The 2015 Tour de Fleece has come to a close as of Sunday. This is my second time participating in this event, and I really enjoyed myself! Though my shoulder would say otherwise...I incurred a spinning injury and am having to take a few days off spinning to let it rest. How do you get a spinning injury from using a spinning wheel?

Can you believe it's been over a year since I've dyed yarn? I didn't realize so much time had passed! Last week I got out my pots and supplies and made some gorgeous new yarns for my Etsy shop! Let me do a little show and tell for you here.
First of all, I had a suggestion over on Ravelry in my group, The Purled Ewe, for a daffodil Kathryn http://www.blogger.com/profile/02293800630311909611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569518082246603339.post-68389913769793485372015-04-27T11:29:00.001-04:002015-04-27T11:29:32.314-04:00Spring Update!Hello!
I know it's been SUPER quiet around here over the past few months. My life has just been so crazy that it's been hard to get anything accomplished. Other than working on some commissions here and there, I was unable to really sit down and work on new additions for my shop.

It's winter time and with the snow on the ground and the temps below 20 degrees F, I'm feeling more like sewing than anything else. It's not that I don't want to dye the lovely yarn and fiber sitting in my closet, waiting for me and to go into my shop, it's just too cold! Too cold to be out in the garage dyeing, and without being able to open a window, I just don't feel Kathryn http://www.blogger.com/profile/02293800630311909611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569518082246603339.post-87702280049688379232014-12-30T12:55:00.003-05:002014-12-30T12:55:54.648-05:00Goodbye to 2014, and Hello to 2015
It's the end of 2014 and I feel like the year was mostly consumed with buying our first house! We started looking in May, made an offer in June, and moved in August. As I look back at my first post of the year here on my blog, and read through my goals for 2014, I realize that I didn't accomplish any of it! Well, OK, I did make some more hexipuffs, but that was it. &Kathryn http://www.blogger.com/profile/02293800630311909611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569518082246603339.post-11858065704097551102014-11-28T15:28:00.001-05:002014-11-28T15:28:11.867-05:00The Purled Ewe is having a SALE!

Over a year has passed since I began working on the Beekeeper's Quilt pattern. I made my very first hexipuff in March of 2013. My initial goal was to just knit like crazy, and hopefully finish a quilt in a year. I laugh at that thought now after finishing 100 hexipuffs this very morning!
For those of you asking "What is a hexipuff?" here is a picture of one. &Kathryn http://www.blogger.com/profile/02293800630311909611noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569518082246603339.post-79772753139794335542014-07-01T11:31:00.000-04:002014-07-01T11:31:26.677-04:00Remembering my sons todayMost people look forward to celebrating their children's 2nd birthday. They plan parties, send out invitations, and think of decorations. They buy gifts and think about the milestones that have happened in the past two years.

I'm sure many of you can relate to feeling like it's time to come out of hibernation. It has been a LONG winter here in Ohio. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the beautiful snow covered ground, but the bitter polar vortexes were rough! Looking back at the crafting I accomplished over the last few months has been pretty scarce.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from The Purled Ewe!
2013 has come and gone in quite a hurry, or so it feels that way to me. Now we are in 2014...a New Year for knitting, spinning, and dyeing adventures!
I've been in the process of writing this post for over a week now. We have been super busy with traveling for the holidays and this past weekend, we were in DC for my husband's work conference.Kathryn http://www.blogger.com/profile/02293800630311909611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569518082246603339.post-17936737134985937272013-12-15T14:54:00.000-05:002013-12-15T14:54:02.701-05:00Check out my Kool Yarns!
I spent most of last week at my dye pots playing with Kool Aid and Wilton's food coloring recipes. Some of the recipes were given to me by my good friend, Beth, and others were happy accidents or new creations by me. It's quite amazing the depth of color and range of color you can get simply with food coloring and Kool Aid packets. I have learned much in this week and Kathryn http://www.blogger.com/profile/02293800630311909611noreply@blogger.com0
