The Sassy Spinner: Bags, Bags, more Bags and a quilt.
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2015/03/bags-bags-more-bags-and-quilt.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Monday, 2 March 2015. Bags, Bags, more Bags and a quilt. For somebody is never carries a handbag of any sort, I do seem to make an awful lot of bags. I am fascinated by the construction and have even bought tatty bags in charity shops just to see how they were made! But project bags, needles cases and the like are useful and fun to make. First off I was looking for a suitable case to store my growing collection of signature needles. First off I saw this. There are eight poc...

The Sassy Spinner: May 2015
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Sunday, 24 May 2015. Last weekend saw me, Molly and Mr S in Bedfordshire - me for a weaving workshop and Mr S was exhibiting his model railway - the new larger and improved layout that is. The enlarged version takes up more room in the car and requires two large coffin shaped boxes to safely transport. The enlarging of the layout required additional trees and the revamp of the existing which were looking the worse for wear, my job and I am pretty pleased with the new ones!

The Sassy Spinner: August 2014
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Saturday, 16 August 2014. As time goes by. When you no longer have a regular commitment to work or family weekends no longer have the same significance, in fact some days if it wasn't for the fact that my medication says today is Thursday I would be hard put to say what day of the week it is! And has for the date - well that's something to be checked up on my smart phone. Since Fibre East I have been indulging my passion for sewing! Now Mr S wants to know what are they all ...

The Sassy Spinner: Life just keeps getting in the way!
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2015/04/life-just-keeps-getting-in-way.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Saturday, 25 April 2015. Life just keeps getting in the way! I realised yesterday that a month had sped by since I last posted, then I considered what had I had achieved, in the last 30 days. Apart from cooking meals, cleaning up, washing (not ironing) shopping and all the other things that have to be done just to keep body and soul together. I have spun just under 2000 yards of finished yarn, considering that most of that was 2 plied, that means I spun 4000 yards of singles.

The Sassy Spinner: February 2015
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Monday, 23 February 2015. This is a circular knitting machine - generic photo. But the mechanics are the bits that fascinate me - how does it work, why does this bit move and this not. In reality they are really quite simple - it is the latch hook that does the work, without this fabulous little needle none of the knitting machines we have today would exist. But it was a very basic machine and that was it, no way of making any more than the flat-bed machine it is. I was luc...

The Sassy Spinner: September 2014
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Sunday, 21 September 2014. Out and About - Sedbergh Sheepfest. Miss Bliss and I are on the road again! This time we are in Cumbria for Sedbergh's. Sunday, 7 September 2014. When knitting gets in the way of spininng. Question do you spin to knit, or knit because you spin? Just recently I just seem to have got the balance between the two quite right. OK for the past couple of years I have knitted shawls as cover ups - which is a wrong reason for knitting shawls!

The Sassy Spinner: I've been neglecting....
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2015/06/ive-been-neglecting.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Just realised that it is over a month since I last posted! My excuse - I have been busy, spinning, weaving, knitting and generally being crafty. It also required some wood work by Mr S in the shape of a heddle stand and an ingenious little device to hold the cross sticks. These two little gadgets make the process so much easier. So here is my first piece of proper weaving. The next thing is to make some tea towels, why? Sorting office in Bristol were ...

The Sassy Spinner: November 2014
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Friday, 21 November 2014. Last week I had my colours done! It was something that I had wanted to do for ages, many years in fact, ever since I was told by a colour consultant in Marks and Spencer that I was a Spring person. But as this was a 2 minute consultation done in artificial light I was never completely convinced. These are my colours. And guess what - these are the colours in my wardrobe. So I have naturally gone for the right colours instinctively! This yarn comes ...

The Sassy Spinner: Help! I am addicted!
http://thesassyspinner.blogspot.com/2015/03/help-i-am-addicted.html
Musings from a Spinning Wheel. Tuesday, 24 March 2015. Last summer when I was seeking a cheap knitting machine, to make sock blanks for dyeing, I was warned that it could become addictive and it has! What I haven't acquired is the extra space needed to store all these essentials! Plus each of these comes with the ubiquitous manual so necessary for the beginner. Then there are the books that explain in detail what all the levers and buttons do! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Check out my website.
