What is that!??!?!?! Knitting!??!?!?!

I was recently inspired to make something and actually keep it for myself, something I very very very seldom do:) I have also been finding that many other 'crafters' fail to keep things for themselves too. Funny how that happens, I guess. The plumber always has a leaky faucet.....gym teacher was always not so fit......police officer talking on the cell phone while driving. I fit right into the general work force now:) Time to change that and make something and actually wear it........want to see?






Isn't this yarn the most amazing bright cool neato yarn you've ever seen?!?!?!?! Want to know where I got it? Sure ya do!!!! http://www.perchancetoknit.etsy.com/ Check out her shop for some wonderful fantastic yarns!!!

Of course there is much more but, here is the latest in hand spun:)


We are also going to add another person to Sunrise Lodge Fiber Studio:) I can't believe I'm actually putting this in the blog before it is 'official' but I can't help how excited we are about having her aboard. Woo hoo!!! Go Chrissy!!! I'll post some more detail in the next section about her, her start date and the types of items she will be making available........stay tuned:)

A New Loom!

       I’ve been weaving on a Glimakra 8 harness countermarche loom for almost 10 years now.  I love it!  It weaves like a dream, it’s super heavy, I get an excellent shed when all is going well, and I have a bit of an emotional attachment to it.  The only thing that I don’t love about this loom is that I have to climb on the floor to tie up the treadles.  Depending on the pattern, I could be under there for quite some time.  I’m pretty limber and in pretty good shape but climbing under the loom is back breaking work.  So much so that I’m sometimes out of commission for the remainder of the day after.  Look how pretty this loom is though!       I cleaned out the area that this loom has been designating as it’s home and prepped for the replacement.  I got an amazing deal on a Louet Spring and couldn’t pass it up!        I’ve been doing a lot of research o...

SILK!

The hardest thing to do for me, at times, is to consider the price of silk.  It is so very expensive!!!  I usually can't wrap my mind around purchasing it.  There are several sources out there that offer silk and about a year ago I purchased around 2 lbs of natural silk to dye.  A brave move for me considering the price!  Eeek!  I knew I had a pattern and I knew what colors I wanted......now to make the next step and get the project started!  I selected four hanks to be dyed and Chris and I got busy dying them in a variegated blue and a variegated green keeping them monochromatic since I was going to be using an echo weave pattern. Once the ends were counted out, the loom was dressed and I was happily weaving.  I wove two with a solid black weft......the weft was not dyed here in the studio, it was commercially dyed.   The best part about this project was that I had finished twisting fringe on the s...

You Are Not Going To Believe This Story!!! Grab a Tea, Cuddle Up and Take It In!!!

You're not going to believe this story!!! I am so much in awe that I have decided to write it all down here so everyone can read it. Honestly, it would take me an hour to tell the story and I SO want to share it with everyone!!!! Ok.....here we go: For those of you who follow my blog, you know that I purchased a compu-dobby loom in October. For those of you who do not follow my blog, I purchased a compu-dobby loom in October......this is a very expensive loom aided by a computer. My reason for purchasing this loom was that I have found that I really enjoy working with multiple shafts, designing fabric, 'playing' with different weave structures and just LOVE to dress my loom! So, I went on a mad hunt for a compu-dobby loom and came across a Leclerc Diana. After some time and consideration, I found one that would work for me and made arrangements to get it. I had toss and turns in my stomach because not only was this a HUGE purchase but, I had never used one only because I do...
