random/leftover/extra handspun yarn
Every once in a while I pull all the random little blobs of handspun yarn out of my sugar bowl, cookie jar, junk drawer, and all of the other secret forgotten places I hide it throughout the house:
I don’t throw it away, because I made it all and even though I can objectively admit that a lot of it is pretty fugly, It’s mine and I love it. But what on earth will I ever *do* with it? I’ve previously entertained notions of getting into freeform crochet, but lately I’ve been thinking of trying out a Rigid Heddle Loom. Because, you know, what I *really* need in my life is yet another fiber hobby.
There is no logic in obsession.
In other news, the Tuesday Morning Knitters were in the local paper!
I know, I know. Curiously enough, I have never eaten a Puffin.

Rigid heddle looms are too much fun! When I browsed onto your site and saw this pile of handspun, my first thought was “gee, she could really weave something spectacular with that stash!”

Want to sell that pile? Put a price on it. I have projects that spruce up nice with a wide variety of odds and ends yarn.
