Wybaczcie stan ogródka, wypieliłam grządki w ubiegły weekend, ale szare ściany obrośnięte będą zielenią niestety dopiero za kilka miesięcy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Kombinuję jeszcze z zapięciem do Sylvi (w tej chwili używam sporej metalowej klamry) i czekam na guziczki, które właśnie zamówiłam u koleżanki. Poza tym, Sylvi jest gotowa. Nosiłam ją ze dwa razy i dalej wydaje mi się, że jest za krótka ;/&amp;nbsp; w związku z czym nie wykluczam dorobienia do niej "przedłużki". Wełny nie zostało mi zbyt wiele, ale powinno wystarczyć choć na kilka centymetrów, jeśli okaże się że jednak nie jestem w stanie przekonać się do jej obecnej długości.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/6742051521/" title="Sylvi001 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sylvi001" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7029/6742051521_0f7bb0ce67.jpg" width="376" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Zaokrąglony kaptur prezentuje sie tak:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/6742051947/" title="Sylvi002 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sylvi002" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7146/6742051947_5bbf23f9fd.jpg" width="345" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/6742052255/" title="Sylvi003 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sylvi003" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7003/6742052255_4178f883ce.jpg" width="345" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Zapięcie:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/6742052837/" title="Sylvi004 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sylvi004" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7011/6742052837_e78b97882a.jpg" width="394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I duży kwiat dodany z przodu:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/6742053105/" title="Sylvi005 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sylvi005" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6742053105_2446cf3f49.jpg" width="345" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;W międzyczasie zabrałam się za zwyciężczynię plebiscytu na następny projekt: Olvie. Dzierga się powoli ze względu na ogromna ilość oczek na drucie (ponad 400) ale robota idzie gładko. Jeszcze jakieś 5 cm i będę dzielić rękawy. Najlepsze w tym całym wdzianku jest to, że nic nie trzeba zszywać, bo tego robić nie cierpię.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/6742183673/" title="Olive blouse - yoke detail by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Olive blouse - yoke detail" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7021/6742183673_8b5d926c87.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/6742187541/" title="Olive blouse - begins by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Olive blouse - begins" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7009/6742187541_63b8b12724.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Miłego weekendu!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-5268367043574172874?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/5268367043574172874/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=5268367043574172874&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/5268367043574172874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/5268367043574172874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2012/01/sylvi_22.html' title='Sylvi'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-3207862781945876620</id><published>2012-01-11T17:29:00.000Z</published><updated>2012-01-11T17:29:45.837Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting fiasco'/><title type='text'>Na oko...</title><content type='html'>...to baba w szpitalu umarła.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sylvi wyszła za krótka o jakieś 10-15cm ;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zszyłam wczoraj boki i rękawy, przymierzyłam (już nie "na oko" ale na grzbiet) i dupa Jasiu... za krótka.... ledwo zakrywa mi cztery litery, a miała być do połowy uda ;/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ale:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Może się naciągnie&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Może dorobię od dołu pas ściegiem ryżowym&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Może ją komuś sprezentuję&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A może po prostu muszę się przekonać do takiej długości...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jedno jest pewne, pruć nie będę!

Obowiazki te same, troche wiecej 'wladzy' i zdecydowanie wiecej pieniedzy. &lt;i&gt;Life is grand&lt;/i&gt;, jak to mawiaja moi znajomi Irlandczycy ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Z frontu robotkowego – skonczylam Sylvi!!! No dobra…skonczylam na 99,9%. Zostalo mi zszycie bokow, rekawow, i przyszycie platkow kwiatow. Na razie Sylvi zostala wyprana i sie suszy. &lt;br /&gt;Mam nadzieje, ze bedzie na mnie pasowac, bo siedzialam nad nia bity tydzien i troche musialam nakombinowac ze wzorem zeby pasowal do mojej niestandardowej wloczki. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ale po kolei:&lt;br /&gt;Z opisow na Ravelry wiedzialam ze nawet z oryginalna wloczka beda problemy z uzyskaniem odpowiedniej ilosci rzedow w probce. Ja na dodatek wzielam do robotki zupelnie inna welne (Kilcarra Aran Tweed), ktora dala mi znacznie mniejsza probke. Zazwyczaj uzycie cienszej/grubszej welny to nie koniec swiata, wystarczy dziergac wedlug opisu na wiekszy/mniejszy rozmiar. Tym razem sprawa sie skomplikowala ze wzgledu na dosc zagmatwany warkocz na plecach. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zaczelam wiec od najprostszego. Od rekawow. Robi sie je na okraglo, az do pachy, gdzie zaczyna sie raglan. Szlo wiec szybko, dwa dni, dwa rekawy. Przymierzylam na oko i stwierdzilam, ze nawet jesli sie rozciagna troche po praniu to nic, bo lubie takie przydlugawe.&lt;br /&gt;Potem zrobilam przednia lewa czesc. Nabralam oczek na rozmiar L (chcac uzyskac cos pomiedzy S a M). Do monotonnego oczka ryzowego (moss stitch) wrobilam 3 bable, wokol ktorych przyszyte bedzie 5 platkow tworzacych kwiat. Przedluzylam calosc o 16 rzedow [przerabiajac 126 (jak w rozmiarze S) a nie 110 rzedow (jak w rozmiarze L)], zamknelam 4 oczka pod pacha i robilam raglan az na drucie zostalo mi 19 oczek. A poniewaz scieg ryzowy lubi sie rozciagac, wypralam skonczony kawalek zeby zobaczyc o ile ‘urosnie’. Chcialam zeby moja Sylvi siegala mi do plowy uda, a nie do kolana, czy kostek i tak jak nigdy nie robie porzadnych probek, to tym razem mozna powiedziec ze machnelam probke w skali 1:1. I bardzo dobrze, bo sie okazalo ze przod wydluzyl mi sie o dobre 6cm i poszerzyl o jakies 2-3cm. Na szczescie przymierzylam na oko i stwierdzilam, ze bedzie wystrczajaco dlugi. Czy za szeroki? Nie wiem… ale Sylvi z zalozenia ma byc dosc luzna, wiec sie za bardzo nie martwie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x0GPC24I9e4/TwskCH61sfI/AAAAAAAAB6c/YLCc_cisrkw/s1600/P1060003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="296" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x0GPC24I9e4/TwskCH61sfI/AAAAAAAAB6c/YLCc_cisrkw/s400/P1060003.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zrobilam druga polowe przodu i zabralam sie za tyl. Tutaj, podobnie jak z przodem, nabralam tyle oczek co dla rozmiaru L i przerabialam schemat jak leci, ignorujac oryginalne wciecie pachy przy rozmiarze L, sledzac raglan z rozmiaru S, po czym przedluzajac nieco ostatni warkocz (powtarzalam ostatnie 2 rzedy dodatkowe 4 razy) az na drutach zostalo mi 26 oczek. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Polaczylam tyl z rekawami i z przodem, i na 76 oczkach zaczelam robic kaptur. Przedluzylam go o jakies 6 rzedow na samej gorze (wydluzajac ‘lodyge’ ostatniego kwiatka) a na koniec zrobilam kilka rzedow skroconych zeby lekko zaokraglic gore. Nie badzo podobal mi sie taki szpiczasty, jak w oryginalnym wzorze i przez chwile sie zastanawialam czy nie zrobic gory calkowicie rzedami skroconymi, tak jak wrabia sie piete w skarpetkach. Ostatecznie stwierdzilam jednak, ze wystaczy mi kilka dodatkowych rzedow na obu stronach kaptura zeby wyelimonowac nieszczesny dziubek. Zamknelam kaptur metoda &lt;i&gt;3 needle bind off&lt;/i&gt;, ktora bardzo lubie przy zamykaniu skarpetek, wypralam calosc i teraz czekam cierpliwie az wyschnie, zebym mogla ja porzadnie pozszywac i obfocic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welna z Kilcarra ladnie pecznieje przy praniu, robi sie miekka i mechata (zakupiona pokryta jest warstwa lanoliny, albo podobnego tluszczu uzywanego przy przedzeniu nitek). Musze tylko pamietac zeby nie prac Sylvi w pralce, bo mi sie sfilcuje.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k_3xDu4tGgI/TwskNW1BG0I/AAAAAAAAB6k/cjYXH26uY0c/s1600/P1060007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k_3xDu4tGgI/TwskNW1BG0I/AAAAAAAAB6k/cjYXH26uY0c/s400/P1060007.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teraz zastanawiam sie tylko, czy jesliby Sylvi wyszla troche zbyt obszerna, nie podszyc jej jakims cienkim polarkiem, zeby mozna ja bylo nosic jako plaszczyk.

