ponchos a-comin'

Keep your eyes peeled for a series of new spring ponchos and shawls on my Etsy site, http://mollymillerbyappt.etsy.com/! They are mostly made of bamboo, although there is one VERY SPECIAL cashmere/silk one that I'm still debating whether to keep for myself!! These beauties will start appearing on my Etsy site in about a week - above is a sample photo of a poncho I currently have available.

DC Spin-Off!!

Last Sunday, we had a marathon spin-off with DC area (and one PA rep!) fiber artists! Steph (aka Loop - http://loop.etsy.com/), Liz (aka Hobbledehoy - http://hobbledehoy.etsy.com/), Abby (aka Folktale - http://folktale.etsy.com/) and Jenny all gathered together with our spinning wheels (five wheels and loads of fiber in my living room! so fun!!!!) and set three dye kettles a-boilin' on the stove. Steph also brought her drum carder, so we made batts, too!! What a day....I haven't had that much concentrated fibery-creation in a looooong time. It was such a blast. Each of these talented girls has her own little niche in the fiber universe, and it was so great to learn from each of them!!

See some photos here of the fun fiber times! :)

Spinning Spontaneity

Oh, how I love to spin and knit spontaneously. I often just start knitting without a clear picture of how where I'm headed. Admittedly, sometimes it ends up being a total disaster and I have to rip it out and start over....but other times it turns out amazingly! :) There's something very satisfying about working without a pattern.

To fulfill our collective need for fiber creations outside the box, Steph with Loop (http://loop.etsy.com/) has just started a Spontaneous Batts Club!!! You simply MUST check this out - each month for six months you get a one-of-a-kind, spontaneously carded fiber batt, which you then spin and knit in equally spontaneous fashion! Steph's batts are indescribably cool. Here are some photos of pieces I've spun and knit with her Spontaneous Batts. Wahoo!!!

Pluckyfluff's new book, Intertwined!!

Who else is completely in awe of Pluckyfluff's major skillz??? Her new book, Intertwined, is full of spinning instructions, tips, sources of inspiration, patterns, and really cool features like Wooldancer's super-coiled Collier (yay Michelle!!). The book is available at Amazon and is a MUST for anyone who loves fiber and non-traditional spinning techniques. Hooray! :)
