East Kentucky Fibers

I’ve been putting blogging off for quite a while, so I’m trying to get something down here so I’m not plagued by guilt.

A lot has happened since I last wrote. I’m now the proud mother of 3 kentucky mountain horses. First I bought two chocolate fillies that I couldn’t resist, they’re half sisters and [...]

I sure have been away from the old blog, and I’m ashamed of myself. What happened was that I let my journal get behind and I’m not allowed to blog if my journal isn’t up to date. So I’m all caught up and I have time to blog now. I’ve been up to lots of [...]

I had such a grand time being gone for the last few weeks. I went to Park Lake in Fleming County, KY where my Grandmother Wood has a beautiful hundred and something year old cabin.

It’s my favorite place in the entire world. She put a TV while I was there, with a dish, much [...]

I’ve currently been struggling through spandex hell, I had a breakthough with the nylon thread though. I’ve been trying to make a swimming suit and it’s rough. The plan is to make a tank top kind of top and shorts for the bottom, I have the bottoms made and they kind of fit, but they’re [...]

Well, I’m home for the summer now. It’s exciting. The move out was stressful, I had way too much stuff, many bags of wool, all my equipment, and junk I don’t need. I’m going to try to pack lighter next semester. I say that every time. I’ll try really hard though. I’ve been trying to [...]

Well, I haven’t written for a while. I haven’t gotten much done either, so it doesn’t make much of a difference. My little strawberries are growing so sweetly.

I’ve been trying to work on the Child’s First Sock, but I’m being too lazy and messing up the shell pattern every time. I just need to [...]

I’m getting ready to be very busy, so I thought I’d post before I begin the insanity. This weekend I’ll write a ten page paper on a soon-to-be-determined topic in Appalachian history. I also have to revise 6 or so Spanish papers and write a new one. I’ve been getting some stuff done though. I [...]

This post is going to be a big one because I haven’t written for a while. I’m sad that my mother didn’t get her farm, but a better one will come along. I’ve been getting a lot done and started since I wrote last. I experimented with spinning Joey’s hair. It was interesting and messy. [...]

I haven’t posted for a few days, but this one is going to have many pictures, so it’ll be alright. I went home this weekend again. Debbie, a woman who keeps a couple horses where Joey lives, and I went trail riding by ourselves on friday, it was a lot of fun. It was her [...]

I finished spinning the prettiest yarn today, I adore it. Once I’ve got it all chilled out and ready to go I’ll put it on Etsy.

I also finished a pinkish burgundy colored yarn that’s less exciting, but pretty as well. The gorgeous yarn was spun with my new Rambouillet and the pink is from East [...]
