new Fun

I have been working on new ideas and am getting ready for the OFFF (Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival). I am planning on getting a booth and marketing some of the new and different ideas I have for green creations.

NO KNITTING!!!!!

I am so frustrated because I have been forced not to knit because I would be bending my elbow too much. They think I hve and ulnar neuropathy or trapped nerve because of the numbness and tingling I have in my left little and ring fingers. Well, I gues that will mean that I have to start carding and spinning instead. I will be so happy when I get the things done that I need so I can get out there and sell some of my products.

Going a little batty!

I have been very busy doing up some batts this weekend. I have made up some crazy batts and some for other kind of spinning. It is time to get down to work and make up what I have and to get things out on the store. There is too much time for messing around.



I also did a little dyeing, here is a little batt 1.5 oz that looks kinda fun. Would make some nice thin yarn if plied with some thread or core plied.

Extreme sheep herding

I just found this video and almost bust my britches laughing. It was a mad dash to the bathroom if you know what I mean. The coordination between dogs, sheep and man were incredible and I think this is absolutely hysterical.

Dyeing, Carding, Designing, oh my

I just got my carder this week and oh my, it is huge. It is 18" across and makes megafibric batts. Each day I learn a little more. A short fiber here, a long fiber there, a mixed media batt OH MY. There is just so much for me to try. So, dug out some fiber so I can do some general dyeing and get ready for making batts and taking pictures. Sometimes there are too many ideas in my head that I can't keep them straight. I think I am going to have to start a journal to keep them from getting lost in the schematics of my electrical system.

Just too much fun, If they don't sell now, maybe later.
