Day 2 of Tour de Fleece: My long draw spinning is ok but it takes me so much more work, concentration, and time to get it this decent in comparison to my worsted spinning. Fiber is Stained Glass and Pitch on Camel/Silk 50/50 by @spottedewefibers. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #TeamAkerworks2020 #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #akerworks #3dprinting #teedeehedgie #spottedewefibers #starlingspinner #starlingxl

Day 2 of Tour de Fleece: so um yea those Hedgies are totally how I feel right now. I was so excited about this project but it’s not going as well as I had hoped. The hand cards are absolutely wonderful but the dowel rods I sanded are just not smooth enough even after going from about 150 grit to 3,000 grit. The silk latches on and I can’t free the rolags from them smoothly like I can with my wool rolags. The combination of my bad rolags and my bad long draw skills is making me feel very discouraged and my right arm/wrist is now cranky. This project will be put on hold until I can sort out how to do this better. ☹️ Fiber is Stained Glass and Pitch on Camel/Silk 50/50 by @spottedewefibers. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #TeamAkerworks2020 #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #akerworks #3dprinting #teedeehedgie #spottedewefibers #starlingspinner #starlingxl

This version brings the Classic Logo onto the theme. My hope is that with the logo being on the Ravelry Server via my Project page that this will grab attention behind the scenes. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #ravelry #newravelrydesign #knittersofravelry #ravelrycrochet #ravelrydesigner #ravelrydesigners #ravelryupdate #ravelryknitter #ravelryknitters #crochetersofravelry

Day 1 of Tour de Fleece: SQUEEEEE!!!!! My brand new @clemesandclemes Cotton Hand Carders arrived just in time to start this project. The fiber is 50/50 Camel/Silk. It’s going to try my patience for sure as long draw is way out of my comfort zone. I’m looking forward to improving!

I divided up my Flag Green for matchy sock spinning.

I’m trying my best to reach out to as many people as possible in hopes that my Theme can help them access the new Ravelry better. My Theme brings back a lot of Classic Ravelry that helps make the site easier to look at but keeps all the new UI menus and such. Unfortunately with the lack of the feedback forum threads I can’t reach out as easy and now I’m trying to find other means. Please feel free to repost and share this anywhere and everywhere so we can help more people together. Ravelry theme can be found in my Profile Link on IG. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #ravelry

I’m back with more updates! In V1.9 I fixed up the Login page including making the animation static. I checked the page today to share a screenshot with you all and noticed that the page now has a Play button in the bottom left corner. The animation for this page has been officially stopped!!!! It appears it will only be animated if you push the play button. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 In light of this I’ve returned the clouds(V2.0) as I had to remove them completely due to not being able to figure out how to nail them down. 🤣 I know many of us have been frustrated but things are looking a little bit better. Here’s hoping for continued progress. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #ravelry

Here’s Starla with her upgrades. She’s looking mighty fancy!

Starla and Bumbles got an UPGRADE!!!!! It’s all purely cosmetic. Upgrade includes new style face(no longer houses electronics), puffy rounded tension knob, tension pivots on carbon tubes, flyer hooks, and motor wires are now covered with a mesh sleeve. I’m so extremely excited about these updates. They look like brand new birds! 💚💛💚💛💚 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #spottedewefibers #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #starlingspinner #daedalusspinningwheels #starlingmini #starlingxl

At the end of last month @woolwench and I published our 7th issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine! I had an absolute blast with my article for this issue that was heavily inspired by @arohaknits. Her wonderful 5 Shawls 5 Days challenges have inspired me so much not only as a knitter but also as a spinner and have allowed me to love the process of sampling and swatching. This has helped me grow so much. I’m so thankful for how inspiring Frenchie is. I love that we can all inspire each other sometimes in ways we might not expect.
