Check out my spinning blog!

I've started another blog about a beginner's adventure in spinning and dyeing yarn. Hop on over and say hello!

Welcome to Yarn equals love!

The point of this blog is to share my experiences as a beginner in the world of spinning and dyeing yarn. This is what I've done so far:
  • Bought a spindle off Etsy. (ford4him)
  • Bought 6 ounces of roving wool on Etsy (undyedyarns)
  • Bought 6 bags of Kool-Aid from my local grocery store.
Once the Etsy stuff arrives, I'll do some spinning and post it up here! Keep tuned. :]

Octopus

I made another octopus! :] There are four major differences between this one and my pink octopus.
  1. This time, it's a boy.
  2. He's purplish-blue, not pink.
  3. I used half round eyes for the first time!
  4. He is listed in my etsy, for those of you interested.

On another note, I am planning to start another blog in a couple of weeks about my adventures in yarn spinning and dyeing (those adventures haven't started yet, but it's going to be a beginner's adventure in spinning and dyeing yarn.) So keep your eyes peeled!

I'm starting an etsy shop!

:] and I love it... I have listed 3 things so far, a scarf knit by my mom, and 2 scarves knitted by me. Me and my mom are sharing the etsy shop, so she gets the profit from her items, and I get the profit from my items. So hop on over there and tell me what you think! http://www.sunniefairy.etsy.com/

Here's the stuff we have listed so far:

Thick and Warm scarf made by me
(I knit this one... LOVE, LOVE this yarn.)

My mom's scarf
(My mom knit this one... pretty funky, huh?)

Soy-wool scarf made by me
(I knit this one... the colors are beautiful!)

Me modeling my mom's scarf
...and finally you get to see me! The mastermind behind Octopi Crafts... or so they say ;]