To najdłuższa przerwa w blogowaniu jaką pozwoliłam sobie wziąć, na dodatek&amp;nbsp; zupełnie nieplanowana. Dziękuję za wszystkie mejle, które dostałam w międzyczasie. Przepraszam, jeśli na jakiś nie odpisałam. Życie się o mnie upomniało. Nie dotknęła mnie ani żadna tragedia ani jakieś wielkie szczęście, po prostu wróciłam do pełnoetatowej pracy ciągnąc przy tym swój wełniany mini-biznes. Moja głowa była gdzie indziej. I czas wolny stał się nagle gatunkiem zagrożonym wyginięciem. Na dodatek okres przedświąteczny bogaty był w kiermasze i jarmarki, warsztaty i takie tam. Na blog, facebook i twitter w dwóch językach nie miałam już ani siły ani weny twórczej.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Przyznaję się bez bicia, że prawie nic nie dziergałam ;/ Dokończyłam (z bólem) chustkę, którą zaczęłam jakiś rok temu, ale żaden nowy projekcik nie zainteresował mnie na tyle, żebym się za niego zabrała. Druty leżały odłogiem. Za to kołowrotek furkotał radośnie, zwłaszcza jesienią. Zaprzyjaźniona pasmanteria pochłaniała każdą ilość moich włóczek, kręciłam więc sporo, bo wełenki rozchodziły się jak ciepłe bułeczki. Było tez trochę filcowania, ale o tym jeszcze wam kiedyś opowiem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Z nowym rokiem zmieniam, a raczej uporządkowuję swoją obecność w sieci. Postanowiłam utrzymać bloga, choć przez chwilę korciło mnie żeby całkiem go zamknąć. Ale nie. Blog będzie. Z google analytics widzę, że najczęściej odwiedzają go ludziska z Polski. Będzie więc po polsku. Tylko i wyłącznie. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Za to Facebook i Twitter będą po angielsku bo tam zazwyczaj wrzucam krótkie apdejty, zdanie lub dwa, czasem jakąś fotkę. Może się więc zdarzyć, że od czasu do czasu odeślę was do zdjęć lub linków na FB albo odwrotnie.&amp;nbsp; Zobaczymy jak to wszystko wyjdzie w praniu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: center;"&gt;Dziś chcę życzyć wam udanego 2012 roku, &lt;span id="intertext1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span id="intertext1"&gt;radości z tego co jest, nadziei na to co przed wami,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span id="intertext1"&gt;uśmiechu i pogody ducha na każdy nowy nadchodzący dzień.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Dziękuję że jesteście i zapraszam ponownie!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-7705108549981256352?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/7705108549981256352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=7705108549981256352&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/7705108549981256352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/7705108549981256352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2012/01/szczesliwego-nowego-roku-plus-blogowe.html' title='Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku plus blogowe przemyślenia'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3N49OollpMs/TwLcAycwPNI/AAAAAAAAB5U/u4mYgXnv_0o/s72-c/2012-happy-new-year-1024x768.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-8739576652394976152</id><published>2011-07-11T11:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-07-11T11:28:14.224+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spinning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yarn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='techniques'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Connemara latem</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dziś ostatnia włoczka z cyklu przed-tur de fransowych. I kolejna ciekawa technika. Tym razem &lt;b&gt;AUTOWRAPPING&lt;/b&gt; (czyli, w luźnym tłumaczeniu: "&lt;b&gt;swobodne owijanie&lt;/b&gt;"). Metoda polega na przędzeniu dowolnego singla (ja użyłam ręcznie wyczesaną wełnę o mieszanym składzie i kolorze) i oplataniu go kolorową nicią. &lt;br /&gt;Przędzenie zaczynamy od podłączenia nici do wełny, co robimy dokładnie tak jak przy corespinning (zajrzyjcie do video z poprzedniego postu). Po około 15-20cm puszczamy nitkę z rąk, koncentrujac się na przędzeniu singla i pozwalając nici swobodnie oplatać się wokół niego. Przy szybkim pedałowaniu nitka oplatajaca singiel nawijać się będzie w dość sporych odstępach. Przy wolniejszym pedałowaniu, oplatanie będzie częstsze i bardziej nieprzewidywalne. Zachęcam do poeksprymentowania z różnymi typami nici. W tej technice można stosować dowolne nitki, delikatne lureksy, mocne bawełny, włochate, gładkie, matowe, z połyskiem, jednokolorowe i wielobarwne. Do wyboru, do koloru.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today I'm going to show you the last of the pre-TdF handspuns. And another technique - &lt;b&gt;Autowrapping&lt;/b&gt;. Again, a simple method which results in an interesting yarn. It starts with a single (any thickness) which you need to join with a thread you want to wrap around it. To see how to best join the thread with your wool go see the video in the previous post. After about 5-8 inches you can let go completely of the thread and focus on spinning your singles. Thread will wrap around your single randomly. The slower you treadle, the more the thread will wrap around your yarn. For this technique you can use any type of thread. It does not matter how strong it is, as the strength of the yarn depends on your single, not the thread itself. So experiment with different textures, materials and colours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Below is my thread plied and (partially) autowrapped yarn inspired by a &lt;a href="http://www.stockpodium.com/en/image-photo-7825670/summer-Connemara-CoGalway-Ireland-with-wild-flowers-grass-and/"&gt;Summer in Connemara photo&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jak powstaje falista włóczka?&lt;/b&gt; Technika z angielska zwana jest &lt;b&gt;THREAD PLYING&lt;/b&gt; (czyli splatanie z nicią). Jest prosta i daje ciekawe efekty. &lt;br /&gt;Falistą włóczkę robię w 2 etapach. Najpierw przygotowuję nieco przekręconego singla. Specjalnie daje mu za dużo skrętu, bo dzięki temu ładniej się oplata wokół nici w kolejnym etapie przędzenia. Sam singiel może być jednakowej grubości lub cienko-gruby (te daja najbardziej dramatyczny efekt).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gotowego sinlgla skręcam z mocną nicią bawełnianą albo jedwabną. Ważne, żeby wybrana przez nas nić była cienka i mocna, gdyż wytrzymałość całej włóczki zależy właśnie od wytrzymałości nici. Nie zalecam szpulek z nićmi do szycia bo łatwo się rwą. Można wybrać nitkę o kolorze zbliżonym do kolorów singla, można zaszaleć i wybrać kolor kontrastujący.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cała sztuka polega na tym żeby mocno trzymać nitkę w jednej ręce jednocześnie pozwalając singlowi delikatnie (bez stawiania dodatkowego oporu) oplatać się wokół. Zachęcam do poekserymentowania z kątem, pod jakim trzymacie singla. 45 stopni da włóczke o delikatnych falach, kąt prosty da gęste prawie sprężynki. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Let's look at the second yarn spun during the pre-Tour de France warm-up. It's a corespun yarn made using a&amp;nbsp; carded batt. If you're not familiar with the spinning technique, check out the video below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dziś druga wełenka zrobiona w czasie tur de fransowej rozgrzewki. I kolejna ciekawa metoda przędzenia dajaca włóczki z charakterem. Witajcie w krainie &lt;b&gt;CORESPINNIG&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Metoda polega na oplataniu włókien wokół "rdzenia" (ang. core) z komercyjnej nici. Podobnie jak w przypadku falistych włóczek, tutaj tez należy zwrócić szczególną uwagę na to, any bić była mocna.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Najładniejsze włóczki skręcone metodą corespinning powstaja z &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonrover/4973537649/in/faves-8447160@N07/"&gt;batów &lt;/a&gt;(wełny wyczesanej na gręplarce bębnowej) zawierających mieszankę rożnych rodzajów włókien i kolorów. Im wiecej tekstury i ciekawych gadżetów, tym lepiej. Powstałe włóczki są singlami o dość charakterystycznych kolorowych poprzecznych pasach. Tradycyjne single, jeśli wykonane z wielokolorowej czesanki będą miały kolorowe pasy odpowiadające nadanemu nitce skrętowi. Im więcej nitkę skręcamy, tym większy kąt nachylenia względem osi nici. W przypadku corespinning powalamy włóknom owijać się wokół rdzenia pod kątem 60-90 stopni. Wiem, ze trudno to sobie wyobrazić, odsyłam was więc do obejrzenia tego filmu:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lEUASvzyO64" width="425"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Please note the way your thread is joined with wool (0:25min), how to hold your core (0:51min) and how to start spinning your wool around the core (1:46min). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nie trzeba rozumiec angielskiego, wystarczą dobre oczy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Zwróćcie uwage na to, jak przyłącza się rdzeń (25 sekunda filmu) jak trzymać rdzeń (51 sekunda) i jak zacząć nawijanie wełny na rdzeń (1min 46 sek). Im więcej w trakcie owijania pedałujecie, tym ciaśniejszą włóczke otrzymacie. Powolne pedałowanie pozwala na otrzymanie zwiewnych nitek z wyrazistą teksturą.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And here's my attempt:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oto moja próba:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5888671208/" title="P6300079 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="P6300079" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5888671208_6a3b4d061e.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5888671490/" title="P6300091 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="P6300091" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5231/5888671490_291cbf9440.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another great thing about the corespinning is that a little fibre goes a long way! Some great corespun yarns cane be found &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonlightbaker/3691519607/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonrover/4928718994/in/faves-8447160@N07/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rawfishdesigns/4778416126/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carrieo/4559955078/"&gt;and here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;I jeszcze jeden plus corespinning. Nawet z niewielkiej ilości czesanki da sie ukręcić sporo włóczki!

