Thinking, and Swatching.. and Anyone Want Some Fiber?

Many of you who have visited lately have been asking about knitting looms. It’s not a wonder that people would ask about them. I haven’t been showing much of them, because with starting school up full swing, I haven’t been using them! (or any fiber related toys for that matter!)

Also, many of the questions have been questions that new, people unschooled in the art of loom knitting would ask.

So, my plan is to start a series of video tutorials on loom knitting. And as Maria would say.. we should start from the very beginning!  So barring any trouble we will ‘cast on’ for our journey next week!

Here is a little into I did a while back.. enjoy!

 

And don’t worry you old timers. I have been thinking about you too! And swatching..

I am determined to finish this mysterious object soon! I think it will be fun!

Also you spinners out there. I am destashing my fiber stash!

It’s certainly nothing special but here it is..

This is some wool, I don’t know what kind.. I have about 50 grams of each of these colors. It was sold in lots of 5 colors like this, I have two.

So I will sell it for $8.00 per lot +shipping.

This is a mystery roving. I don’t know where I got it, it is definitely wool. Soft but not too soft! It is enough to fill a plastic grocery bag.. I have no idea of the weight, but I could see this going far!

$7.00 +shipping

Drop me a line if you are interested in any of the fiber. I think it would be a great way for a beginning spinner to get some cheap fiber to play with!

  1. The mystery roving is very pretty 🙂 I’d be tempted if I knew how to spin. But I don’t. And these days I barely have any time for the yarn let alone learning a new thing. Summer… Come back!!!
