My @longdogyarn order arrived! 😍 . . #yyc #longdogyarn #cannotstopknitting #knittersofinstagram #indiedyer When your hubby takes you for ice cream 😄 Luke's has soft serve. What they didn't tell you is: it's black. Vanilla Charcoal Coconut Swirl. And tasty! . . @lukesdrugmart @lonnietaylor #yyc #icecream #foodiegram #summer In further adventures in drop spinning, I give you Urban Yarn Drying. . . Plied and soaked and dryed in the sunshine this weekend. It ain't perfect (and there isn't much of it...) but it was fun! And it came out so, so, so pretty - which is a testament to the beautifully dyed fiber I used and not my spinning skills. Still, there are some long stretches of exactly then thickness I was aiming for, so with practice (and someday a spinning wheel) I might just find consistency. . . Such a fun challenge! #spinforall2017 @woolneedleshands @arrowknits @rheinlandstory Oh my goodness. Drove to Bowden yesterday (with a stop in Red Deer to go record hunting) to visit the in-laws and conveniently stumble on #oldsfiberweek! I was so excited/in love with the room full of local fiber artists and retailers I didn't think to take a single photo or video! So snaps of my haul will have to do 😉 . . 1. Yarn! From left to right: @ancientartsyarn (80/20 sw merino/nylon) sock in Inuit Art. I instantly fell in love with this purple-grey base and it's green, gold, purple and wine splashes. This will make an appearance in my Find Your Fade soon, and possibly some Canadiana socks for #sockbash2017.; @fleeceartist_handmaiden (100% sw merino singles; no colorway listed. This will be added to my Find Your Fade as well, and damn, it is gorgeous!; and last but not least, @flockfibre (80/20 sw merino/nylon Take a Hike Sock in the colorway Midsummer). When I saw his color I had to have it, so bright and fresh and vivid. Love, love, love. . . 2. I finally have a proper notions bag! This one called to me from the @ladydragonflystudio display, mashing two of my passions together (the all things fiber with the vinyl). I'll be back for more, I'm certain. . . 3/4. Dude. This knitting needles case from @crimson_orchid was $20! I've been trying to sort out a storage solution for my needles and this is so beautiful. And people, she ships free within Alberta for order $25 and up. Come on! Big fan 💜 . . . #yyc #knitting #fiberarts #oldsfiberweek #handspun #indiedyer @olds.college
