Originally posted at Which-Crafts I am having a blast playing around at Ravelry. I somehow got lucky enough to get high enough on the list folks asking for sign-ups that I got an invite about a week ago. And since then I have taken some of my free time to start inputing project information. (I have way more finished projects than I thought) The site is incredibly easy to use and imho is very well designed. There are enough folks over there that preceded me that there is plenty of seeded pattern and yarn information to keep my data-entry down [...]

Pictures! Really I do stuff and here's the proof!

1. Handspun Scarf, in the “oooh soft” post I showed pictures of the yarn I spun from fiber I got from Grafton Fibers. I knit up a scarf that I love, from my favorite simple scarf pattern. The pattern makes a nice reversible cushy scarf. It also works well with the irregular color and texture of the handspun yarn. The scarf itself is about 5.5 feet long and about 6″ wide. The picture is a bit sucky cause I took it with my phone. 2. In “into the dye pot with you!” I dyed a bunch of fiber, some of [...]
