Great post on silk spinning!

Here's a terrific post on spinning silk. She gives a quick overview of the types of prep commonly found, what to look for, and how-to's.

blub blub blub...and rantage

Let's see - I broke the printer network at the office. Our computer guru can't figure out what happened, so HE called HIS guru, who will be in tomorrow.

When *I* break something, I do it right! (And actually, I didn't do anything. I think the anti-virus software I updated yesterday did something; I was printing just fine, then I downloaded the new version, and the printer was gone.)

Got a measuring wheel (finally!) yesterday, and spent about 30 minutes tonight turning it into a yardage meter. It seems pretty accurate; I skeined off my novelty yarn that will be posted for sale soon; the meter read 97.2 yards, I calculated 95.1 (not counting the loose ends - I, err, umm, just started counting wraps on the top of the clock reel. Bad me!)

Also got my photo tent - Huzzah! I'll be setting it up this weekend and taking lots of pictures. Some will go on the sale page, the rest will just replace the (crappy) ones that are there now.

( Ranting ahoy. You've been warned! )

OK, *that's* out of my system. I'm working on a post on spinning and selling the output, but it's going to take some time for me to formulate things coherently. Meanwhile, I need to go spin! I've got some Emerald Green superwash Merino on tap, and it's calling.
