Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Beaker, Gonzo, Kermit, Fozzy, Animal, Professor Honeydew......



All my favorite little muppets pureed into one pretty yarn. I was thinking this would make a great sweater for my daughter but now that I have a fresh batch of roving, I'm thinking of making a sort of fair isle thing with koolaid yarn. I'll explain more as the days go by. I'll get to dying it later and hopefully start spinning this weekend. Its nice to have a definite project to work towards. I'm getting excited. I've even set a sort of deadline for myself. This cardigan for my little miss will be her spring jacket, so it needs to be done by April. I can do it if I don't get too sidetracked.

I have had people lately call my pottery a hobby, and in the next breath ask if I'm going to be doing fiber as a business. Pottery is my job. It never was a hobby for me. It was an art form that I loved and ever since my first class in high school, I knew someday it would become my line of work. As in any job there are times I hate it, overall I do have to say that I love my job. I'm learning to take all the ups and downs in stride and accept the pitfalls along with the good times. Pottery is my job and while I enjoy it, I don't find it as calming as a hobby. I used to sew as a hobby, but when I started to sell that as a business on Ebay, that became less fun, but I love it none-the-less. Spinning and knitting is now my only real hobby. I may sell something here or there as time goes on and I make something worthy of selling, or sell some dyed roving to help with the cost of my fiber obsessed hobby, but I loath the idea of it ever becoming a job. I need a hobby and I hope this stays my hobby.

Berry fields never became mittens. The sock bug bit me. The heels and toes will be done in the pink barf that I used on M's mittens. I'm trying to use up the yarn and I'm not sure there is enough of the berry fields to make a full pair of socks. I'm still learning how much roving it will take to complete these items. I'm getting pretty even at coming up with worsted weight yarn. Sure I have thick and thin spots. I'm still learning and that is half the fun. If you want to see another fiber hound that has fabulous colored rovings and is great at spinning and coming up with patterns, go see The Yarn Junkie.
