Loose ends…..a baby sweater WIP

I am fairly certain my least favorite part of a project is dealing with all the finishing. Depending on the object, I try to weave in ends as I go, but this has not been happening lately. This sweater by DROPs Design is called the McDreamy. I loved it on the little baby model in

More of my husband’s fiber handmade tools, spindles!

We have been really busy lately! With work and the kids and college classes, I haven’t had much free time and what time we do get is spent in the beautiful spring outdoors. I do have a couple WIP’s going on, but lately it has been easier to instagram those, come find me as bekhiann,

Homeade e-spinner that rocks

I think a while back I mentioned my husband was building me a spinning wheel. I am a novice spinner, having only had a single beginners drop spindle and a new laceweight trindle, with exactly one skein of lovely spindle spun yarn finished since I began trying to spin. My husband only took a minor

Fiber Festivals!! Homespun Yarn Party, Savage Mill Maryland

This was quite fun. My friend Vanessa of The Vintage Rose Knittique mentioned to me last week about this Homespun Yarn Party only 2 hours away. I checked out the list of vendors and was totally excited to see a bunch of really indie dyers, expecting a bunch of one of a kind fun stuff

Finished Object: Knit Oaklet Shawl

Simple Adventures: Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts

I took my husband and kids back to my hometown of Cedarburg, Wisconsin for Christmas this year. I love Wisconsin, and even more so love Cedarburg, with it’s quaint old-world charm. In some recent years, a little museum sprang up quite close to my parents house- and I have driven past it wishing I could go

Finished Object: Handspun Hat

Do you remember the handspun yarn I made a while back? It is now a hat! I used the Stratford pattern by Zandt Kennett. I absolutely love it and wear it everywhere. I am now more pumped than ever to spin, I am not sure I have a knitted piece I am more proud of
