Just Another Random Wednesday

| 4 Comments
What is it about midweek that leaves me feeling slumpish?  Not sure. So I will be random.  And maybe share a few interesting links.

  1. For those of you considering weaving, I encourage you to take a look at Syne Mitchell's WeaveZine.  It's full of interesting articles on weaving, with plenty of interest for people who enjoy rigid heddle looms.  This article on using a rug weaving technique to make Spa Wash Cloths has me ready to warp up my loom with some of the Sugar N' Cream that I have laying around and make some great treats for friends for the holidays. 
  2. Speaking of weaving, have you checked out Weavolution? Weavolution is the weaving community's answer to Ravelry.  You don't need to create an account to see much of the content.  Even if you don't weave, it's a fun place to look at projects and color combinations.
  3. Need some entertainment on a boring day at work? Passive-Aggressive Notes now has a permanent place in my Google Reader.  Fail Blog is also a pretty good place to waste some time. And even though we're in between political seasons, Pundit Kitchen serves up some interesting photo re-interpretation. 
  4. Who are my favorite Etsy sellers?  Emily Parson has just added a merino/cashmere/nylon blend yarn to her stock lines (and if you read my blog, you know I like a little nylon when it comes to socks!).  It looks delicious and I've already ordered mine -- Charcoal to make a warm pair of winter socks for a certain husband and Mossy (a soft green) for me.   I'm also a big fan of the sweet little knitting bags (perfect for sock projects... I have three or four of them now) made by Stuck in Illinois.  She has so many fun fabrics and keeps a supply of bags with "seasonal interest".  And she takes special orders, too!   Need a clever pillow for your sofa?  Be sure to check out Alexandra Ferguson.  All her awesome pillows are made from post-consumer recycled felt.  Add a modern element to your living room and feel good about it, too!
  5. The Dragon Shawl continues, the Kushu Kushu scarf gets longer, my Lang Sock gets bigger and the second Zebra Striper Sleeve remains to be cast on (and for Annie who was concerned about the size -- not to worry, that sleeve is no problem for a two year old hand -- it looks smaller in the picture than it really is.
Any favorite Etsy sellers you want to share?  Funny blogs you like to read?  Feel free to leave 'em in the comments.

A good Wednesday to everyone!

If you like to handspin look at TRINDELMAN on etsy. I have about 50 spindles and his spin the longest.

Ravelry now allows Weaving as a project category so you can put all your weaving projects in there too.

I completely forgot about WeaveZine! Those spa washcloths look like a great little project. Maybe this will be my next weaving project.
