I've spun yarn for some years, and when I found myself with more yarn than I knew what to do with it only made sense to sell it.<br />
<br />
Below are photos of what I have in my shop currently, with links to them.<br />

It was from my friend The Belly Dancer, and guess what it contained?<br />

This is wool that's not ready to be spun yet, and I've never gotten ahold of anything like this before. It needs to be washed and, perhaps most importantly, carded. So if I want to do anything (other than ooo and aah over it) with this present I have three options (ok, only two once my budget is taken into account):<br />
<br />
1) make do with something I can buy from the local store, but which isn't actually designed for the job<br />
2) buy some proper hand carders to do the job<br />
3) buy a <a href="http://www.pacificwoolandfiber.com/Drum%20Carders.htm">drum carder</a> -- this is what I reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy want, but it's just too pricy<br />
<br />

Yesterday I got the above hand carders in the mail. And since I didn't think to remove the price tag before taking the photo you can see how much they cost ($58.95). I might not have bought them if I had to pay rent and bills, but as it is I'm living with my parents and have some of money in the bank. So I can indulge myself a little bit.<br />
<br />

Today I finally started figuring out how to use my hand carders, and as you can see Kokopelle kept me company. Amazingly, he didn't actually get in my way! <br />
<br />

I came to one conclusion: hand carding is dangerous work! lol<br />
<br />
I'm sure that I'll learn to avoid cuts as I become more experienced and less clumsy. Plus my hands will hurt less once I've developed callouses.<br />
<br />

And here is the product of my labor so far. They're called rolags. They're far from perfect, but I'm sure they're usable...even though the yarn is pretty much guaranteed to have an interesting character! :)<br />
<br />
What I really need though is someone to teach me. I've looked at YouTubes but that can only go so far -- a video can't look at what I'm doing and tell me specifically what <i>I </i>need to do differently. I tried getting in touch with local spinners last year but had no luck; the contact person for one group had died a few months previously, and the contact person for the other never got back to me.<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll have better luck finding a spinners group in the area this year.<br />

But until now I've never had a pattern in which I do anything more or less than 1/2 a square in cross stitch. See the following photo if you want to see what I mean by doing more or less than 1/2 a stitch. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/112929805504933460526/DragonflySLaughter?authkey=Gv1sRgCNf2qY6-j6HARA#5627096874746462306'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii1BE-lYg3-sOLeKi3gyv3W0buqA2vGFZ27Qbrp3VUEgvIrbNQ-vznVc-P5d8t05OkzBOqXbnrWXI-QcvjPykWq7T2ocFE9fihNuijTuIHaehCmmcMeOnbbjm5y15gUEqi-wb5nNNaxtU/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Please forgive the photo quality.

The theme? Pagan. For the most part. (Actually I Googled "Pagan bumper stickers" and wrote down my favorites.) Here is the list I've come up with.<br />

Do you have any favorites on this list? Do you have any to add?<br />

I recently returned home from Canada with some Canadian coins. Happily, this means that I can use them in addition to USA coins to illustrate sizes. =)<br />

Highland Games, and while I was there I discovered stick weaving. I'd never heard of it before, and when I found out that there was a kit for stick weaving for sale I soon decided that I had to buy it.<br />
<br />
I took photos of the first thingy I made with it (because I'm just weird like that) and wanted to share them here.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking that I might make little patches with this and do needlework on the patches for my Etsy shop.<br />

Ta da! My first stick woven thingy completed. :)<br />
<br />
It's really easy.<br />
<br />
I tried to find the place I bought it from online so that I share a link here, but no luck. All I can tell you is that their e-mail addy is celtic_daughters_art@yahoo.ca. I also had a really good conversation about SCA with the woman who demonstrated stick weaving to me and who sold me the kit.<br />

And of course you can find all of them <a href="http://www.dragonflyslaughter.etsy.com/">on my Etsy shop</a>!<br />
<br />
ps. Be sure to also check out <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dragonflyslaughter">my Facebook page</a>. :)Sarita Ruckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08616981448481642525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756709154780790797.post-61534375858012327852011-06-23T16:53:00.000-07:002011-06-23T16:53:07.151-07:00My FB pageHere is a re-post from my main blog.<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
<br />
In case you don't already know, I sell fun handmade stuff (made by yours truly) on my Etsy shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DragonflysLaughter?ref=si_shop">Dragonfly's Laughter</a>.<br />
<br />
And also in case you don't already know, my online shop also has <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dragonflys-Laughter/128946057142385">a facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
And I am going to be absolutely shameless here and ask you to go to my FB page and, if you like what you see, to *like* that page.<br />
<br />
(Of course, if you <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> like what you see you can also stop by my Etsy shop and buy whatever has captured your fancy!)<br />
<br />
I'm making this request because my URL for the FB page currently looks like this: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dragonflys-Laughter/128946057142385. I'd like for it to look something more like www.facebook.com/DragonflysLaughter. That would look much nicer, wouldn't it? But I need to have 25 *likes* for the page before I can change it, and since I'm currently sitting at 21 *likes* that means that I only need four of you to help me out here.<br />
<br />
Of course, if more than four of you want to *like* my page I won't complain... ;)<br />
