		<description><![CDATA[I finally finished spinning for my HHHH swap pal and the fiber is now on its way. I bought the fiber from FatCatKnits, entitled &#8216;Night Vine&#8217; &#8211; 4 ounces of Merino&#8230; It went from this&#8230; to this&#8230; to this&#8230; 173.33+ yards of chain-plied handspun yarn. I didn&#8217;t get a WPI, but it seemed to mostly range from sport to worsted. Ironically, this is the most yardage I&#8217;ve gotten so far in my spinning. That would have been the only reason<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=397">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I joined the Hush Hush Handspun Hootenanny swap. We got our pals on July 7th. This is my second swap (I did sockapalooza 4 last year) and I&#8217;m very excited about this one! I&#8217;ve heard from the person who is spinning for me, which makes me very happy. Three weeks ago, I bought fiber to spin for my pal, which has several colors my pal likes and two weeks ago, it finally arrived!! It&#8217;s called &#8216;Night Vine&#8217; from FatCatKnits.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know what it is, but I haven&#8217;t been happy with anything I&#8217;ve been trying to knit lately. So I&#8217;m doin&#8217; other stuff &#8230; Remember this fiber? This is from the Hello Yarn Fibre Club &#8211; Toxic &#8211; I think it was the November selection. Well, it had a bit of an identity crisis so it ended up being this: My first singles yarn! and this: which was plied with my new spindle: Isn&#8217;t it purty?

		<description><![CDATA[How did I do that? By spinning! Since the fiber was tucked neatly in thier plastic bags, I thought maybe I would try spinning some singles that had been sitting round. This is what I got done – superwash merino wool, hand painted by Dave Daniels, Navajo plied. The spinning was a success. What I forgot to do was wash my hands. So when, for whatever reason, I put my hand to my eye, thus began the itching and so<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=338">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; for wool allergies. With my hayfever in full swing, I&#8217;ve had to put my spinning fiber away in it&#8217;s plastic bags until mid-July. But before I did, I was spinning a lovely merino/tencel blend. I&#8217;m so in love with this fiber. It drafts like buttah and is REALLY REALLY soft. I love how it shimmers. I can&#8217;t wait until I can spin more and eventually ply it &#8217;cause I think it&#8217;s gonna be so pretty. I wonder how much<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=331">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally started spinning one of the fibers I got from the Hello Yarn Fiber Club. This is the November 2007 fiber &#8211; Superwash Corriedale Wool Top. It&#8217;s called &#8216;Toxic&#8217;. It has a longer staple than merino, which took some getting used to. I&#8217;ve read that Merino is harder for beginner&#8217;s to spin because of it&#8217;s short staple, but I never had issues with Merino. I think this fiber is more of a challenge. I started out with a goal<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=321">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Normally I dislike sharing yearly goals, but for some reason, this year is different. First, I learned last year that joining project specific knit-a-longs is not for me. Invariably, as soon as I join, I no long want to make the item. So, I&#8217;ve decided to participate in a year long gift-a-long, started by the wonderful Marce. The goal is avoid that last minute stress of gift knitting. Even if I have a goal of knitting one thing a month,<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=267">[Read more]</a>]]></description>
