Must Have More Yarn!Must Have More Yarn! http://laell.org/WordPress The ruminations of a computer geek obsessed by making yarn and the things that can be created from yarn.

EKF Bliss "Amphitrite"

"Amphitrite"

Why now I wonder?  Was it because I redid my blog? Heck, had I known it was that easy, I would have redone it months ago!  Maybe it has something to do with this delightful bump of Bliss in a colourway called “Amphitrite” lovingly created by the absolutely amazing Josette of Enchanted Knoll Farm that keeps crossing my path?

I will never know for sure what is luring my mojo back and I really do not care.  I just want my mojo back!

I need to go fondle some fiber…

Bruised...and Abby Batt

An Abby Batt

In celebration of my new blogginning and blog look, I felt this beautiful batt by Abby Franquemont of Franquemont Fibers/Abby’s Yarns would compliment the header image very nicely.  The colourway is called “Bruised” and I absolutely love the beautiful colors in this batt.  One of these days I might actually spin it…

Every blog should have some fiber pr0n on it right?

A while ago I lost my knitting and spinning mojo and I still have not found it.  One of these days it will turn up (I hope).  At least I’m not the only one who has lost her mojo.  The April 8, 2012 episode of TheKnitGirllls podcast, Episode 105 – Where Has All the Mojo Gone? fits nicely into the whole missing mojo thing.

I am a voracious reader and frequently sell parts of my library off through Half.com.  Feel free to take a look at my current offerings HERE.