It will take some time for me to adjust not only to the single driveband but also Irish tension (bobbin led) but I can already see it's a beginning of a beautiful friendship. And perfect timing! We're at day 3 of the Tour de Fleece. Yes, it's that time of year again. I was putting the spinning off waiting for the new wheel, but now there will be no more excuses. Time to get the wheel spinning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I've got few yarns that I span on the old wheel (which BTW needs a name too!) as a part of Tour de Fleece warm up. I'll show them next time as they still have to be measured properly. But I hope you're ready for some crazy art yarns as I intent to spin A LOT of these on my new wheel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Take care!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-slMROLHlvw8/ThH3qGc3EzI/AAAAAAAAB5A/pFKW1Oislvc/s1600/P7040138.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-slMROLHlvw8/ThH3qGc3EzI/AAAAAAAAB5A/pFKW1Oislvc/s400/P7040138.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4nYTFLdXpk/ThH3rIhNF-I/AAAAAAAAB5E/tK-gNkORXig/s1600/P7040134.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4nYTFLdXpk/ThH3rIhNF-I/AAAAAAAAB5E/tK-gNkORXig/s400/P7040134.JPG" width="208" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przywiozłam dziś do domu nową zabawkę. Poznajcie Louet model S10 (trzeba ją ochrzcić...podrzućcie jakieś imiona do wyboru). Maszyna jest o 7 miesiecy starsza ode mnie ale świetnie się trzyma. Czytałam na forach, że im starsze modele, tym solidniejsze wykonanie i lepsza jakość. I musze się zgodzić. Po wytarciu z kurzu i przesmarowaniu śrub i łączeń, hula jak nowa. Troche czasu zajmie mi nauczenie się nowego systemu (bo to pojedynczy sznurek i prowadzenie przez szpulkę tz. irish tension) ale juz widzę że sie polubimy ;) I to w samą porę na Tour de Fleece! Tak, tak, zleciało. Początek lipca to pora kręcenia. Nałogowego. Do upadłego albo do konca wełnianych zapasów (co raczej mi nie grozi).&lt;br /&gt;W ramach rozgrzewki przed TdF ukręciłam na struszku (którego tez trzebaby jakoś nazwać żeby sie nie obraził) kilka włóczek. Pokażę następnym razem, bo ciągle jeszcze muszę je pomierzyć. Mam nadzieję, że jesteście przygotowani na włóczki artystyczne. Będzie ich tu do znudzenia. Ja i Louet bedziemy szaleć i łamać wszelkie reguły!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fZfszB6eyds/ThH3o7yYSvI/AAAAAAAAB48/be9Jn1TRUx4/s1600/P7040137.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It is unique                    among Polish sheep breeds, since it is extremely adaptable to                    difficult conditions, disease-resistant, and prolific. It is                    able to reproduce all year round. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wrzosówka is rather                    thin and small, proportionally built. The fleece is usually                    consists of two layers: down and medulated hair. Its skins are                    usued for fur coat production. Ewes are usually polled, while                    rams have widely set black horns. The Wrzosówka is the                    only surviving primitive sheep breed in Poland. A conservation                    program was started in 1981.&lt;br /&gt;Breed categories: primitive, rare, short-tailed, fur&lt;br /&gt;Distribution: Poland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Polish Mountain Sheep (Owca górska)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheep101.info/Images/Breeds/polishmtsheep.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.sheep101.info/Images/Breeds/polishmtsheep.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Evolved from the old Carpathian Cakiel,                    and especially one of its varieties - the primative Podhale                    sheep. The breed can be found in the whole Polish part of the                    Carpathian mountains; however, it is most frequently found in                    the Podhale region near the town of Nowy Sacz, where the breed                    traditionally originates. It has a light build, thin but strong                    legs and narrow rump. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Polish Mountain sheep are milked. The milk                    yield is 50 to 100 liters per lacation and 40 to 80 liters in                    a milking period of 150 days with a fat content of 7 to 8%.                    Meat production is rather poor. The wool is white and coarse,                    suitable for carpet manufacture. The thatch-like coat consists                    of loose locks, with a characteristic parting line along wthe                    back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bioroznorodnosc.izoo.krakow.pl/system/files?file=pomorska.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Breed category: carpet wool, dairy&lt;br /&gt;Distribution: Europe&lt;a href="http://www.sheep101.info/breedsO-P.html#PolishMt"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kamieniec (owca pomorska)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheep101.info/Images/Breeds/Kamieniec.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="260" src="http://www.sheep101.info/Images/Breeds/Kamieniec.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kamieniec are a Polish breed. They were created in the years 1954-1965                  in the Kamieniec farm of the Breeding Center in Susz, near Olsztyn.                  The starting point was a flock of primitive ewes of the Pomeranian                  type, from individual farms in the regions of Gdansk and Koszalin                  or brought from settlers from the East. They were initially crossed                  with Leine and Texel rams, and then mated to Romney Marsh rams.                  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After selection, the progeny was interbred in order to obtain                  genetic consolidation of the required traits and a more uniform                  type. Sheep of this strain have rather large, deep, and broad                  bodies. Their wool covering much of the body is uniform in quality,                  with long staples and high clean yield. This variety is also highly                  resistant to diseases, especially foot rot.&lt;br /&gt;Breed categories: dual-purpose, medium wool &lt;br /&gt;Distribution: Eastern Europe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Flax&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;All the above information was copied from &lt;a href="http://www.sheep101.info/index.html"&gt;this website&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;There's a short document about the sheep breeds and breeding in Poland &lt;a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/006/AD250E/ad250e0f.htm#TopOfPage"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and a whole book dedicated to it &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Breeds-Poland-Andrzej-Laudowicz-Chairman/dp/B000SONY56"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And look at the &lt;a href="http://www.dziech.pnet.pl/english.html"&gt;Polish Lowland Sheepdogs&lt;/a&gt;!

They're all made of white merino wool and decorated with black yarn and precut prefelt circles. I am not 100% happy with them (bit too many wrinkles for my liking), but it was a good first try. The one with a hole was a bit tricky, the shaping was a pain as I did not have anything that could be used as a mould (form) during the shaping process and I will have to do some research to see if there's anything available online or alternatively (and most likely) make the form myself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While the vessels were drying I made a bunch of felt flowers. Initially I wanted them to go in the vessels, but then I think I like the vessels better on their own. I will have to find a nice glass vase for the flowers, an empty wine bottle should do for now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ostatnimi czasy bawiłam się trochę w filcowanie wazoników. Chciałam poćwiczyć formy przestrzenne, zobaczyć ile wełny potrzebne jest na uzyskanie stabilnej i sztywnej bryły i w jaki sposów najlepiej je kształtować. Powstałe prototypy zrobione są z białego merynosa z dodatkiem czarnej nitki wełnianej i kółek wyciętych z przygotowanego prefeltu. Nie jestem do konca zadowolona, troche za duzo na nich zmarszczek. Nastepne bedą lepsze. Kształtowanie &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;tej z dziurką&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; było małym koszmarem, bo nie miałam formy która by pasowała d o środka. Będę musiała poszperać w sieci, może gdzieś znajdę takie nietypowe formy a jak nie (co jest wielce prawdopodobne) trzeba bedzie samemu sobie taką forme strzelić. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;W tak zwanym miedzyczasie, kiedy wazoniki sobie schly, powstały kwiatki na łodyżkach. Miały byc do kompletu, ale im dłuzej patrzę na wazoniki tym bardziej podobaja mi się bez "wkładek". Na kwiatki znajde jakis inny pojemnik. Szklanych wazoników chyba nie mam w domu, ale jakaś pusta butelka po winie powinna sie znaleźć, a jak nie, to trzeba bedzie opróżnić jakieś. Nie ma to jak mieć pretekst żeby sie napić ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What else? Oh yes. I've updated the workshop schedule for June/ July, found a &lt;a href="http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/p/etsy_19.html"&gt;new retail outlet&lt;/a&gt; that would sell my items (Yay me!), run a few workshops here, completed knitting the &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEw11/PATTfleece.php"&gt;Fleece &lt;/a&gt;(but have to take photos before I blog about it here) and there and been busy test knitting a new lace pattern. It will be a traditional lace with an Irish twist. I'm almost half way done with the knitting, so watch this space for photos and details.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Oki doki, I'm off to eat some and then have to leave the house for a short while (although to be perfectly honest with you, I'd be much happier staying indoors when it's dry and warm, ugh... the Irish summer ;/) I think there will be some knitting in the evening and maybe a glass (or 5) of wine. Need to work on the empty wine bottles for the flowers, right?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Keep warm folks!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Co poza tym? A, tak. Uaktualniłam liste warsztatów na czerwiec/lipiec, &lt;a href="http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/p/etsy_19.html"&gt;znalazłam nowy sklepik&lt;/a&gt; gdzie mozna od niedawna zakupic moje wyroby, poprowadziłam kilka kursów tu i tam, skończyłam dziergać &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEw11/PATTfleece.php"&gt;Fleece &lt;/a&gt;(ale nie mam jeszcze zdjęć więc szczegóły inną razą) i wreszcie pracuje sobie powoli nad nowym wzorem na szal(ik). Bedzie to tradycyjny ażur z irlandzkim akcentem. Chyba że nastąpi zmiana koncepcji, ale jak narazie mam zrobiona połowę i chyba zdania nie zmienię. Chyba...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;No dobra ludki moje kochane, zmykam cos na ruszt wrzucić a później niestety muszę na chwilę wybyc z domu (jakbyscie widzieli co się za oknem dzieje też byście nie skakali z radości). Wieczorkiem chyba zapodam sobie jakiegoś dobrego filma i wydziergam kilka dodatkowych ażurowych rządków popijając winkiem. Wkońcu trzeba popracowac nad tym wazonem na kwiaty ;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trzymajcie się cieplutko!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-3375530491171254250?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/3375530491171254250/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=3375530491171254250&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/3375530491171254250'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/3375530491171254250'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2011/05/flowers-in-vase.html' title='Flowers in the vase'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2KChWo2MgF0/TdfC3S1VGVI/AAAAAAAAB4k/bQe7IyiK1Kc/s72-c/vessels.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-8772621299724729772</id><published>2011-05-11T15:56:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-13T21:51:45.721+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ETSY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fondelifair'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shop locally'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='workshop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wet felting'/><title type='text'>Bloomin' cupcakes and workshops</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hi all! I finally sat down to write all the latest news before I get distracted for another several weeks. So here goes!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;The new range of flower brooches is now available in &lt;a href="http://www.pippablue.com/"&gt;Pippa Blue&lt;/a&gt;, Galway and &lt;a href="http://themoodgallery.blogspot.com/"&gt;The Mood Gallery&lt;/a&gt;, Castlebar.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I decided to display them on a cute cupcake stand which I bought for a reasonable price in a local shop. I think that now they are eye catching. Don't you?&amp;nbsp; I like them this way ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--zwRTzjycuA/Tcqlfyp_kwI/AAAAAAAAB34/A5dSrFzdRAU/s1600/P5110024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--zwRTzjycuA/Tcqlfyp_kwI/AAAAAAAAB34/A5dSrFzdRAU/s400/P5110024.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WC64x7DTtI0/TcqliHII3JI/AAAAAAAAB38/rStMATnDeiQ/s1600/P5110026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WC64x7DTtI0/TcqliHII3JI/AAAAAAAAB38/rStMATnDeiQ/s400/P5110026.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;b&gt;Recently &lt;a href="http://themoodgallery.blogspot.com/"&gt;The Mood Gallery&lt;/a&gt; in Castlebar held a two part felting workshop during which a group of six created the most beautiful &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/sets/72157626484875813/"&gt;felted landscapes (and one angel)&lt;/a&gt; learning the basics of wet and dry felting techniques. Well done everyone!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I loved seeing everyone's work in progress, each person had an unique approach and no two pictures looked alike. Most importantly, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves during the few afternoon hours we spent together and I have already had few inquires about further workshops. I am thrilled that this one turned out to be a success and will come back to The Mood Gallery to run few more workshops in the future. If you're interested in taking part, get in touch with me or Ella (themoodgallery [at] ireland [dot] com).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W_aLgaHbZeE/TcqoWbHEN3I/AAAAAAAAB4Q/O7pvzSCnmnc/s1600/Castlebar_Landscape_1_wet01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W_aLgaHbZeE/TcqoWbHEN3I/AAAAAAAAB4Q/O7pvzSCnmnc/s320/Castlebar_Landscape_1_wet01.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Part 1 - preparing the design for wet felting.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yzMS3I7HbOw/TcqoYgRCfPI/AAAAAAAAB4U/5hfKnC3Yhgk/s1600/c2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yzMS3I7HbOw/TcqoYgRCfPI/AAAAAAAAB4U/5hfKnC3Yhgk/s320/c2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Part 2 - Needle felting details and finished pieces.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;I had some leaflets distributed around Galway today, advertising the series of craft workshops I will be running, to the local community.

