My HSKS3 Pal Rocks!

Published on October 28, 2007 in HSKS3. 4 Comments

And I’m a bad receiver because I’ve been way too busy to document this and post it. I’ve been meaning to, but I just haven’t had time! Anyways, here are the goodies my pal sent me.

If you notice, the sockyarn says that it’s handdyed, and I think it was handspun as well! How awesome is that!? And then, she also sends me fiber! She’s officially got to be the best pal, and I suck for not posting this earlier.

Since I finished spinning and plying that last yarn, I started something else as well. Take a look.

This stuff is shiney and nice to work with. I’m really enjoying it. This is coming out really thin, which is exactly what I wanted because I was thinking of using this for something I’m designing. More details on that later, but I definitely see a difference in my spinning from the last batch I worked on. I think I’m getting even better!

I did some public spinning over the weekend while camping out, and I had a lot of people comment on how they’ve never actually seen anyone spinning before. One guy kept commenting on how I need a wheel, and he would do this in front of my boyfriend, so I’m hoping that’s a possibility come this Christmas.

HSKS3 Contest #1

Published on September 2, 2007 in HSKS3. 0 Comments

Contest #1 is out for Gryffindor’s and I finished it today. It wasn’t too bad. I’m really horrible about remembering things, so I Googled a lot of it. I think the question I had the most problems with was number 5 down, but then once I figured it out I felt so stupid for not knowing it.

Here’s the puzzle for you guys to figure out if you like. I’d also like to say, GO GRYFFINDOR!
