Phew! I’ve made several changes big and small to my website over the past month and I finally got everything uploaded to the servers last night. My two main things I’m excited about is the new Fiber Art gallery and the Classes page. The Fiber Art gallery page includes two galleries atm with several more sections and photos to be added soon. I’ve hand coded this website entirely myself with the exception of the contact form and the super spiffy gallery setup which is all thanks to the amazing @artbit!

I’m so glad my new Keens arrived. I absolutely love their hiking shoes. My last pair needed to be retired from my long hikes and will now be reserve for running errands. These ones will be up for the task of long Pokรฉmon Go walks, hiking, and all day events. #keenfootwear #hikingshoes

On Saturday I went to the Whidbey Island Spin in for the first time and it was amazing! Saw a lot of familiar faces and met a lot of new ones. I picked up a few goodies including these two beauties from @homesteadhobbyist. This is Malachite a blend of Black Shetland/Black Alpaca/Silk 33/33/33. I’m debating on what I want to spin this on. It’s 8 oz so it can either be a long term spindle project or about a month long wheel project. It would look so pretty as turtles. Decisions decisions... hrmmmmm #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365

Before I go into the spinning, anyone here going to be at the Whidbey Island Spin In on Saturday? This will be my first time going and I’m super excited! . . This is definitely not my normal spinning! I’m doing some sampling for a large singles only project I want to knit that will require 14wpi and 9 wpi singles. Normally I spin around 30-40 wpi and I do either 2-3 plies. Going to do a few more samples till I feel more comfortable spinning this thickness and I’ll use the samples for dyeing experiments to sort out how I want to dye the yarn for the project. It’s going to be a lot of fun and definitely far out of my usual box. Gotta love how springy singles are before you wash them. ๐ #handspunstagram

Received a wonderful package today from @hellkeen42 ❤️ 200g of raw Australian Super Fine Merino! Going by the crimp and feel this has to be the finest quality fleece I’ve ever played with. The fleece is super bright white and it’s going to wash up beautifully. The locks are full of so much crimp and a wonderful length. ❤️๐❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365
