Taking orders



I have recently stocked up on some great yarns and am excited to get busy creating.  I'm now taking orders for holiday gifts (for yourself or someone you love.)  If you're interested in something, just email me!

You spin me right round baby, right round, like a record baby, right round round round


Whew, that was nuts!  When I get started with these titles, I sometimes cannot stop!
 
Okay, so, actually, no one is spinning any records, BUT I'll be spinning something.  Oh yeah, baby, that's right, I'll be spinning yarn!
 
I had a lovely, all too brief visit with David yesterday.  While discussing new and exciting ideas for working with Ozark Handspun, he asked me if I was ready to move on to the next step.  Frankly, my butt tightened up at that.  When David asks if you're ready to move on to something else, you just never ever know what in the world he's going to suggest.  It's like Christmas every single day with him!  Anyway, he brought out a Louet wheel (can be seen in these pictures) and asked if I had room for it in my van.  Well, let me just tell you, I nearly ruined my pants in excitement!  I'm a fiber addict - imagine my excitement and bliss at the prospect of learning to spin wool and mohair into yarn!  AMAZING.
 
So, I'll be spending a few hours with him in the coming weeks to learn how to do it.  Seriously, folks, this is just so thrilling.  And believe you me, my excitement will come out in Kohleidoscope's offerings.  Get ready folks, my obsession has taken a new spin, er um, turn!

You Never Know


This hat was a lesson in "wait and see." I wasn't crazy about the yarns that I had decided to use, but figured that since everyone has different tastes, someone might just like it and buy it. Well, after it felted, I was amazed at how neat it turned out. Just goes to show you, you just never know.
