Yarn

Today it’s 10F (that would be -12C for the rest of the world) outside, and the super-mittens are too warm!

Here’s another post that has languished unwritten in my queue.

Remember last fall I had a Ravelry pool going, with a sock yarn prize? Marion won, and I managed to successfully ship it to the Netherlands, and she likes it. (No, don’t look at the date on that post, and definitely don’t go look at the date I got in to Ravelry.)

This was an experiment in dyeing self-striping yarns. I dyed an extra-long skein so I could keep some for myself. Not a lot, but I got a pair of wristlets out of it. They just cover the annoying gap between my coat sleeves and the top of my gloves.

And they are indeed stripey.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
