The Pagewood fairy delivered again on Friday, so I’ll do my very best to show you the bountiful harvest that is now on the shelf. Today’s gonna be a busy one at the shop, as there’s lots of classes, groups, and other gatherings on tap, as well as a BEAUTIFUL (winter) day outside.
See […]
Let me start out by thanking everyone who purchased some of my hand-dyed skeins shown here on Tuesday. It’s gratifying that you like them, and I plan on making more soon, as time allows. It is something I enjoy doing, even though it’s a good bit of work to set it all up, […]
There’s just something wonderful about hand-made goodies–whether we’re talking about wonderful food cooked with love, music from inside a performer, or something hand-painted, like beautiful sock-weight yarns. I’m a sucker for a hand-crafted yarn, and I’m sure more than one of you out there shares my passion. Plus, we, as fiber artists, create […]
Should I post pix of:
the fourteen remaining skeins of my own hand-dyed sock-weight yarn (fourteen of 26 remain)
or
the newest shipment of Pagewood Farms Chugiak that arrived yesterday.
Comment away!
Day off……….but with some work thrown in for good measure. We delayed the weekly e-mail newsletter put out by the shop via e-mail by one day, so it had to be worked on today instead of last night. There was a smidgen of news we had to nail down before publishing, so now […]
While it wasn’t quite the monster day I had planned for, it was a good delivery day nonetheless. We didn’t get three of the orders I thought we would (they are each scheduled in for Wednesday delivery), we did get the big, monster sock yarn shipment I thought we would
That’s about $6,000 worth of […]
I spent about 4.5 hours in the back room of the shop today, dyeing more yarn. Matt’s taken some pictures of the hanks while they’re drying, so maybe I can add them here later tonight or early tomorrow. (Tuesday morning edit–there’s one picture posted to his blog….click and see!) I managed to create […]
Not much to say, and not much time left to squeeze this in on a Sunday night, so I’ll be quick about it. Promise!
Progress continues on Betsy’s Sox #2
I worked on it tonight while Matt and I watched the Grammy Show (gawd I love Amy Winehouse, and it was great to see her do […]
Yet another lazy day, as I haven’t left the house, formally, all day long. Just knittin’ and spending time online…..and snuggling with dogs. My kinda day off!
I did knit on Betsy’s Sox #2
All done, up to the start of the heel flap. I can’t go any further tonight, as the original sock […]
I just hung up with my good buddy Amanda at Lorna’s Laces and she’s shipping out over $4,500 in yarn today…..meaning we’ll have it by tomorrow (Friday).
In this shipment are several dye lots of our custom colors (MSU and UMich), our kits for the shrug by Heartstrings that are a combination of Lorna’s and Mountain […]
