the Wool issue 1 / 2009

The wool sheep us is ahead already to the new year (1 / 2009 "!) And asks exactly the right time:

I would be even interested in what people strick- and have made handmade technical capability for the new year - and if at all!

Many thanks to Birgit for today's question!

-------------------------------

Oh là là, even if I just lie fully on the Mopsschnauze, I would have to answer this question! Because no new year without any new projects!

First, thousands of great yarns to spin. Okay, maybe only 243, but in any case, a giant pile. Since I started the first grade Spinnradspinnen, I am not yet differentiated to the point that I could say: 5 ThickandThins, 14 in green yellow gold ... yes but does nothing. Let us surprise you!

Second things ready! And not "destroy" within the meaning of! No, finished in the sense of skills. Financial Statements,! Even now, for my Christmas vacation I've made up my mind, sew a sweater, which should actually experience a year ago already.

Third, get rid of wool and sort out! A very big point. Finally, I can not grow forever shelves, so an apartment is known to have only limited space.

Fourth: Finally, buy a photo light, so I can make new photos of my things, so I turn the set on Dawanda and therefore ultimately place can win. (For such a long and complex chains of thoughts Wollmops is almost skidded ...)

Fifth knit this year in time for spring and summer. Not when both are already there and the people have for fall and want to buy winter.

Sixth, no matter how safe a lot of special knitting ideas, but, folks, but I'm now so very grad no head, you know, how can purr loud a spinning wheel, and that noise is just madly distracting ... uh, I just wanted to say?

Stores That Sell Orerpitic Shoes

manic time again ...

Now just do not panic! Just keep calm and always one by one!

Yes, easy to say. But what do you do when you have so many ideas in mind, that you act upon no longer writing down? Clear: write down anyway as soon as possible and later as a supply , Create if missing time again with all the ideas you and your wool hanging jaw anstierst shelf.
However, yesterday I got kind of a ... tight feeling in my head got, as if there in the pyramid scheme which reproduce and everything would always be full. (Who reads Harry Potter think just to the treasury of Lestranges where to touch everything umpteen times more. Phew!)

receive one or the other suspect this is not a bad sort of hidden boast. Sometimes I have many ideas, sometimes just nothing. Do I know everything. But sometimes, like yesterday, it gets me really a bit scary. I looked in the evening a Swedish thriller, and there suddenly broke with me all Dams. I wish I had consoled myself with the fact that I was probably in Swedish 'NEM previous life, but unfortunately I do not turn. Pitch, in the case.
meets Fortunately, soon, at least one a larger color box with 72 pins with me, so I am still able to record everything accurately. Already it gets in my first book of ideas is just beginning with the place, the next sketch book ready.

Yes, it is ready. Just follow that after manic episodes such as these usually hanging with the pine. Well, let's see, now I'm going to approach very carefully for the first time my idea book and see what I have because everything is falling for yarns. And what I will tackle them first.

Oh moment, as I remember it, now going for a walk there was this hedge with efeuartigem growth, hovered over the dried buds ... Could we not somehow translate into a yarn or a knitting factory ...? Ode to Joy - off you go again!

Gargh Yarn

And today we report live from the workshop of a potential hit Wollmops innovation in yarn sections that will soon shake the world: Gargh Yarn !
order for you to enjoy The unique manufacturing formula (freeware) are, here is a guide to do it.

Take pink tops and spun it into a relatively uniform thread. Tip: Leave miteinfließen occasionally lilac tops to enhance the effect!
Then try twisting your pink with a white thread ThickThinYarn. The effect is to force their knees: you have your first Gargh spun Yarn ! A white-pink monstrosity that drives you and all your friends at once the tears in his eyes. And after just one-second look!

Traveller and the first yarn

O people, rejoice today, the Wollmops again! Look, my first real yarn!

These pictures show my first twist on my Traveller, consisting of two yarns I spun in the spring on the hand spindle and then on my first dyeing weekend had dyed in early summer.
And below you see my pride and joy (although I'll smile about it in 5 years): my first Artyarn! From the above was on a ball of yarn or what's left, I've ado, my first DickDünnGarn twisted by the Traveller (and I tried to orient it in "Intertwined") - and that was not at all easy! Still, I've got it somehow and I will probably make a headband out of it. Should just go out like this, namely only 37 grams fluffy But I do not think bad, that was the first time a trial balloon.

One thing is if I did not have work, I'd smooth spinning all day. But not for long, then that is so, in my Christmas holiday.

No more waiting!

No more waiting, because it is there: my Ashford Traveller.
And it is not only there. It is already waxed assembled and is of course eagerly wound & polished. And it is, as might be expected, wonderful!

