Throwback to when I decorated a #babesfibergarden pinkie wheel for a local weaving & spinning studio on the Oregon coast. This was really fun. I've got a @spinolution #pollywog wheel I'm painting for a friend that I'll blog about once it's finished.
Years ago there was a "Project Handspun" (like Project Runway) where spinners were challenged to choose a decade and spin a yarn inspired by that decade. I, of course, chose 1890. Because #GibsonGirlHair what can I say. This yarn has antique buttons, lace, and heavy blue cashmere #GibsonGirl puffs.
Looking for weavers to follow for inspiration... Who do you recommend?
Someone recently told me that they wished they had gone to yarnival. That it looked like a "Woodstock for Spinners" - I was blessed to attend the first 2 Yarnivals (there were 3 total) and my favorite part was being in the nebulous of the creative spinning community for that brief moment of time before we all exploded into different, unique, wonderful directions. I can still smell the California vineyards and hear @pluckyfluff "Hoodlehoot" at @jazzturtle across the property and laugh at @girlwithahook making faces about the heat while @lisareneemckenzie and I made too many inside jokes to count #andavocado.
I will always and forever love this wheel. I sold her to a good friend of mine when our car was repossessed without warning.(note: don't assume your bank autopay is working as you're moving cross country multiple times...) Selling the Purl was one of my rock bottom moments that ended up in an unexpected happily ever after.... This wheel has some stories to tell, which I'll be sharing on my blog soon.