The site launches on the 30th of May so you still have few weeks to get this name memorised.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://fondelifair.com/about/"&gt;FondeliFair&lt;/a&gt; is a platform that combines a marketplace with a blog host and social community. Think ETSY/eBay/DoneDeal meets blogger/wordpress and facebook. Handy! It's all in one place, no need to leave the house at all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alice, the Mastermind behind &lt;a href="http://fondelifair.com/"&gt;Fondelifair &lt;/a&gt;writes: "People blog about   crafts, people sell their crafts online, people talk on forums about   their crafts. But there is no site that lets you do all of this in the   one place, this is why I developed Fondelifair". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Weather you're looking for unique items, designed and made in Ireland, or a place to blog about your craft and share your passion this is a site for you. You're sure to meet a bunch of people like minded people, exchange tips, talk about new ideas, techniques, materials, craft fairs, workshops etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I've set up a &lt;a href="http://knitspinfelt.craftblog.eu/"&gt;website there&lt;/a&gt;, part of which is a twin site to this blog. From now on, every time I post here, same message will be posted on my &lt;a href="http://knitspinfelt.craftblog.eu/"&gt;fondelifair blog&lt;/a&gt;. I am working on &lt;a href="http://knitspinfelt.craftblog.eu/store/products/"&gt;my shop&lt;/a&gt; design and slowly add new items to the inventory. I hope to have a nice "full" shop for the launch day but need few sunny days to take photos of my recent work and that might be simply too much to ask for. I fear that we've already HAD a Summer and now it's just rain, rain and... more rain. But maybe (and hopefully) I am wrong and there's a marvellous sunshine predicted for the emerald island in the near future. For now though, I have the bloomin' cupcakes to brighten my day:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SVi9ANxysvk/TcqlkMcqktI/AAAAAAAAB4A/XwYb1JIvQhg/s1600/P5110031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A ze Szczecina przyleciała próbka z wyczesanym futrem huskiego (albo malamuta?). Zobaczymy co się da z tego ukręcić.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Do usłyszenia wkrótce!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-7684748346908456045?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/7684748346908456045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=7684748346908456045&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/7684748346908456045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/7684748346908456045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2011/04/intruducing-new-felt-flower-line-for.html' title='Intruducing a new felt flower line for Summer/ Fall 2011!'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pew9be4T3no/TbahETuEQ1I/AAAAAAAAB30/cs1akoYQu4A/s72-c/razem.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-7729717771597551526</id><published>2011-04-15T20:53:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-15T20:53:33.527+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Wiosenne porządki część 1/  Spring cleaning part 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pozbywam się zalegajacych na półkach książek, głównie o robótkach na drutach, przędzeniu i filcowaniu.&amp;nbsp; Może komus przypadną do gustu.

