The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: First Weekend

We’re back! Even as we still face down a pandemic, I have to say it was so nice to be out there again. Maybe that’s because, as many as you know, this will be Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing last season at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Many people have told me I could find another […]

Relocating the Stash

Because as the saying goes: “Home is where the stash resides.” I am moving. It’s really great ’cause I will be closer to work, really close to some good friends, and walking distance from some of my favorite shops and restaurants (including a certain local yarn shop…) It’s really not great because moving stresses me […]

Winding an Instagram-Worthy Turkish Cop

Welcome to another installment of “posts I wish I had when I was learning how to do stuff.” These are the current top posts on Instagram when I searched #turkishspindle this morning (click on it for the updated feed!). What the in-progress projects here all have in common is that gorgeous God’s Eye cop (for […]

Three Years of Adventures

I’ve made it! The leather (or crystal?) anniversary! I appreciate you all who continue reading my words, whether you’ve been here since day one or if you just found the blog. It’s definitely gotten me out of my comfort zone and pushed my crafty skills to new heights. Sadly, I do find myself in a […]

The Woolery Spin Along

Y’all know I love a challenge! So when the Woolery announced they’d be hosting a Spin Along focusing on consistency, I was immediately on board. The challenge kicks off this week with two weeks each dedicated to a different breed: Shetland, Blue Faced Leicester, and Polwarth. The goal is to consistently spin a fingering, DK, […]

WIP Challenge: March Update

I am so proud! Even after all my new cast-ons this month, I still managed to bring the WIP count down! It’s only by one, but hey, that’s down! I did have one finish from the pre-2021 list, and funny enough, I didn’t even start it. A friend of mine has a grandmother who was […]

WIP Challenge: February Update

I’m feeling a lot better about this challenge now. The shoot is done, and I’m looking forward to telling you all about that later. I’m finishing up gifts for (very understanding) family and friends that got pushed back because of the shoot, and I’ve made progress on some really old WIPs, like the Easter Shawl. […]

You Spin Me Right Round

I need to give a shout-out to the universe today. Thank you, universe, for bringing me so much amazing spinning content as of late. I don’t know if more people are picking it up because of lockdowns, or because they got spinning stuff for Christmas, or if they’ve always been here and just now discovered […]

Adventures NOT at the Ren Fest: Sixth Weekend

Funny enough, just as I would be if Faire had gone on, I’m pretty sick of spinning now. The good news is I don’t have to, now! I finished up my Spin Together competition. It wasn’t my best, I didn’t even make the mile, but I had at least something to turn in to my […]

Spin Together Update

What a week to be in a spinning competition… Work’s been especially crazy and I have been craving more human interaction than I’m used to getting. Still trying to do my part, though! Of course, I have the money yarn, but that will only count for the plying. My spindle project is coming along, but […]
