Updates and bad pictures

Hiya!


I spent the afternoon building a 'photo studio' only to take many horrible photos.


It seems it is a tad overcast here in the pacific northwest (go figure!).


I need to tweak the photo studio a bit I believe and figure out what the issue is.


For now I will update the yarns that I have decent photos of and put the rest up tomorrow after I reshoot.

Nov. 9th Yarn update!

I just updated the One-of-a-Kind Gallery with 12 new skeins!


Here is a link to the Flickr Gallery so you can see all of the yarns in one place.



They will be removed from the shop as they sell.


Phew!Time for some couch with knitting!


Maeve is the yarn made from the batt shown in yesterday's post.

Creativity!

It has been so long since I have spun for the mere sake of creating. I have had so many orders to fill, which is fantastic & phenomenal (yay orders!), but I miss spinning for the mere sake of creating.


So, after picking up the biggest fiber-gasm EVER, 75 lb of heaven....



I spent the day designing, carding and spinning a one-of-a-kind pile of skeins, which will go on the site for sale Fri. or Sat. so stay tuned!


Here is one of the batts, for a teaser.


Back to the wheel!

Crochet

Crochet crochet crochet crochet


I have many ideas for crochet patterns for the site, but need help getting them written up and tested, etc.


Anyone out there willing to tackle this drop me a line, I pay in yarn.

Busy fall~

It's been a busy month of custom orders and shop orders, in case you have been wondering why the shop updates have been sparse.


Here are some pics of yarns from the past few days including the ATTACK of the Tree hat Kits! I swear I have been seeing green and hearing jingle bells in my sleep.








phew!


back to work

Gremlins and lessons learned....

It's been a hectic few weeks here in Material Whirled!


Tree Hat kits are selling like hotcakes! I make a point to where mine when I spin them, keeps me in the spirit!

I plan to update the Yarn Shop today, sorry for those who were watching this weekend for the posted update. I seem to have gotten a nasty gremlin infection in my hard drive and had to install a brand spanking new one! Needless to say it took a hefty chunk of time out of my schedule. Now I am back up and running with triple the drive space I previously had AND a shiny, pretty new external BACKUP drive. snort. lesson learned.


I only lost a months worth of pictures, including the pics from our trip to the Pacific, and my bookmarks.


My mom was here for a 10 day visit and we had a great time. This is her first trip to our new home and she helped me prep tree skein ornaments and made curtains for the girls cottage/fort. I will post pics of them in my personal blog soon.


Well, back to the wheel!