The double impact of foot I feel like I had never wanted a single step, and a degree of uniformity has also already been set when pedaling. I tried on a uniform thin thread, tried a DickDünnGarn in white and sitting now on a random thread from one of my Kammzugfärbungen. For hours I could just sit and hinpedalen softly before me while my eyes follow the fascinating process that ensures that a thread is made of fibers.

And now I must stop writing and go even what spin ...

Shoelaces Where To Buy Canada

the Wool issue 50/2008

And today is interested in the wool sheep for:

A question for those who have knit before the age of the Internet: In the past, knitting something in the family or Friends. Through the Internet, there were new possibilities. What options are used and how it has changed your behavior by knitting?

Many thanks to

Susan for today's question!

---------------------------------

The Wollmops has the memory synapses tapped and said: The first thing I notice
since the shops. I love to order online wool, which I would otherwise get nowhere. Or tops that I would otherwise have difficulty and Flickerl for Flickerl at Art & game Märchenwolle piece together. Of some wool I have also experienced only through the Internet, they are there: Rowan, Bliss, Noro, from the really unusual to say nothing.

What is even more important to me: the cross-regional knitting and spinning community. I used that is not my few knitted items made with friends - I had very very few friends - But alone in private. Although I now know many people that I like and like me, I'm still like to be alone ... but now have the opportunity to share with me the world over the ropes. Completely unknown by me to learn the most beautiful things, to compliment them on their wonderful ideas and products and to feel lifted. On the one hand, and yet for me to be connected.
The things that I make myself be seen thanks to the Internet course, many more people than before. We just bloggers benefit from the mutual stroking the most pleasant.

Dawanda is also part of the Internet and has my knitting behavior exactly as the Wollmops Blog affected: I can finally draw a bunch of small pieces of knitting, and never get bored because I all want to share what I, at some point in friendly hands and get rid of can design and knit ever further. Personally, I could wear it all that is never, and no matter how many friends I have, not everyone wants to get paid every year by a cap or cuff.

Yes, the Wollmops loves the Internet and its possibilities. So from me thank you for this intelligent question!

needle breakage

As I sit at the kitchen table, in conversation with Alfonso deepened, he makes me aware of something outside the window, I watch out of curiosity, will move to the next needle in the needle game and ... break! From the bamboo stick. Against the table cracked and split cleanly into two halves.

Fortunately, one is as well equipped and Wollmops to (almost) prepared all perils. A small search party unearthed new three-point-five in metal, so that the new sleeves for the great-aunt are still ready in time for Christmas.
When you pick up the cuffs "twin" to my aunt last weekend, the waves of enthusiasm turned up in the family round, and my great aunt said once an accurate Christmas wish from.

Wanted - knitted, as can the Wollmops rags, of course. This time I take the somewhat thinner silk Tusshena in super soft pink and baby pink elected. For my great aunt would have dignified the noble arm protectors for reading in bed, where are the night shirt sleeves are a bit too short. And I imagine just that, first of mohair, for an even higher sensitivity ensures cuddly and second, the somewhat thinner structure more suitable, as is more flexible and more conformable than the thicker silk yarn.

Well, let's see if Great Aunt Hildchen feels it that way. We're now busy knitting ...

twin interlude

What does the Wollmops while he waits for his spinning wheel? Knitting of course. These cuffs "twin" of pure thick mulberry silk (subscribe Wolland ) in silvery cream and a sort of dark Wasserton are for my aunt wanted allergic - the unauthorized person is reading this, fortunately, not daily.

I find it beautiful: the colors and the rich luster of the rich silk thread. For this, the simple model fits not bad - the left transition series in the middle is intent and reminds me a bit of beads.

Uh - but why at all "on his spinning wheel wait "? Well!
My friend Monica and I have finally decided. Join for a Tom, I'm looking for a traveler. Monika sharpened differently than I do not necessarily art yarn, so she could pick out the Tom. Would I have liked so well: the Tom Deluxe I personally like incredibly good. But since I lack the simple upgradeability. Too bad!
So I am doing now moved onto Traveller, where you can dock from Turbo to Jumbo known to all.

Ria of the FaseRia us last Thursday, the door has opened for a trial spin afternoon. Dear Ria, many thanks again - it was simply a force and totally sweet of you! So we sat
say between Flauschehund and whirlwind hangover for the first time on a double kick - and found that we get along so much better than expected! Until that moment I had quite fixed onto Traveller, even quarreled so that it is the only available as a Doppler. Since I have facilitated the hours at Ria really extreme. Double kick is fun! On a traditional-style spinning wheel, however, I was not so lucky - somehow my body was not there ranpassen really. Also, the Louet and his powerful swing that one part impressive and soft, too slow on the other hand so hard (not for designer yarn so cheap) was not quite my thing.

