Yesterday was a busy day around here and I did not get a chance to blog my WIPs for the week. Better late than never!
Fiber Arts
All Fiber all the time
No Purl Ribbed Scarf
This is another of the projects that I finished up last week while my sister was here. I finished the knitting the week before she came, but still needed to weave in the ends. Easy peasy!
The Trouble with Tribbles
Last week was busy, with little time for crafting or blogging. My sister arrived on January 10 for a one-week vacation. We went to see three movies (Into the Woods, Unbroken, Selma), which is more movies than I usually see in the theater in an entire year. We also watched Blu rays at my house; she saw Night at the Museum for the first time and I saw How to Train Your Dragon for the first time. We played lots of Pandemic, a board gamein which players work cooperatively to cure four diseases that are threatening to take over the globe. We played mini golf, went to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure, and spent a day in Saint Augustine. We visited family, including an impromptu dinner at my house one night. Three times we walked more than a mile: birdwatching with our father and other family, once to hang out with an uncle, and once to the library and back so I could return a book. It was a pretty awesome week! Although I didn’t have a lot of time for crafting, I did finish up three projects. All three were mostly finished, but needed a little bit of finalization. The Tribbles are the first of these projects.
Orlando Distaff Day 2015
Saturday, January 10, was the Eleventh Annual Orlando Distaff Day. I’ve known about the event for the last 5 or 6 years, but have always had a conflict and been unable to attend. This year, not only did I attend, I also served on the planning committee. I had an absolutely wonderful time at this event!
Breed Specific Fiber Inventory
Yesterday, I started updating my fiber stash on Ravelry. I didn’t finish because I ran out of sunlight for taking pictures. I did, however, make a handwritten list of all the fibers I have so that I could take it with me to Distaff Day. Here’s the list! (Note: This is not a list of all the fiber I have; it is only the breed specific fibers and does not include blends).
