Exploring the world of fiber, one draft at a time

My posting can be as frequent or infrequent as my spinning, so be as patient as that fiber, sitting in my stash.

A Spinner's Journal

Wonder what I've been working on the past few months? Knitting? Spinning? Dyeing? Nope it's been a whole new experience for me, as creator and designer of the book, A Spinner's Journal.
I am a list maker, note taker at heart. For years I've kept spinning notes, in calendars, in notebooks, in fancy handmade paper books, and sadly just plain on bits of paper. I still look back on these notes now and then, and find that the information there, often scanty, is still helpful and enjoyable to read. I decided I needed a better way of archiving the process of turning that fiber into yarn, and beyond that, maybe other spinners would like to buy the same thing. The concept for the Spinner's Journal was born, tended, grew and finally is available for purchase. A peek inside: (the copyright part does not show in the actual book, I put that on here for the photo)
I've done a short promo podcast at Yarnspinnerstales that describes the book in more detail. There's a link right over there on the right side of this page that says A Spinner's Journal. Click on that and it will take you right to the page to buy it. Try it, I think you'll like it! I personally think it's fantastic :)
