Totally off topic, but your bookcase 🌈 The organization by jacket color has a fantastic look 💖! I have too many and need to go alphabetical by genre. Can’t remember what I had for breakfast most days so I’d lose my mind looking stuff going ok, what color was that book again?

greycapknits.bsky.social•12 days ago

Hahaha! Thank you! Funnily enough, that's why I arranged them by color. I can't ever seem to remember the title or author ... but I always remember the cover! 😆

I love it. Everyone has a different path for what clicks their memory.
Now you say it, I’ll often only remember the cover art too. Maybe I’ll give this a try for my craft and art books next time I do a full shelf cleaning.

greycapknits.bsky.social•11 days ago

So true! 😄 I hope it works well for your next shelf cleaning!

i often ask to help me find a book by saying: it's the yellow cover/spine. so this makes sense.

greycapknits.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes!! It's so handy! 😄

Tell me about this beautiful sweater in front of the bookcase!

greycapknits.bsky.social•11 days ago

It's called the Basketweave Bolero, and it's a pattern I just designed for Hobbii yarn! As soon as it goes live on their site, I'll be sure to let you know! 😄

Where I’m sitting most days. It’s showing no more than a tiny sliver of the truly tons of yarn/fiber I have. I’m not exaggerating.

Is your spinning wheel made from PVC? I tried one at a fiber festival last summer and I’m a bit smitten.

lynniemae.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes! It’s the Fiber Starter Wheel from Babe’s Fiber Garden. It’s more than twice as expensive as it was when I bought it in 2003, and it’s still cheap. https://babesfibergarden.com/collections/spinning-wheels-1/products/trillum-single-treadle-white

ponderingpurl.bsky.social•11 days ago

I have noticed that they are much more affordable than traditional wooden wheels and some e-spinners.

lynniemae.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh hell yeah. 20+ yrs ago I was a new spinner. Ashfords were $300 for a very basic wheel, and I didn’t have $300. The Babe was $140 then, complete with accessories. Sold! It’s still my fave wheel. I got the single treadle.

As for e-spinners, I also have the EEW Nano, both v1 & 2. SUPER affordable, tons of accessories, fun to goof around with, not the greatest spinners in the world but good enough. Cheap spinner, that’s me… 😆

That looks like the perfect cozy spot! 😄 By the way, that color is super pretty!

lynniemae.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you, they are! They are two nameless balls—the first two—and a skein of Madelinetosh Twist Light in colorway Coal Seam.

greycapknits.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ooo! I love Madelinetosh. I'll have to get some!

lynniemae.bsky.social•11 days ago

Just finished the shawl. Get you some, it will make you happy. 😁

bergere.bsky.social•11 days ago

Its looking very good!

lynniemae.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thanks!

Current project. More behind me. Why have just one?

greycapknits.bsky.social•12 days ago

Agreed! Multiple are always necessary! 😂

anontarioian.bsky.social•12 days ago

What is not in the photo is the stash of sewing supplies and machines, the weaving loom or the spinning wheel.

greycapknits.bsky.social•12 days ago

I believe it! I have a few sewing machines and a squeaky antique yarn weasel tucked away with the rest of my craft stash. We crafters would get buried alive if we had all of our hoards out in the open! 😂
