Swaping for yarn samples....I received my swaps...

I am finally getting around to posting what I received in exchange for the Fiber I traded on Ravelry (in the Phat Fiber Group). I truly enjoyed trading simply for the love of getting something new and something I can use. I had over purchased full size fiber and am only a beginning spinner. So, rather than have the fiber sit around unused, I decided to trade it and send it off to a good home.

First up:

My swap with The Critter Ranch on Ravelry

"Reserva" merino/silk from Friends in Fiber

These samples

I'm back to blogging after some time off

I haven't blogged in a while. My Grandfather was ill last month and passed away on the 21st of February due to complications of his illness.  It's been hard getting back into a set routine. I'm not 100% yet, but decided to make an effort because he'd want me to make the most of my crafting and other talents and not allow myself to get into a deep depression.  I miss him dearly.  ...
