The studio is live again!

I finally got enough unpacked to call the studio live! I suspect I'm missing a box... Which is fine... And there are a couple of "I don't know what to do with this boxes". But it's cleared out enough to start working in it. Here's Z doing yoga in the long window!


View from the studio is impeding my progress.

Meanwhile, this is what I've been up to fiber wise; I have used a lot of words to describe what's really very little progress...

  • Some spinning on the orange cashmere silk I've named "45"
  • Some spinning on this wool fiber with a demin like color; I spun at the Black Sheep Guilds Booth at the Redwood City Jazz Festival. Sadly it's not very even, but that should be okay. The yarn is destined to be a pin woven wrap.
  • I got off by one stitch on my Seaside Affair. I took it off the needles to rip out the 12 offending rows and put it around my body just to make sure that the size was right. GOOD THING as it's 10-14 inches too big. I frogged it last night, so now have no easy knitting projects in action.
  • I couldn't find a good place for a projects worth of yarn, so I finally put the project on the rigid heddle loom. I picked that loom since it's all springy knitting yarn. Two of the skeins were Dyed In Fresno but not palindrome skeins; I tried to warp them for warp pooling using Syne Mitchell's Painted Skein Bonus method that was in Weavezine; I'll get photos of that once it's going; I'm wound on but have not finished tying everything up yet.
  • I started school again. Not sure how I feel about this.
  • I pulled out the Green Handmaidens Towel kit I bought a hundred years ago and will decide whether it belongs on the Mac or the New-to-me Gilmore. 
  • I've also been eyeing the pile of dyeable yarn in the studio and the toyon bushes in the back yard. Stay tuned on that one.