It still needs a proper magnetic clasp abut I have been using it already and love it to bits! But let me tell you a bit about it. It came to life in a rural Ireland on a sunny (and then wet) day of March. I drove all the way to Co. Carlow to meet &lt;a href="http://clasheen.wordpress.com/"&gt;Nicola &lt;/a&gt;and 3 other ladies and spend a day designing and felting a bag. I almost ended up driving to the wrong part of the island as for some reason google map got very confused with &lt;a href="http://clasheen.wordpress.com/"&gt;Nicola&lt;/a&gt;'s address and directed me to Co. Kerry. Fortunately I got in touch with &lt;a href="http://clasheen.wordpress.com/"&gt;Nicola &lt;/a&gt;before I left the house, which saved me driving 200km in the opposite direction ;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wydaje się, że całe wieki zajęło mi skończenie mojej filcowej torby choc wcale nie przeszkadzało mi to w jej używaniu i zaliczeniu jej do grona moich ulubionych. Ciągle brakuje jej porządnego zatrzasku ale co tam. Znajdę, kupię i przyczepię. A do tego czasu będę nosić bez. A mało brakowało a torba wogóle by sie nie "urodziła". Zapisałam sie bowiem na kurs filcowania do Nicoli i zadowolona zaczęłam planowac wyjazd. Ponieważ nie posiadam nawigacji satelitarnej a podróż autobusem/pociągiem w tym kraju raczej mija się za celem, postanowiłam że zaufam mapom google. Wpisałam więc w wyszukiwarkę adres Nicoli i wydrukowałam mapkę. Na szczęście jednak, zanim wyruszyłam w ponad dwustu kilometrową podróż do hrabstwa Kerry, wysłałam mejla do Nicoli z prośbą o wytłumaczenie jak wygląda i gdzie dokładnie jest jej studio. No i okazało się, że nie mieszka ona w hrabstwie Kerry a raczej Carlow, które znajduje się w zupełnie innej części wyspy. Ja wiem, że Irlandia nie jest dużym krajem ale nie byłabym zadowolona gdybym w sobote rano dzwoniła do Nicoli żeby jej zameldować że zgubiłam się pod Killarney, kiedy jej studio znajduje się pod Kilkenny (jakies 3h drogi)! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After a rather long drive, which seemed even longer considering that I left the house before the sunrise to arrive at my destination on time, I reached Clasheen HQ and was greeted by uber friendly duo: Rex and his owner, &lt;a href="http://clasheen.wordpress.com/"&gt;Nicola&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We started the day with a tea/ coffee and a little introductionery chat and then we all eagerly relocated to &lt;a href="http://clasheen.wordpress.com/"&gt;Nicola&lt;/a&gt;'s studio where she walked us through the different bag designs, their sizes and shapes, flaps, pockets, straps and/or other handles. We talked about the inclusions, use of different materials (i.e glass or stone pebbles, beads, dreadlocks, fish skin(!), fabric, plastic nets... you name it). Finally we started sketching the designs and got to work picking&amp;nbsp; materials, laying out the layers and felting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wydrukowałam nowe mapki, sprawdziłam nawet zdjęcia z ulicy i przed bladym świtem wyruszyłam w podróż. Dotarłam na miejsce po prawie 3 godzinach drogi, idealnie na czas. Przywitał mnie bardzo przyjacielski duet: pies Rex i jego pani &lt;a href="http://clasheen.wordpress.com/"&gt;Nicola&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Po szybkiej kawie/herbacie i przywitaniu się z pozostałymi uczestniczkami kursu, przeniosłysmy sie do studio i zabrały do roboty. &lt;a href="http://clasheen.wordpress.com/"&gt;Nicola&lt;/a&gt; pokazała nam swoje filcowe torby omawiając różnice w ich konstrukcji, rozmiarze, kształcie, a także rozmieszczeniu kieszeni i rodzaju pasków, rączek i innych uchwytów. Omówiłyśmy różne techniki i materiały (szklane kamyki, zwykłe kamyki, koraliki, dredy, rybie skóry (!), plastikowe siatki itd itp) Wreszcie kazda z nas zabrała się za szkicowanie projektu własnej torby, wybieranie materiałów i samo filcowanie.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5613820874/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Felting - work in progress by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Felting - work in progress" height="480" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5270/5613820874_5613656ca0_z.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Hard at work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Praca wre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I have chosen to make a medium size bag with incorporated strap and an inner pocket using icelandic wool and a piece of knitted fabric (stockinette stitch piece made with NORO Kureyon). I also chose to incorporate glass pebbles and the pieces of knitted fabric deep in the felt layers. After a good few hours of rubbing and rolling and I was ready to cut the resist out and form the strap before driving home to Galway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Zdecydowałam się na średniej wielkości torbę z wbudowanym długim paskiem i wewnętrzną kieszonką. Moim materiałem roboczym miała być czarna wełna&amp;nbsp; z islandzkich owiec i kawałek dzianiny wykonanej z włóczki NORO Kureyon. Dodatkowo pistanowiłam ozdobic torbe szklanymi kamyczkami i wykończyć koralikami. Po kilku godzinach układania kolejnych warstw, masowania i rolowania, bylam gotowa do nacięcia torby, wyciecia paska i wyjęcia szablonu. Tyle zdążyłam zrobic u Nicoli.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5613241129/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Felting - work in progress by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Felting - work in progress" height="480" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5148/5613241129_28848a8da9_z.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Materials and sketches ready&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Materiały i schemat projektu gotowe&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I spent the next morning working some more on the bag. The wool layers were quite thick and needed more fulling, inclusions and pebbles needed releasing and the freshly cut edges needed sealing and then the bag needed the third dimension. I think it took me about 7 hours to get the whole piece done in part probably because it was the first time making it and I really wanted to do it properly to learn to feel the wool at each stage of work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The next step was to decorate the dry bag with beads and sew in the inner pocket. Once this was done the weather turned from bad to worse and there was no way I could take a half descent photo of the bag. Ugh... that of course did not stop me from using the bag ;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dofilcowanie torby, wycięcie otworów na szklane dropsy i zasklepienie cietych krawędzi zajęło mi cały następny ranek. Później trzeba było jeszcze&amp;nbsp; nadać płaskiej torbie trzeci wymiar i porządnie wysuszyć. Jak dobrze policzę to spędziłam na tej zabawie jakieś 7 godzin. Dużo, wiem. Ale chciałam zrobić wszystko książkowo i nauczyc się "czuć" wełnę w każdym kolejnym stadium roboty.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sucha torbe należało jeszcze wykonczyć. Podszyłam wewnętrzna kieszonkę, przyszyłam koraliki. Pogoda sie sknociła i za nic w świecie nie mogłam zrobić jej prządnych zdjęć. Ale nosic mogłam ... to nosiłam. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5613818456/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="wet felted bag 28 - FRONT by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="wet felted bag 28 - FRONT" height="640" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5146/5613818456_8bdf4b09a5_z.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Front view&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Widok z przodu&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5613817988/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="wet felted bag 26 - BACK by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="wet felted bag 26 - BACK" height="640" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5223/5613817988_44a74675ce_z.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Back view&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Widok z tyłu&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5613235493/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="wet felted bag 15 - FRONT underneath the flap by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="wet felted bag 15 - FRONT underneath the flap" height="480" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5023/5613235493_536e519d4c_z.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Front underneath the flap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przód torby pod klapą&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5613237193/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="wet felted bag 22 - BACK DETAIL of the beading around the inclusion of knitted fabric by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="wet felted bag 22 - BACK DETAIL of the beading around the inclusion of knitted fabric" height="640" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5261/5613237193_b740bee4ea_z.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Back of the bag - beading around the inclusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tył torby - koraliki wokół wtopionej w filc dzianiny&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5613232067/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="wet felted bag 05 - BLING!

Not only it was a pleasure to meet you and the rest of felt ladies (not to mention your dog, which I wanted to kidnap and take home with me!) I also learned a lot and most importantly got tons of inspiration. I am already planning on making another one, but need to source the Icelandic or Norwegian wool and Wensleydale locks first. Then, there's no stopping me!

W głowie mam już kilka kolejnych toreb i jak tylko znajdę dobrego dostawcę isladzkiej lub norweskiej wełny i loków z wensleydale, biorę się za robotę.

Ever since we have moved into the new house and were fixed us with a new modem (or router, whatever it is called, you know the box with blinking lights) I am having hard time connecting to the internet in the mornings. It seems like the "box" is loosing connection every few minutes and it takes a while for it to re-establish it. ;/ Not sure what the problem is and to be honest I don't really want to know. I just want to be able to check my email at any time of the day (or night).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But I degress, this was not supposed to be a rant post.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I am very excited this morning, despite the IT problems. As I type this post two ladies are on their way to the my house (aka KSF HQ) for a day of spinning frenzy! They both know how to spin already and each owns a spinning wheel, which they are bringing so this will be an ADVANCED spinning session. I'm not sure what exactly we will be tackling but I'm sure we will have fun! I will keep you posted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Also, big thanks to Alex, of Feanor Crafts for letting me use her shop as a venue for spinning demonstrations. I loved seeing and talking to her customers. If you're ever in Galway and are interested in arts and crafts take a few minutes to walk to her shop. You will not regret it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;OK, I'd better run and get the fibre for spinning downstairs before my students appear. Have a good day everyone! Adiós!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5475847775/" title="Fruit bowl04 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Fruit bowl04" height="640" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5097/5475847775_d1e5aecd45_z.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mam dziś od samego rana straszne problemy z internetem. Zresztą, nie pierwszy raz. Odkąd przeprowadziliśmy sie do nowego domu i zostaliśmy podłączeni do sieci za pomocą nowszego modemu (czy routera, nie wiem jaka jest fachowa nazwa tego pudełka z mrugającymi światełkami) mam problam z utrzymaniem połączenia z rana. Nie wiem co jest grane, nie znam sie na tym i szczerze powiem, nie zależy mi żeby się poznać. Ale wygląda to tak, jakby to nowe "pudełko" gubiło sygnał co parę minut a później troche trwa znim wszystko zainicjuje się od nowa. Ech, technika... No, ale nie o tym miałam tu pisać...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Za oknem pachnie koszona trawa a gdzies po autostradzie śmigaja w moim kierunku dwie panie na lekcje przędzenia. Obie potrafia już prząść włóczki i są w posiadaniu własnych kołowrotków. Zapowiada się więc dzień udoskonalania technik i nauki tych bardziej zaawansowanych. Co dokładnie bedziemy robić, pojęcia nie mam. Ale wiem, że bedzie wesoło i produktywnie ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A skoro juz o przędzeniu mowa, to wielkie podziękowania dla Oli (właścicielki sklepu Feanor) za udostępienie mi miejsca w sklepie na małe prząśnicze demo. Jeśli kiedykolwiek znajdziecie się w Galway, koniecznie odwiedźcie jej sklep. Nie bedziecie rozczarowani!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dobra, lepiej juz zmykam, musze znieść całe moje zapasy wełny na dół, zanim pojawią się moje "uczennice".

