Thanks for indulging me in my Battlestar Infusion of names. I loved the Series and have gotten a lot of inspiration from it's actors and writers. This is my idea of a pretty tweed. At 155 yards and 130 grams. I could have made it more even, but I like the way it looks as homespun and not very even. A while ago I bought some samplers of different wools so that I can try and see which I liked the best. It is so difficult. I guess Alpaca is so simple to choose, the Suri so soft and beautiful, yet any alpaca fiber is great to spin. Sheep wool is a different story, there are so many breeds and so different from one another, some are wiry , some are like cotton candy, some like a soft Brillo pad, some like spinning a cloud, all of them worthy of your time to test them. I can now confidently buy some fiber knowing what to expect from what I have spun. I still have some other fibers to spin, some targhee and some alpaca, and even mohair. Thanks for stopping by!
I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!
