  • Yarn!

    The white is Shetland (not from my sheep, though), the gray is Romney, and the brown is from Tiger Lilly. Today I'm going to set the twist. Yesterday I washed Lavender's wool from last summer. I don't know why I dr…

  • Frustrated!

    I had all of these plans for today but I'm having trouble breathing so I've been grounded. I've even resorted to steroid use, if that tells you anything. Grumble. To make frustration matters worse, I ran out of yarn f…

  • Conner Prairie

    The last few days have been so packed with activities that I haven't had a chance to sit and write about them. Yesterday we took the kids to Conner Prairie, where we met some friends (and London, who had spent the nigh…

  • I spoke too soon

    I hate spinning. I hate spindles. I hate wool. I am crying in frustration at this stupid thing that I want and cannot do. I emailed the Sheep Lady to see if she can help me. The yarn store in Bloomington has no spin…
