Spinning....

By -
I have been inspired to start learning how to spin yarn. Don't ask me why, but I have. I think it is the fact that I will aspire in my life time to do every crafty thing there is to do. So I have been browsing the Ravelry site and talking to other people that spin, so I bought a drop spindle and some Merino top and sari silk to practice on. This is my first attempt at spinning I think there is a little to much twist in it, but whateva. I also made a little flower with it.

New Etsy Website-Sparkleshan Knits

A few months ago I decided to open a new Etsy shop.  Some of you may know that I used to sell handspun yarn on Etsy a few years back.  Due to life I closed the shop a few years back and haven't really been spinning yarn much.  Well I am still ever crafting and knitting.  I decided to open shop again because I really like sharing my creations with other people.  It's really satisfying to know that someone enjoys the things that I make with my hands and with my heart :) My new Etsy shop is called SparkleShan Knits. I am selling hand made baby, child and adult headbands, hand made jewelry and hand knit accessories.  I am also taking custom order requests.  I am trying to add items to my shop frequently so keep checking back for new hand made items.  If you would like to request a custom order you can message me directly on Etsy or email me at sparkleshanknits@gmail.com

Day #8 Fiberuary Challenge 2021

This year I will....make more time for knitting and crafting. My soul NEEDS to be creative on a regular basis. I can't really explain it but when I can't do this I feel out of balance and like something is missing from me. That's why this year our family has made every Sunday "craft day". This year I will finish WIPs that have been sitting for years. Like my first finished knitting project of 2021 that I am wearing in this picture. It is the  #outlinewrap  pattern designed by  #beatajezek  that I started in November 2015. It's been sitting for years 95% done. So I decide to make a plan to work on a WIP on my two days a week at the hospital during my lunch break. And I finished this in a week and a half! Yarns:  @maplewoodkindercoop   #bohoknitterchicspins  indie dyed &  @fleeceartist_handmaiden  purchased from  @colorsong_by_twitchyhands This year I am going to step fully into my power and continue to elevate my vibrations and those ...