This time I got to test run &lt;a href="http://www.maireadsharry.blogspot.com%20/"&gt;Mairead&lt;/a&gt;'s Ashford Traveller (DT single drive band) wheel. It is similar size to my one but the double treadle makes it soo much easier to control the movement of the wheel. The Scotch tension was a bit tricky to set at first as I've only worked with a double drive band so far. But once I tried to turn the knobs and see what they do it took a minute or two to adjust them to the right position. I also got to try spinning Galway sheep wool, which I never even heard of (imagine that!). It's much coarser than merino and the Shetland I combed some time ago, but once carded it spins into an even strong single. You can also spin it straight from the locks as the sheep are very clean and there's not a lot of lanolin in the hairs. I took a sample of it home with me and as soon as I take some decent photos of the sheep itself I'll post it here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;W środę zupełnie niespodziewanie robiłam kolejną pokazową sesję przędzenia wełny na kołowrotku. Wybrałam sie do biblioteki w Oranmore (około 10km od Galway) żeby poznać &lt;a href="http://www.maireadsharry.blogspot.com%20/"&gt;Mairead&lt;/a&gt;, którą poniekąd znam od jakiegos czasu "wirtualnie". &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;W ramach obchodów Dnia św. Patryka mieszkancy Oranmore zaprosili do siebie ludzi zajmujacych się tradycyjnym rzemiosłem. &lt;a href="http://www.maireadsharry.blogspot.com%20/"&gt;Mairead &lt;/a&gt;przyjechała ze swoim kołowrotkiem Ashford Traveller (2 pedałki, 1 cięgno), gręplarką bębnową i workiem pełnym owczego runa (rasa Galway, o której istnieniu nie miałam zielonego pojęcia!). W ciagu kilku minut zostałam wciągnieta w prowadzenie pokazu. Ja na kołowrotku, &lt;a href="http://www.maireadsharry.blogspot.com%20/"&gt;Mairead &lt;/a&gt;przy gręplarce i krośnie, a Pearl pokazywała jak wyplata się irlandzkie &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMj7RJDwp8U"&gt;krzyże św. Brygidy.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ustawienie kołowrotka zajęło mi kilka minut, jako że nigdy wcześniej nie bawiłam się pojedynczym cięgnem. Musiałam pokręcić wszystkim co sie dało, zobaczyć co się zmienia a potem jakos poszło. Powiem szczerze, że dwa pedałki to super sprawa. O wiele łatwiej kontroluje się ruch koła, co przysparza kłopotów zwłaszcza początkującym prządkom.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;O runie, którego dostałam trochę do przetestowania, napiszę wiecej jak zrobię mu zdjęcia i troche z nim popracuję. Pierwsze wrażenia: szorstkie, czyste i mało tłuste. Muszę tez koniecznie znaleźć zdjecie owcy albo jeszcze lepiej samą owcę bom bardzo ciekawa jak wygląda owo zwierze i czy już kiedyś je widziałam.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Było bardzo sympatycznie, babcie (i jeden dziadek!), choć same nigdy nie przędły, zadawały wiele pytań i chętnie opowiadały o swoich robótkowych poczynaniach. Niektóre nawet dziś, mimo naprawdę podeszłego wieku, ostro dziergały szaliki i inne małe rzeczy. Kręcący się kołowrotek chyba je troche zahipnotyzował, dwie panie smacznie posnęły i dopiero przyniesiona przez opiekunki herbata i czekoladowe ciasteczka wyrwala je ze snu i dodała energii. Zawsze wiedziałam, ze czekolada potrafi zdziałać cuda ;D Jedna z pań od młodości zjada kostke czekolady dziennie bo podobno dzięki temu nie choruje! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;I've been doing a little spinning demonstration today, in the &lt;a href="http://www.coralhavengalway.com/"&gt;nursing home &lt;/a&gt;near by.

Here's a sneak peak of what can you find inside the shop with bright pink front ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5511221095/" title="&amp;quot;Nursery&amp;quot; Hand painted, handspun merino by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="&amp;quot;Nursery&amp;quot; Hand painted, handspun merino" height="375" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5216/5511221095_e3d0483853.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5511819794/" title="&amp;quot;Shamrock&amp;quot; Hand painted, handspun merino by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="&amp;quot;Shamrock&amp;quot; Hand painted, handspun merino" height="375" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5051/5511819794_e536a1f0f5.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5511819168/" title="&amp;quot;Calm&amp;quot; Handspun merino by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="&amp;quot;Calm&amp;quot; Handspun merino" height="375" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5140/5511819168_8850508247.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5511218713/" title="&amp;quot;Leprechaun&amp;quot; Handspun merino, angelina and silk by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="&amp;quot;Leprechaun&amp;quot; Handspun merino, angelina and silk" height="380" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5257/5511218713_8bc2ab82e7.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5476453276/" title="Ready to be delivered to the local yarn shop ;) by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Ready to be delivered to the local yarn shop ;)" height="375" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5476453276_a33fc21e40.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Almost all skeins contain 100 yards&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; (circa about) of handspun and in many cases also hand painted yarn.

Farbowałam fioletami i zielenią, ale jak widać, sporo w czesance niebieskiego. To jedwab inaczej wchłaniał kolorki. Praktycznie wogóle nie zabarwił się na fioletowo :( A może fiolet mi się "rozwarstwił"? Nie wiem, czy to ja coś sknociłam po drodze (temperaturę, pH, roztwór soli?) czy może ten typ tak po prostu ma. Ktoś miał podobne doświadczenie?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sama nitka wyszła pulchna i świeciąca.120m i 8wpi (grubość Aran). Merynosa z jedwabiem bardzo przyjemnie sie&amp;nbsp; przędzie. Mam pofarbowane jeszcze trochę w odcieniach turkusu i zieleni. Ale o tym inną razą ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I've dyed and spun some merino/ silk blend for a friend's spring beret project. I only used purples and greens in the dye pot but for some reason the silk did not catch the purples at all and instead turned blue. Not that I'm complaining, it's a lovely shade, just not what I expected. Maybe the conditions were sub optimal (wrong temp., pH or salt concentration?). Have you had any surprises like this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The yarn itself is soft, squishy-squashy with a lovely silky sheen. There's just enough for a spring beret, 131y and 8wpi (Aran weight). I must say I really enjoyed spinning this blend. And will spin more as I have another batch dyed in greens and turquoise. But more about it some other time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-5FfkZ2Dq0/TWUrMM96ZiI/AAAAAAAABz0/pmKimNmVeMs/s1600/silk_merino_Na+wiosenna+beretke08.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-5FfkZ2Dq0/TWUrMM96ZiI/AAAAAAAABz0/pmKimNmVeMs/s400/silk_merino_Na+wiosenna+beretke08.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5455909948/" title="silk_merino_Na wiosenna beretke01 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="silk_merino_Na wiosenna beretke01" height="300" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5092/5455909948_028b99274e_z.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5455910830/" title="silk_merino_Na wiosenna beretke06 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="silk_merino_Na wiosenna beretke06" height="400" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5180/5455910830_cd5b4b5b0a_z.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5455298695/" title="silk_merino_Na wiosenna beretke05 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="silk_merino_Na wiosenna beretke05" height="300" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5216/5455298695_2dcb028e88_z.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-3451966219552557453?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/3451966219552557453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=3451966219552557453&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/3451966219552557453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/3451966219552557453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2011/02/na-wiosenna-beretke.html' title='Na wiosenną beretkę'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-5FfkZ2Dq0/TWUrMM96ZiI/AAAAAAAABz0/pmKimNmVeMs/s72-c/silk_merino_Na+wiosenna+beretke08.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-3733015620890292483</id><published>2011-02-22T13:41:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-02-22T13:41:53.057Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ETSY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giveaway'/><title type='text'>150 fan giveaway!

Nic mnie z domu nie wygna na tą "cudowną" irlandzką wiosnę. Tak, tak, w Irlandii mamy już kalendarzową wiosnę. Tylko chyba gdzieś się zaszyła, bo nawet psa z kulawą nogą bym na dwór nie wygnała w taką pogodę. To niesamowite jak prawa fizyki są tu naginane. Deszcz pada z góry, pod skosem, poziomo a czasem nawet od dołu. Po 15 sekundach w takich warunkach człowiek wygląda jak zmokła kura albo jak jakiś dziwak, który właśnie wykąpał się w ciuchach. Mieszkam tu już tyle lat, ale chyba nigdy nie przyzwyczaję się do takiej ilości deszczu. A jeszcze jak dojdzie do tego porywisty wiatr... Nic mnie z domu nie wygna.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's grey, gloomy and wet outside. There's no way I'm leaving the house and brave the Irish Spring. Oh yes, it is Spring in Ireland, allright ;) I'm just not sure where exactly. It's amazing how the law of physics are being stretched here. We have rain falling from above, shooting at an angle and even hitting you from below. Amazing! No one stands a chance.15 seconds in such conditions and you're soaking wet, looking like a wet chicken or some whacky person who just showered with the clothes on. As I said. There's no way I'm leaving the house.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Siedziałam więc niedawno starając sie nie patrzeć na to co dzieje się za oknem, ignorować gwizdy i huczenie wiatru, skrzypienie targanych gałęzi drzew, i stukot kropli deszczu, i kręciłam wełenkę.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As I was sitting warm and dry in front of the roaring fire in my sitting room I had the spinning wheel with me and worked on a yarn desperately trying to ignore the gashing wind, rattling windows and pitter-patter of the rain.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5390309662/" title="SPINNING - Humbug Jacob13 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="SPINNING - Humbug Jacob13" height="375" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5100/5390309662_2299c14b87.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/5390306070/" title="SPINNING - Humbug Jacob01 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="SPINNING - Humbug Jacob01" height="375" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5132/5390306070_200b520e8b.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;2x165m&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Humbug Jacob (&lt;a href="http://www.worldofwool.co.uk/"&gt;World of Wool&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A w przerwach dziergałam skarpetki.

