At first I thought I might be a tad manic. I dream about my hobbies and go from one to the other with abandon. Or is it just a release from the stresses of the work week? Either way, I was relieved to notice a common thread - THREAD! If it's not about fiber in one way or another, I'm not interested. Somehow containing things under this heading lends legitamacy and soothes my fears regarding my sanity. Visit to see my progress!

An accounting begins
I wonder just how many projects I have on the needles. Here I plan to start a brutal accounting of these projects, with photos of each. I do need to finish a few. But starting is my second favorite part of the process, and so much easier to achieve than my first favorite which is finishing, of course!
This first is a sock knit of handspun. I purchased the hand dyed roving from Ginny Tullock, aka FatCatKnits, and spun it fractally. This was my first attempt and I am pleased. Having achieved 300 yards of double ply yarn, I thought I'd have enough to finish the pair. Sadly, this seems to be not the case. But no fears as Ginny is a sweetheart who dyed me up another batch of roving. I'm finished with one sock, minus kitchener ending, and have enough from ball #1 to start the second sock. I have started spinning ball #2 and should be good to go for my late August deadline. Project #1, stay tuned for more!
