social distancing. My super secret surprise project last week was a Mother’s Day gift, of course. When Mom took her first spinning class, she came home and wanted to through away the yarn she spun. I stopped her, singing the praises of a first-spun yarn, and […]
