I woke up this morning to piles of Ravelry mail congratulating me on being mentioned by the Yarn Harlot. Scroll down to Sunday’s entry, and she is discussing rainbow yarns. From what I gather, this is a great honor, and results in being flooded with orders! So if you don’t hear from me, I’m busy [...]

Lots of lace this week! Some of my supersock (yay, huge new box full!) And my new sock yarn, Tiger Twist …it’s oooh so lively and springy! We’re busy from now (honey, I’m coming, really….I gotta post the yarn pictures first!!) through Saturday having our garage sale, so I will get these listed on ThePaintedTiger [...]

Winging its way to California at this moment, is a batch of ten of these: Yes, it is the titled yarn, but with a twist. This batch is using my new dyes, so it is much much brighter and (I think) stunning. Much more true to what I was trying to create the first [...]

MolecularMuse creates jewelry based on the chemical structure of things such as Seratonin, Dopamine, Estrogen, Ethanol, [...]

Anyone watching the news will have perhaps seen a blurb about the weather in Iowa. It has been raining buckets, and nearly everyday for about a month now. We have been blessed with a dry basement, and few actual problems from the rain, but I know many are not so lucky. Last night, a big [...]

If you know me at all, you know that I am a geek. Yup. I even have a degree with a major Biology and a minor in Chemistry, and I taught all kinds of science to public school kids until I took ‘kiddie retirement’. So, in that spirit, here are some amazing geeky science things. [...]

At long last, I did some serious dyeing of roving. Here is what was dry, more to come soon. I did these in the ‘jar dyeing’ method, so they are a bit randomly dyed, but it beautifully preserves the loft of the wool. I am very pleased with them. Click the bold titles above the [...]

Here on what we affectionately call the ‘Pool Table’ (green was all they had at the store, and our oak table couldn’t withstand the boy without impervious vinyl…) is the June shipment of SSSYC, including pre-orders for Stars & Stripes, Forever. Rainbow Brite Stripe pre-orders should ship next Friday, but the weather is continuing to be [...]

I came across this video while catching up on Ravelry this morning. Over 700 knitted frames of animation to portray a Canadian winter. They did use a knitting machine, I would too!