But I was at a loss when it came to the&amp;nbsp; rest of the design. Likely I knew exactly whom to ask for help.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.morganobrienart.com/index.html"&gt;Morgan O'Brien&lt;/a&gt; is an artist and illustrator whose wark (and his watercolours especially) I've been admiring for a long time now. And being married to a &lt;a href="http://www.neencrochet.blogspot.com/"&gt;lovely founder&lt;/a&gt; of my local&lt;a href="http://stitchnbitchgalway.blogspot.com/"&gt; knit and stitch group&lt;/a&gt;, he definitely knows about knitting and my wool obsession! I knew that whatever he comes up with regarding the KSF logo would be just right. And so, after several emails and one work meeting face-to-face (or rather face-to-computer-to-face) the new, crisp and eye catching logo was born.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pomysł na logo miałam w głowie od jakiegoś czasu. Chciałam, żeby pierwsze literki z nazwy zlewały się ze soba tworząc jakby chiński symbol kanji. Pojecia nie miałam jak ten symbol "ubrać" i wykończyć logo, tak żeby wyglądało profesjonalnie.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ale od czego ma się znajomosci. &lt;a href="http://www.morganobrienart.com/index.html"&gt;Morgan O'Brien&lt;/a&gt;, mąż &lt;a href="http://www.neencrochet.blogspot.com/"&gt;koleżanki &lt;/a&gt;jest swietnym artystą grafikiem. Od jakiegos już czasu podziwiałam jego akwarele. Jego pomarańczowy dinozaur rzadzi! Na dodatek Nina (żona) jest założycielką mojej l&lt;a href="http://stitchnbitchgalway.blogspot.com/"&gt;okalnej grupy crafterskiej&lt;/a&gt;, z którą spędzam sobotnie popołudnia. W związku z tym Morgan doskonale orientuje sie w robótkach i mojej wełnianej obsesji:) Byłam więc spokojna o losy loga. Wymienilismy kilka mejli, urzadzilismy jedno posiedzenie robocze przed komputerem i tak oto powstało:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVHKSJpPDiI/AAAAAAAAByk/g8ZXYz3zt4E/s1600/square_banner_900px.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVHKSJpPDiI/AAAAAAAAByk/g8ZXYz3zt4E/s320/square_banner_900px.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVHMt9xRLeI/AAAAAAAABy0/LWX5qX4yiPg/s1600/ksf_006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVHMiBD93oI/AAAAAAAAByw/YqOd4JOKeW8/s1600/ksf_005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVHMiBD93oI/AAAAAAAAByw/YqOd4JOKeW8/s400/ksf_005.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm ready to order some cute MOO cards and corner the market!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;To teraz jestem gotowa do zamówienie swoich ulubionych malutkich wizytówek z MOO i podbój rynku ;) Poważna sprawa.

Owca wyczesana.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TUB7-oRD-YI/AAAAAAAABw8/3ZaeA4dWse0/s1600/Fleece55.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TUB7-oRD-YI/AAAAAAAABw8/3ZaeA4dWse0/s400/Fleece55.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As some of you&amp;nbsp; noticed in previous post, the fleece was very fluffy after carding which I think helped with the combing process. There were very few places where it was felted, most came apart nicely without much effort on my side.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Runo, jak zauważyliście w poprzednim poście, było dość puchate po praniu i niewiele było podfilcowanych dredów, których nie dało się już rozczesać. Nie miałam więc zbytnich problemów z użyciem grzebienia do czesania. Za diz posłużył mi jakiś jednodziurkowy guzik znaleziony na dnie szuflady.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TUB8Biu2QxI/AAAAAAAABxA/cHeiEaMloYI/s1600/Fleece16.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TUB8Biu2QxI/AAAAAAAABxA/cHeiEaMloYI/s400/Fleece16.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yes, you see correctly. the hackle is attached to my radiator. It worked great adding an extra support to it and keeping me warm at the same time;)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tak, tak, dobrze widzicie, grzebyk przyczepiłam do kaloryfera.

I managed to fill the whole plastic bag with these leftovers. I think there's enough to fill a small cushion but I may use it in some other way (not sure how yet).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Do woreczka pod grzebieniem zbierałam resztki runa które nie przeszły przez diz, głównie króciutkie włoski i sfilcowane kulki.

Now, the time has come to wash, comb and spin them into yarn (and hopefully knit into something too!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I started with the sheep fleece. I just admit I have no idea which breed of sheep is the fleece from. I have a suspicion it may be Suffolk (black heads and legs, running all over Connemara??) but it may as well be some other breed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I selected few locks to have a look at the fibre and measured it to be on average about 8cm (~3") long, with a lot of crimp, which makes it very "stretchy".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Jakiś czas temu dostałam w swoje ręce kilka worków runa. Dwa worki runa owczego i 2 ze strzyżenia alpak. Dojrzewaly sobie w szopie aż wreszcie przyszedł czas się za nie zabrać, wyprać, wyczesać, ukręcić wełnę i może nawet coś z nich udziergać.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Na pierwszy ogień poszła owca. Pojęcia nie mam z jakiego rodzaju owieczek pochodzi to runo, bo trafiło do mnie po łańcuszku i nikt się tak naprawdę na owcach nie zna. Wiem tyle, że biegają po Connemara, mają czarne nóżki i łebki. Po poszperaniu w sieci wydaje mi się, że może to byc suffolk, choć głowy nie dam. Może ktoś z was jest w stanie zidentyfikować delikwenta?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wyciągnęłam kilka loków żeby przyjrzeć się pojedynczym włoskom. Średnia długość jakieś 8cm, dość karbowane, skręcone w palcach daja bardzo sprężystą nitkę.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxV9hE09I/AAAAAAAABwA/2YgF5budRoQ/s1600/Fleece06.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxV9hE09I/AAAAAAAABwA/2YgF5budRoQ/s400/Fleece06.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxHvJOHSI/AAAAAAAABvw/4RoGpobeuNA/s1600/Fleece10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The fleece was almost as hard as a rock, after sitting compressed in the bag for several months. I spread it out on the kitchen floor (picture shows the content of a single bag) and divided into smaller sections, so that they fit into my basin and a bucket easily.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Po kilku miesiącach leżakowania w worku, runo było sprasowane i twarde jak kamień. Wywaliłam wszystko na podłogę w kuchni i rozwinęłam. Na zdjęciu zawartość jednego wora, którą podzieliłam na mniejsze części, mieszczące się w misce i wiadrze.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxYxnxnyI/AAAAAAAABwE/DaDXTTAmRi4/s1600/Fleece07.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxYxnxnyI/AAAAAAAABwE/DaDXTTAmRi4/s400/Fleece07.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I mixed very hot (but not boiling) tap water with washing up liquid (later replaced with shampoo or wool care detergent) and emerged the fleece in the soapy bath. Instantly the water colour changed from clear (or milky white, depending on the type of detergent used) to yellowish- brown.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Do prania użyłam bardzo gorącej wody z kranu z dodatkiem sporej ilości płynu do mycia naczyń. Przy praniu późniejszych partii zastąpiłam go nieużywanym szamponem albo specjalnym płynem do prania wełny (z Lidla). Szampon był z dodatkiem jakiś cudownych mieszanek nawilżających (za ciężki na moje włosy) i przyznam szczerze, że wysuszone runo, które potraktowałam tym specyfikiem tez wyszło dość ciężkie i tłustawe.Do przędzenia w sam raz, ale nie wiem jak będzie z farbowaniem albo filcowaniem. Dla bezpieczeństwa polecam więc trzymanie się bardziej tradycyjnych detergentów. Płyny (ten do naczyń i specjalny do wełny) wyprały wełnę bardzo podobnie. w sumie to nie jestem w stanie odróżnić które partie wyprałam w jakim specyfiku.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ale wracając do samego prania. Bardzo gorąca woda i sporo detergentu mają usunąć lanolinę z włosia. I od razu po zanurzeniu runa w wodzie woda zmieniła kolor z przejrzystej (albo lekko mleczno-białej, w zależności od detergentu) na żółtawo-brązową.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxSejFbfI/AAAAAAAABv8/o7f9uXu8JVg/s1600/P1140002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxSejFbfI/AAAAAAAABv8/o7f9uXu8JVg/s400/P1140002.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I let the fleece soak for about 20-30 minutes and poured off the dirty,&amp;nbsp; lanolin saturated water and moved the, much whiter, fleece to a fresh hot water bath. In total I think I rinsed the fleece (after the soapy bath) about 4 times. The water was still a bit cloudy but nothing like the first time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Moczyłam wszystko jakieś 20-30 minut po czym pozbyłam sie tej żółto-brunatnej breji, a wełnę przełożyłam delikatnie do czystej (gorącej) wody. Ważne żeby starać się używacćwody o zbliżonej temperaturze żeby zapobiec sfilcowaniu wełny, ale nie trzeba stać nad kranem z termometrem, nerwowo kręcąc kurkami. Wystarczy żeby nie przekładać wełny z ciepłej wody do gorącej albo zimnej.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Moje runo wymagało 4 płukań w czystej wodzie żeby usunąć większość lanoliny. Woda po ostatnim płukaniu była jeszcze ciągle mętna, ale to już nic w porównaniu z tym co wylałam z misek przy pierwszym zanurzaniu.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxKqBto-I/AAAAAAAABv0/SM88ulOH2q8/s1600/Fleece12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxKqBto-I/AAAAAAAABv0/SM88ulOH2q8/s400/Fleece12.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It has to be said that I tried not to disturb the fibers too much to avoid felting them. During the soaks I poke the wool from time to time with a bamboo stick or pushed it all the way to the bottom of the basin with my hands.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ważne żeby w czasie maczania jak najmniej dotykać wełnę, zwłaszcza jeśli dobrze się filcuje. Jeśli to możliwe to najlepiej w ogóle jej nie dotykać, ale ja, ponieważ używałam małych "naczyń" i sporej ilości wełny, od czasu do czasu dźgałam ją bambusowym kijkiem albo spychałam na dno naczynia rękoma.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxOMhl_XI/AAAAAAAABv4/ankK0N392BI/s1600/P1140001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxOMhl_XI/AAAAAAAABv4/ankK0N392BI/s400/P1140001.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After the last rinse I moved the fleece into an old pillow case and let the water drain while I prepared the next batch. Once the pillowcase was filled to about 3/4 of the way I tied a knot securing the opening and placed it in the washing machine. Now this step is great but only do it if your washing machine does not spray cold water while spinning. Some machined do and this will cause the wool to felt, so make sure to check beforehand. You can of course squeeze out the water by hand but the machine does it much better and if you keep your fleece in a&amp;nbsp; bag letting it should not felt and would dry out in a matter of hours. I let my fleece dry spread on an old duvet cover, close to the radiator (any airy place will work fine). From time to time I flipped it over and moved around until all was dry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Po ostatnim płukaniu przełożyłam mokrą wełnę do&amp;nbsp; starej poszewki na poduszkę i odłożyłam na suszarke do naczyń, żeby obciekła. W tym czasie prałam następne partie. Kiedy poszewka napełniła sie tak w 3/4, zawiązałam rogi, żeby jej zawartość nie zapaskudziła mi pralki i włożyłam poduchę do wywirowania. I tu kolejna uwaga. Należy sprawdzić, czy pralka nie spryskuje prania w czasie wirowania zimna wodą. Niektóre tak mają, a to spowoduje sfilcowanie wełny. Wrzucenie wełny w poduszce nie powoduje jej filcowania a odwirowanie bardzo przyspiesza suszenia. Oczywiście można to zrobić ręcznie, ale jeśli się nie boicie, polecam pralkę.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Odwirowana wełna powędrowała na koniec na podłogę przy grzejniku, gdzie rozłożyłam ja dość cienko na starej poszewce od kołdry i od czasu do czasu podrzucałam i obracałam żeby powietrze dochodziło we wszystkie zakamarki.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxHvJOHSI/AAAAAAAABvw/4RoGpobeuNA/s1600/Fleece10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TTgxHvJOHSI/AAAAAAAABvw/4RoGpobeuNA/s400/Fleece10.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you're worried about moths, the fleece can be placed in the freezer for a couple of days. Cold temperature will kill off any remaining life but you may have to dry the fleece again for a short time as it will get a bit dump.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The first batch of my sheep fleece was washed in 3 soapy baths before I stared rinsing it but as I found out, one soapy bath is sufficient. Some people like to keep a bit of lanolin on the fibres for spinning, some like to spin raw fleece. I'd suggest you try all and stick to the one you like best.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jeśli boicie się ataku moli, które mogą gnieździć się w runie, po wypraniu można je włożyc na kilka dni do zamrażarki. Niskie temperatury skutecznie wybija wszelkie, chowajace się tam, życie. Po wyjęciu z zamrażarki wełna może być wilgotna, trzeba ją więc trochę podsuszyć przed zmagazynowaniem albo dalszym obrabianiem.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I jeszcze jedno. Wydawało mi się, że po pierwszym praniu w detergencie nie usunęłam całej lanoliny, dlatego pierwsza (najbardziej eksperymentalna) partia runa przeszła przez 3 fazy kąpieli mydlanych zanim zaczęłam ją płukać. Ale przy następnych robiłam już&amp;nbsp; pojedyncze pranie w płynie i nie widzę różnicy w "tłustości" wysuszonej wełny. Niektórzy lubią pracować z wełną prosto od owcy, niektórzy piorą ale pozostawiają nieco lanoliny, która ułatwia przędzenie i dodatkowo dba o nasze dłonie. Jeszcze inni lubią pracę z suchą, porządnie odtłuszczona wełną. Najlepiej spróbować wszystkiego i zobaczyć co najbardziej wam odpowiada.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After finishing the sheep fleece I decided to keep going and washed some aplaca. I think (but again can not be sure) that I was given 2 coats of brown alpaca and some white one. Will have to check with Ewa who gave it to me to be sure. This fiber is much less lanolin saturated thus It does not require such a hot bath and less detergent (or a milder one) can be used. In general I used the same procedure to wash alpaca as I did for the sheep fleece, soapy bath and 4 washes, spinning cycle in the washing machine and drying flat in an airy place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So here it is, my washed fleece (only half of the brown alpaca is shown here), waiting to be carded.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;More about that in part 2.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Po przepraniu owcy, postanowiłam iść za ciosem i uprać tez alpaki. Dwa wory czekoladowej i jeden białej (choc co do tej drugiej to wcale nie jestem pewna czy to alpaka, Ewa poratuj, co to było, pamietasz?). Zdecydowanie mniej lanoliny, więcej kurzu i ogólnie brudu. Samo pranie wyglądało podobnie jak w przypadku owcy, ale woda nie musiała już być taka gorąca i mozna śmiało użyc mniej (albo łagodniejszego) detergentu. Podobnie jak owcę, alpaka też skończyła w wirówce i rozłożona na podłodze właśnie kończy się suszyć.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;To tyle jeśli chodzi o pranie. O czesaniu i dalszych planach w części drugiej.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TThFHVcDjhI/AAAAAAAABwM/ygU6yJcjpTI/s1600/Fleece13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TThFHVcDjhI/AAAAAAAABwM/ygU6yJcjpTI/s400/Fleece13.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-4246920820193302437?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/4246920820193302437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=4246920820193302437&amp;isPopup=true' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/4246920820193302437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/4246920820193302437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2011/01/wielkie-pranie-fleece-processing-part-1.html' title='Wielkie pranie.

