Time to share what the March Transitions Club yarn looks like knit up. If you don’t wanna know, don’t click more! Here’s an example of how members received the yarn. Each Fillet was hand painted, and are different. (BTW, all these pictures are HUGE on my Flickr, so if you’d like to see more detail, [...]

Here’s the part where I actually end up with roving!!! To catch you up….here’s where I left off. One batt of pale green, and another batt of pale blue, carded up on my Fancy Kitty Kitten drum carder. I ripped these both in half and set one half of each aside. Then I slowly fed [...]

Ok, so I’m a little early on the St. Patrick’s thing, but this was too funny not to post right away!!

Here’s the second half of that top I am working on. This time, the blue pile. This first picture is fairly accurate on color. You can see the ribbon of mohair being kinda shiny running down the top. One benefit to carding…..it gives you a chance to find and pick out the occasional sheep hair. [...]

Drink and spin with abandon!! var addthis_pub = ‘ThePaintedTiger’; [...]