So I pray now that the supply from New Zealand arrives in time for Traub. Because of the spinning wheel Wollmops desperately needs for his Christmas holiday - after a difficult year, the total relaxation.
Monika said: Well, were you from it, probably brings up the spinning learning only then to 180 times
Maybe. But rather with spinning wheel at 180, without zero. Finding Your Wollmops.

Conversely Ask the Wool 49/2008

today sent the following question wool sheep of:

Hi wool sheep,
I'd be interested what the was demanding that someone has been knitted. Whether it's socks, a dish liquid or a multicolored Fair Isle sweater or something else entirely.
Many thanks to Thomas for today's question!

---------------------------

The Wollmops has considered and barking about this:
fall equal to the first thing I Gauntlets one, which I - oops - I just blogged a year ago today, with a zig-times crossed cable pattern on the top. So many knitted cables I had experienced up to that little. Said ... I still think the same cap, my first Zopfwerk at all (by the way, Kirsten, as in my comment on your comment written, please get in touch if you want the manual, I have no contact from you). That was REALLY complicated. And with errors in the instructions. I can still see today with a pinched face, bent double with the effort of the needles sit in the window of Schloss Arnsberg, where I was just with Monika, and hear me say: Wait, I must focus my time! What we both fell silent in awe in the face of the complicated entanglements cap.

make a different kind of claim the stuff is from my own designs, if I do so and often unravel again and new tackle. Since then, patience is called for holding. And that, I've more or less.

My Fair Isle attempts ... Oh well. Who made such claims and are therefore landed again full tilt into the corner that I never progressed far enough to count here now can.

As I stand before so a few challenges. Well done, place the Wollmops.

question: What is gehandarbeitet of knitters to?

Yes, yes, the verb form is true: gehandarbeitet. As an editor I have my online Duden always ready for every case, looked again. And gehandarbeitet is actually the perfect hand work from - and is by Duden of fine handmade distinguished.

is the least of course for our products out into the same thing. We work hand to hand made at the end Gehandarbeitetes have in their hands.
The question was - made long ago and of 52 people answered - what exactly holding our hands out of knitting in breathing.

Well, first of all that's for sewing. Whole, 63 percent profess to do so. It is closely followed by Crochet (50 percent). Already some 20 percent's are still in the felting, and - really, folks - only 34 percent for the spiders. With both I had expected much more, it comes me sometimes seems as would be felt every other knitter or spin. Or both.
embroiderers are in any case only 28 percent of us - slightly exceeded by the 30 percent who like to dye wool. Toll
I found that besides weaving (7 percent) viewed at least as many "Occhi / mallets. With the idea to the lace I've ever played as a young girl again. Just as with the to the carpet weaving. But for the latter decided on this poll absolutely no one. Too bad. About 5 percent are happy to her stuffed animals.

The Wollmops, apart from knitting a decided spinner. Although at the moment to be honest something is broke. For sheer attempt to decide for myself a spinning wheel, I stir not in the hand spindle. For much I long for my first real spinning wheel - and leads this week's Munich to a spinner to try. Along the way with my friend Monika, who has sent the survey selected at least felt safe and spiders.
Also I had already designed veeery great Filzdesigns. Until I tried it's the first time - and I'm just bored. Embarrassing, embarrassing. Since I had been so looking on it, and then I turn out to me as Filznulpe. Well, you can not have it all. Or like. Or do. After all, I dye wool terribly happy, drop and a crochet hook or the sewing machine. It must then also meet again.

the Wool issue 47/2008

The wool sheep 's will once again know:

Everyone has their likes and dislikes with the material. As for yarns like or can not you knit at all, it was of the composition, thickness or the structure come from?

Why?

Many thanks to Kerstin for today's question!

----------------------------

The Wollmops has pondered its wool supplies and says
Even though I too dark I remember that as a similar question was asked before, but I find it always fascinating.

is for me only in exceptional cases or not: Full synthetic. One or the other Puschelkuschel I probably still flying around in the stash, but overall I am focusing lately on knotless natural materials. Not for moral reasons, but primarily because of my things for Dawanda. Since I had decided right at the beginning, only silk, merino, alpaca, and whatever else grows up and beasts to use, to position my things clearly. (Um, sorry, little slip-up in the promotional speech.) Also, I am terribly sensitive to static electricity. In addition to outlets I sleep great, but even a little power on my skin totally shocks me every time. And that can happen to the handling of synthetics simply easier than wool or silk.

Also, I always find that the latter and relatives often feel just wonderful. If I slide this soft yarn by hand, is as tender for the paw ...

What I caught up to sometimes pretty horrible took place, was such a pretty tricky composite ribbon yarn that contracted in Würgestrick the needles so that every movement a torment was. May have been also on the needles, I've given up anyway.

Otherwise, I allow myself to wick yarns as well as a welcome to twisted on juggernaut as well as to tender Geflicker, at the industry as to self-cast. You know, try the Wollmops always like that out!
