There really is a zen quality to hand spinning. I’ve done quite a few skeins of yarn now, and I find that I REALLY am quite relaxed during and after the process of hand spinning.
A few of my FB buddies have asked, and YES I do plan on selling my hand spun yarns. I plan on releasing a collection of hand spun yarns in a few weeks, or when I get the chance, whichever comes first.
I do love to spin. I love that I am making a scarf with my own hand spun yarn, on hand carved wooden needles. That makes me feel so holistic, you know?
In other news, I have discovered a couple things about my infant Dharma; One is that she screams bloody murder when she is just the slightest bit sleepy. Two is that she is quite easily distracted by the sound of music. Two is that due to the aforementioned, she does further enjoy Radiohead. She in fact sings along. She also loves Elvis Perkins and finds Bob Marley to make her give in to sleepiness.
Dakota had picture day today. SHE ACTUALLY SMILED. You have no idea how awesome that is. I look forward to being the typical parent and showing anyone who will pay attention, the picture of her in Pre-K.

So, these are for sale in my shop, of course.
The pics might be a little “lo-fi”, since I took them on my phone. My camera is acting up again.
That’s Yarrow, learning the (I think) double crochet. Go, Yarrow, Go!
Nice, right? This one was made with Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn.
Here’s another version of it:
Cute, right?
Anyway, that is that. I don’t have a pattern, because I kind of made it up. It’s just a crocheted strip that I rolled up and sewed together. But I’m sure there is a pattern out there, somewhere.
