This past weekend I did a quick trip there and back (swearing for most of the 5+ hour drive that my next car will have air conditioning) to look at apartments, and I&#8217;m happy to say I found one. I also stopped by The Purple [...]]]></description>

It didn&#8217;t take long before I was able to spin a consistent yarn, the key being not too add to much twist too soon: add a little twist, draft, add a [...]]]></description>

Between graduate school interviews and the accompanying travel, not to mention work and more work, I haven&#8217;t exactly had time to update the blog. I have been getting some spinning in, however, especially on my supported spindles. Yes, plural. Technically I have three now, between the Grippingyarn Russian-style, the [...]]]></description>

My main interest in sewing is making clothes, but most classes on making a garment fall well outside my price range. I&#8217;m at the point in [...]]]></description>
