Fiber Arts Friday

Posted by: teresasdesk on: April 24, 2009

Every day is a Fiber Arts Friday around here it seems.  And that’s ok, too.
This week I have linked back to the New Colorway that needs a name.  And it has one!  I haven’t changed the blog.  I think I’ll leave it as is and post again later – today? Next week? – [...]

New Yarn Colorway Needs a Name!

Posted by: teresasdesk on: April 21, 2009

I keep thinking “Phone Sex” – since it’s sister colorway is now “Conference Call Blues”, and this colorway is SEXY!
But anyway. I’m starting a new sock pattern using this yarn. If I don’t pull it all out, I’ll be posting pics soon of the sock in progress. But in the meantime, I [...]

Who Am I?

Posted by: teresasdesk on: April 14, 2009

I am an indie dyer who has the best hand dyed yarn and fiber ever!
That’s how I introduced myself to someone in an email the other day?  Was I coming on a little too strong?  Maybe.  But my mind keeps going back to Mrs. Wren, my 5th grade Reading teacher, who often reminded us that [...]

Onions & Lace Weight

Posted by: teresasdesk on: March 27, 2009

I started our garden today – officially.  The first sacrifice was some onions I’ve been keeping just for this event.  Some had already gone bad and were fed to the compost.  The rest of them were planted and blessed.  And hopefully the bunnies and squirrels don’t have taste for onions.  Does anyone know?  The cans [...]
