As we sit here in the final days of 2010, I can&#8217;t help but look back over the last year.  For me, fate put me on a roller-coaster in late March, and didn&#8217;t really let me off the ride until this fall.  There was no activity here on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally knit my first pair of handspun socks.  I finished knitting them in December, but I just finished up weaving in the ends and blocking them. The yarn was spun from a Dicentra Designs 80% Merino / 20% Tussah Silk roving in the Margartiaville colorway that I received for my birthday.  I started spinning [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The thread plied yarn I posted about before is finally finished. I began by winding it off the bobbin and on to my niddy-noddy. You can see how much twist is still in the yarn as I took it off of the niddy-noddy.  I&#8217;m used to the yarn twisting on itself lightly, but this was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on spinning yarn using some new-to-me techniques over the past week or so.  It all started when I decided to spin up one of the batts that I made back in July, when I borrowed Kate&#8217;s drumcarder.  I&#8217;d been photographing them to put into my Ravelry stash, and I thought I should [...]]]></description>

There was dyeing of fleece and fiber.   There was lots of spinning.   We had our own Fiber Bus full of fiber to try and buy.   For extra fun, there was drum carding.   I didn&#8217;t do any dyeing, [...]]]></description>

First, I decided to divide each of the colors in half by weight so that I had two piles with equal color amounts.  In each pile was 0.5 ounces of the blue and screaming [...]]]></description>
