  working on a bedspread made from all handspun yarn (a project i started eons ago and will probably finish eons from now) the yarn shown is all made by pinkpeppercorns.com and an antique pram my mom got me for $55! it is made by motoride and i think it might be from the 30's? it needs to be cleaned up. I LOVE IT!!! :) it also all folds up, totally works, and it swings, as well! 34 weeks pregnant

There is has been a resurgence in interest in spinning and in using one-of-a-kind yarns, particularly by the all new knitters and crocheters, and there are no other cutting-edge, inspiring books out there to satisfy this enthusiastic audience.

http://openfordesign.msn.com/default.aspx?id=5tech1_wertheim>1=9166well, i'm glad the dr's at cornell university are finally figuring this out! duh :) now if they will just pay attention to STRING THEORY in this way. practically the entire workings of the universe can be conceived in crochet, knitting and weaving, etc. AUM. +++ no, i haven't crocheted anything for the baby in my belly yet (over 20 weeks now! ultrasound at the end of this month!) but i think i better start crocheting up some simple hats to sell to pay my midwife, etc! i hope i find the energy!

("anthem" yarn by lexi "pluckyfluff" boeger, http://www.pluckyfluff.com made from cassette tape and roach clips. seriously, the most unique yarn i have ever worked with! i can't even explain it, the texture....amazing! you really have to see it in real life...it must have taken her days to make it, the cassette tape was carefully and perfectly wrapped/coiled around a thin wool center. the white cashmere yarn made by me.) ( Read more... ) 18 weeks pregnant. you guess!
