The inverse of the prior photo in this series. I’m not sure which I like better the golden over the blue or the blue over the golden. 💙💚💛 . This spin is for my article “Turkish Spindles, Sleeping Turtles, and Matching Socks” in the Winter Issue of @plymagazine. I’ll be sharing some in progress turtles here and be sure to pick up a copy of the issue to see the full spin and article. ❤️ #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #spinningforsocks #threewatersfarm

These Mini Spindles are so fun to spin and even more fun to photograph. I really need to make sure the next project isn’t heirloom carrot color as this is the second project now that looks like carrots. 😂 Delicious 15.5 micron Merino dyed by @woolgatherings. #Akerworks #AkerworksMiniSpindle #Akerworksspindles #minispindle #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #woolgatherings

Just finished up the 4th spindle for this project and now onto the last one! It’s amazing how quickly this fiber spins up with this spindle. Beautiful 15.5 micron Merino dyed by @woolgatherings ❤️ #Akerworks #AkerworksMiniSpindle #Akerworksspindles #minispindle #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #woolgatherings

Alrighty back to the works in progress! This and what follows are all projects I started this year! This beauty I picked up at @blacksheepgathering from one of my favorite vendors @greenwoodfiberworks. This is one of her heathered BFL bundles in the colorway Mallard. As soon as I purchased my very first Jenkins Horn Turkish Spindle I immediately went to seek out fiber I felt would look beautiful against the colors of the spindle. This was it! All these gorgeous colors were perfect! I’m looking forward to finishing this up in the new year. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #greenwoodfiberworks #jenkinsturkishspindle #tinystudio #timsystudiobox

SQUEE!!!! The Digital version of the Sock issue released today!!! I checked it out as soon as I woke up and it is such a gorgeous and amazing issue. If you love to make socks or are wanting to this is a definite must have issue. For those of you who've already checked it out I'd love to hear your thoughts on my article. I had such a blast working on it. #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spinningforsocks

My first published articles!!!

Hiya everyone!
I'm so super excited about this. In the past month I had my first three articles published! The first one I worked on this year was for PLY Magazine for their Winter 2018 Sock Yarn issue. The digital issue just released today and the print copy will be shipping out this week! The other two articles I wrote for tinyStudio Creative Life a new digital magazine that just launched its first issue on November 23rd! I never thought this was something I'd ever have the opportunity to do so it's been quite a thrill to work on these projects. If you aren't subscribed to these two magazines I'd highly recommend them both!
