Perfecting Fractals
Hello! This week I’ve just kept up spinning fractal yarns. I was mostly practicing for consistency and decided to let the colorways just be whatever I felt was easiest. That meant the colors didn’t always end up going well together, but I definitely have gotten much better at keeping a steady consistency. Thankfully that was…

New Fiber and Fractal Yarns
Hello! I’m so excited that I have a lot of new fiber I’ve gotten to spin up lately. The fiber is all solid colors, so I also get to build my own color scheme instead of buying pre dyed fiber with a pre picked color scheme. I got plenty of undyed roving as well, that…

Back From Regrouping
Hello! I’m finally back! I definitely needed some time to slow down and reconfigure my days. While I was away, I found the kindest woman who was selling her spinning wheel and a bit of her fiber stash she’d collected. I had been looking for a while for a good deal on one and just…

Long Productive Week
Hello! This week I did not get to crochet as much as I’d originally hoped, however I did still keep with the productivity streak. I took care of a few appointments I had, as well as some late spring cleaning that some spaces of mine needed. Other than that, I got to practice some knitted…

Weekend Gardening
Hello! This weekend I was helping get our garden officially all set up for the summer. I was so busy I didn’t even complete any crochet projects or posts! I spent most of my time figuring out what plants were best to companion plant together, watering our perennial flowers, re-posting and re-fencing around my apple…
