Fiberuary 3

16: Technique— I don’t always have the best technique when I spin. Most of the time I draft in long draw, and I spin more uniformly or consistently with a drop spindle than any other spinning form. It’s when I lock into my meditative state and literally feel physics…

17: Weekend— almost every Friday night, I stay awake late to have crafting night. Saturday mornings I call my dad and relax while I have my coffee.. then I get back to work with whatever I’m doing.

18: Fiber Friends— have to give a big shoutout to my dear friend, Amelia Zenerino, an artist of many mediums. Amelia and I were in a knitting circle in Henry County Kentucky during college, and that fiber group has taught me so much! I went from knitting rectangles to now knitting sweaters and embarking on colourwork. Amelia and I love to chat fiber and trade dyestuffs and yarns etc as well as just ideas and life stuff. I am so thankful for our friendship!

19: Project Bag— I have so so many 😂 you can find bags upon bags of different groupings of my wool. Additionally, I will have bags for my knitting, and baskets and boxes for storage of all my crafts. The epitome of a project bag is my extra large trash bag of alpaca fiber!

20: Twos Days—

21: Wear it Wednesday— every time I leave the house I go through by checklist: -did I brush my teeth? -do I have my keys? -do I have reusable bags? -what am I going to wear? Especially in the winter! As I’m putting on my coat, I pick out a hat or pick out gloves. There’s not much I don’t have to bundle up!
Today I picked my handspun holiday hat, my test acrylic cardigan, my Goldfish Memory test knit (that I, myself, did not knit) and an Inkle woven band of my own creation.
