Alpaca Adoption

My friend Marci and I adopted an alpaca last weekend. This has prompted a lot of questions from my friends and colleagues: “You’re adopting an alpaca? Where will you keep it? Do you know anything about taking care of alpacas?” I sure don’t, readers. That’s why I’m just adopting her, and she can go live […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: The Last Weekend

So now it’s officially over! It would’ve been nice to really enjoy my last day out at the Faire this year. Instead we had rain and wind in the high 30s. It’s the coldest day I’ve ever spent out there, I’m sure (Marci said she’s had colder). Quite a few people braved that weather with […]

Yarn Advent Calendar Round-up

While I’m sitting here not working on Christmas presents, I’m instead looking at all the really cool yarn advent calendars they’re putting out this year. As if I have an abundance of time to work on additional projects around the holidays. I can’t stop looking, though, the idea is just so appealing to me. I […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 6th Weekend

The end of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival is nigh, and traditionally the last couple of weekends are really good at Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing. It’s chillier, people forget warm things, and we get to bust out our own hand-knits. It was a little harder this weekend with all the rain, but I managed: And […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 5th Weekend (and Spinzilla Update)

Last weekend, I only spent one day out at the festival because KU had Homecoming on Saturday, so I got to go play in the band. I didn’t bring a spindle to the game this year ’cause Spinzilla started on Monday! It seems a lot of the crazy patrons came out to play 4th weekend, […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 4th Weekend

Well, the weather was perfect, and we finally had some good crowds out at the Renaissance Festival. However, with larger crowds comes crazier guests, it seems. I can’t even phrase them all into “I” sentences. Here’s all the crazy that I got to experience last weekend: A guy walked into the booth, stood about a […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 3rd Weekend

It was so hot this weekend (which is never fun when you’re in the market of warm things), but it wasn’t a total bust. Mom was working out at the Faire this weekend too! She’s working for one of her favorite artists, Clay Images, who make these amazing ceramic dragon pieces, including three different styles […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 1st and 2nd Weekends

The unofficial start of fall also rings in the start of the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City, and I’m in my fourth season working at Wolf ‘n’ Sheeps Clothing. I fully intended to do one of these posts last week but the holiday weekend threw me off my rhythm. So this one is a twofer. […]

SpinOlution Echo Unboxing

I can say this now that it’s over: I don’t care for August. The fun of summer is essentially over and the fun of fall has not yet begun. It’s a fun void. Of course, I probably feel that way cause I spend my fall weekends out at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival with Marci […]

A Knitting Q&A

Want to say again: I’m following the #fiberadventures hashtag on Instagram. Use it so I can see what you’re working on! NothingButKnit posted a knitting Q&A and I thought it would be fun to answer: Do you have a favorite crafting tool? I don’t know that I have one overall favorite. I still have my […]
