For anyone considering buying a wheel, I highly recommend it. I know I’ve been using a borrowed wheel for the past *cough* year now, but having a wheel of your own? Is awesome.
I also highly recommend buying on at a fiber festival. Because when you buy a wheel at a fiber festival? People treat you like you just had a BABY. More »
Whew, made it! Out of the parking garage, and through my first week at my new job. It’s been fun, busy, somewhat boring, and awesome all around. It was a trial by fire, really, as they threw us into a huge undertaking that while not mentally challenging, was still quite the challenge to get done by the deadline. In the end we finished in plenty of time, with the recruited help from all over the office (never would have made it without the help) and got treated by the manager of Quality Assurance to lunch yesterday, as a thank you for a job well done.

So some of you may be asking “Does ESC still do anything crafty or fiber related?”
OK, a few of you. Not most of you. Most of you just shut up and keep reading

But I still managed to spin a fairly decent yarn with it. I finished spinning and started plying last night, and then finished plying this afternoon. More »
Today Sandy had some of us over to her house for fiber dyeing fun. This was ideal for me, because:
1. I need to dye some yarn as per my Mission Possible 2008 objectives
2. Dyeing at Sandy’s meant her house got messed up, not mine More »
It’s snowing in atlanta, which means all natives here are throwing one big panicked shit-fit. Case in point? My choir practice was canceled. Mind you, it’s just barely sticking to the grass, and not at all on the roads. But I am not complaining, because the entire city will be driving like it’s brimstone falling from the sky instead of snow. More »
