I’m so overjoyed that #tinystudioissue12 is out and the print issues are starting to arrive in various places across the globe. I got my print copies early and I’m so happy with how it turned it that it nearly brought me to tears. No crying on the pretty pages!!! 🥲 Absolutely stunning cover photos provided by @juliatselkova 🥰 #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #fiberart #weaving #weaversofinstagram #handweaversofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #fiberygoodness #tinystudiocreativelifemagazine


So uh… I have a lot of spinning works in progress. 😂 I currently have 19 in progress. So how do I keep track of all these projects? I have a short article in Issue 12 of tinyStudio Creative magazine about how I organize my WIPs to make sure each project is spun to my original intentions. #fiberygoodness #tinystudiocreativelifemagazine #learninglab #worksinprogress #spinnersofinstagram #handspunwool #handspinnersofig #yarnspinnersofinstagram


On Saturday during the @daedalusspinningwheels Saturday Zoom Spin In I plied all my sock spin up. I skeined and washed it yesterday and it’s all dry today and on the needles! This is Charollais/Bamboo/Silk dyed by @longdrawjames being spun at 65% on my Black/Teal Sparrow. James recently updated his shop full of all sorts of dyed pretties. #spinningyarn #handspun #handspinnersofinstagram #longdrawjames #ashenflock #Spin15aday #spinningforsocks #handspunsockyarn #electricspinningwheel #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalussparrow

Ends Per Inch(EPI) and Picks Per Inch(PPI), when both are the same you get a balanced cloth. The density of this weave is above and beyond what I’ve experienced with my past three projects. It’s taken me some time to get used to the harder beat to get 20 picks per inch! This creates a beautiful balanced weave and also keeps the squares nice and square. This Weave-a-long is hosted by at @hookandshuttle. There will be more Weave-a-longs in the future and they are ordering more yarn to make kits permanently available. If you have any questions about the kit just reach out to @hookandshuttle. ❤️ #endsperinch #picksperinch #balancedweave #balancedcloth #twill #2x2twill #weaving #weaversofig #handweaversofinstagram #babymacomber #floorloom #janestaffordonlineguild #fourshaftloom #hookandshuttle #hookandshuttlewal #hookandshuttleweavealong #outlander #outlanderweavealong


In addition to the gorgeous fiber from @fossilfibers another awesome package arrived on Friday. This seriously awesome @akerworks Tour de Fleece Trophy. I absolutely love the tandem bicycle design which fits so well with how we hosted the team on ravelry AND Discord. The @akerworks Team did such a wonderful job with this trophy. 💛 #akerworks #teamakerworks2021 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #spinnersofinstagram #handspunwool #handspinnersofig #yarnspinnersofinstagram

Spent some time today over at Sunny Jim’s Garden. They have the most beautiful Dahlias. I’m planning on stopping by tomorrow to bring home a few flowers for studio shoots. I’m so thankful to have such a wonderful garden like this close to home that is tended by two super lovely people who are kind enough to allow me to wander around the garden to take photos. @canonusa #canon #canoneosr5 #eosr5 #pnw #pacificnorthwest #naturephotography #floralphotography #flowerphotography #pnwdahlias #dahlia #dahliasofinstagram #dahliagarden #sunnyjimsgarden
