a little over 400yds, 2ply

This was LOVELY to spin – but of course it’s merino, which just slips nicely through the fingers.  I think my plying is getting a [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like…

This past Sunday was the big Christmas party/knitter’s gift exchange at Jacquie’s house, and boy, it did NOT disappoint.  The gift exhange was done “bad santa” style, where everyone draws a number and picks gifts from under the tree….OR steals a gift from someone who had gone before them.  This always starts out tame and [...]

spun-zen

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 [...]

a rewarding week

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 [...]

insoluable fiber

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

and the answer is YES, I DO! The summer heat has sucked away much of my knitting mojo, but with [...]

    Large Boobed Friend: So my friend thinks I should get a sleeveless wedding dress.
    All of us: NO WAAAAY!!!
    LBF: Right? I told her, how would I even support my body in something like that, and she said "It's called boning, duh!"
    Me: Oh my god, you'd need, like, the WHOLE WHALE!

    men should take advantage of the lack of dress code rules set for guys and wear mini skirts and tank tops to school every day

    AND THEY GOT ALL CALLED IN THE PRINCIPAL’S ROOM

    BUT THEY DIDNT GOT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE

    My brother, Aaron, did this once. The principal called my mom to let her know her son wore a skirt to school. My mom said “Well?  Is it against the rules?”  

    The principal got flustered and said, that, well no, it’s not, but that it was causing a distraction and that was against the rules.  Mom wanted to know if she needed to bring him clothes to change into, and the principal said no, Aaron had worn shorts under the skirt, so he just had to take the skirt off.  

    So mom finally asked “Well then why did you call me???”  The principal didn’t really have a good answer to that one.

    Sadie: I HAVE TO GO OUT
    Me: What? You just peed an hour ago. And it's pouring down rain out there.
    Sadie: I HAVE TO POOP
    Me: You hate the rain.
    Sadie: I HAVE TO POOP NOW
    Me: OK then.
    Me: *later, at her pooping spot, in the rain*
    Sadie: I NO LONGER HAVE TO POOP
    Me: What? You were DESPERATE to go, five minutes ago.
    Sadie: I DON'T LIKE THE RAIN. I DON'T HAVE TO POOP.
    Me: I am not falling for this. 10 minutes inside, and you'll be crying to go out again.
    Sadie: NO I WON'T.
    Me: We are staying out here until you poop.
    Sadie: I HATE YOU
