		<description><![CDATA[OK, so here&#8217;s the thing:
DOUBLEWEAVE IS THE COOLEST THING EVAR!
Ahem.
Seriously, though, it really is ridiculously cool. I&#8217;m making a wool blanket that&#8217;s twice as wide as the warp on the loom, weaving one layer of cloth atop the other with an attached side that&#8217;s just a fold in the center. Seems impossible, but it&#8217;s completely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too Pretty Not to Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, I am a bad bad blogger. I keep finishing things and taking pictures, but forgetting to put them up. This will be a short little post with pictures, because the Hanami Stole really just speaks for itself. It&#8217;s lovely! Thank you Melanie of Pink Lemon Twist for creating this pattern. I&#8217;ve knitted it up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unseasonable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
April 1, 2010: High of 80+ degrees Fahrenheit.
The gooseberry bush is nearly in full leaf, the daffodils are blooming, and the forsythias burst into bloom today.
After work, I spun purple corriedale and silk on the front porch and posted to the blog.
This is April 1 in Chicago. Given the weather and the events of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Felt the Pain Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have avoided felting. It seems an unkind and unnatural thing to do to yarn than one has loved, fondled, and turned into something wonderful. I am a spinner, after all, and it just seems odd to take perfectly good yarn &#8212; yarn that has been organized into sensible plies &#8212; and then force it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Passing On&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pretty pleased with this stuff! It&#8217;s a 2-ply merino in a medium blue with some purple and pale gold heathered throughout. I picked it up at The Fold some time ago, while Toni (the proprietor &#38; wise woman of fiber) was hosting a fiber-related estate sale for an area spinner who had died.
I should [...]]]></description>

		<title>Owe You A Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Blog,
I have been neglectful and poorly behaved. My life has been very strange for a couple of months now, and although it&#8217;s in the process of sorting itself out, posting has been low on my list of priorities. In the near future, I plan to correct this with an inundation of posting &#8212; you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Threshhold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, dear. I&#8217;ve been away a while &#8212; not for lack of doing postable things, mind you. In fact, it&#8217;s an overabundance of postable things that has had me so tired at the end of the day that the thought of writing anything at all sent me directly to sleep.
Here is the beginning of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spin to Weave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I keep beginning posts and then setting them aside because I&#8217;ve not quite finished the project&#8230;or have something else I want to write about&#8230;or (best of all!) Have Finished Something Else. In very good news for me, this post is delaying two others for the latter reason. Hot damn and holy hallelujah!
This is my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illusion of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was very young, I had a spider marionette that I used to make dance and walk. I really loved that spider and had a wonderful time trying to figure out how to make it move so that it seemed real. Then, as life often goes, my interests shifted and I became fascinated by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like a crazed spider&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been spinning like mad lately &#8212; handspun for weaving, for knitting, for the sheer pleasure of wheel and spindle.



bits and bobbins


I am beginning to think that the crazier the world gets, the more appealing spinning yarn is to me. I don&#8217;t suppose there&#8217;s any way to spin straw into gold, is there?
How about Corriedale [...]]]></description>