I have never been a New Years resolution person. They simply do not work for me. What's the point in announcing to the world that you're going to do this and that just to find out that you never did at the end. I only have one wish for this year and I will do my utter most to make it real. I will blog more and do it regularly! How often? Well... we just have to wait and see. I do not want to put a pressure on myself. But I will try to keep the blog dust free ;) It's a promise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mam nadzieję, że wszyscy mieliście udane święta i szampańskiego Sylwestra z zabawą do białego rana! Dziękuję za wszystkie życzenia i wiadomości. Przeczytałam wszystkie, odpowiedziałam jak dotąd na część. Pozostałych uprzejmie proszę o cierpliwość. Powoli nadrabiam zaległości internetowe.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Miliony blogujących robi publiczny rachunek sumienia, podsumowując dokonania poprzedniego roku i obwieszczając światu swoje noworoczne postanowienia. Te drugie, z przeróżnych powodów, nigdy mi się nie sprawdzały. Nie będę więc się deklarować że w tym roku zrobię to i owo tylko po to, żeby na przełomie przyszłego musieć przyznać się do porażki. Mam jedno tylko założenie na ten rok i postaram się z niego wywiązać. Pisać więcej na blogu i robię to regularnie. Jak często? Czas pokaże. Ale kurz i pajęczyny się tu nie zalęgną. Obiecuję. ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TSsG1trU-2I/AAAAAAAABvs/K0fV6qk3BVM/s1600/Maroko_blog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="302" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TSsG1trU-2I/AAAAAAAABvs/K0fV6qk3BVM/s400/Maroko_blog.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The 2010 ended not a moment too soon. Our end of year trip to Morocco ended with a news that the house got flooded while we were away. Thankfully upon our return it turned out that it's not as bad as it seems and most of our stuff cold be rescued. Poor washing machine was working 24/7 and the house was filled with a fresh laundry fragrance mixed with the smell of damp walls and carpets. After a week of drying and cleaning (with huge thanks to my parents who were there to help) the house is still far from being a show house perfect, the bathroom and guest bedroom have to be completely refurbished, new carpets put in throughout, walls need painting, but hey! it's warm, insured and liveable ;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Na szczęście rok 2010&amp;nbsp; już za nami. Wycieczka do Maroko pod koniec tego roku zakończyła się wiadomością, że nasz dom w Irlandii został zalany podczas naszej nieobecności. Na szczęście moi rodzice pojawili się na miejscu katastrofy tuż przed naszym powrotem i ogromnie pomogli nam w ogarnięciu bałaganu. Okazało się także że nie cały (czego się obawialiśmy) a jedynie część domu została zalana, co zdecydowanie zmniejszyło nasze straty (żaden sprzęt nie został zniszczony, ufff). Biedna pralka pracowała bez wytchnienia przez cały tydzień a w domu unosił się zapach świeżego prania zmieszany z zapachem wilgotnych ścian, dywanów i sufitów. Rozwieszone na kaloryferach i sznurkach suszyły się książki, mapy i przeróżne papierzyska. Ale po tygodniu, choć daleki od mieszkań z kolorowych czasopism, czekający na nową łazienkę i sypialnię, świeże dywany i nowy makijaż, nasz domek jest prawie suchy, ciepły i nadający się do życia. Niezły koniec roku, ale uff... naprawdę, mogło być o wiele gorzej.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I decided to have a look at the crafts that took my interest in 2010 and did some number crunching for you. It looks like I spend almost half of the 2010 knitting something, which hardly is a surprise to anyone ;) But I was surprised to see that I managed to spin more in 2010, compared to previous years and that I spend a considerate amount of time developing the new hobbies. 93 projects in total got started and finished last year. 93! I mean, wow!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Zamykam 2010&amp;nbsp; przyglądając się faktom. Liczby nie kłamią. 93 projekty zostały zaczęte i skończone w ubiegłym roku. Prawie połowa z tego to robótki na drutach. Ale z przyjemnością zobaczyłam, że sporo czasu poświęciłam na przędzenie i rozwijanie nowych zainteresowań. Do dziergania i przędzenia dołączyły i już chyba zadomowiły się, filcowanie i farbowanie.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TSolo652DdI/AAAAAAAABvo/2DqcG6Wu640/s1600/podsumowanieroku_graph.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="245" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TSolo652DdI/AAAAAAAABvo/2DqcG6Wu640/s400/podsumowanieroku_graph.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The 2011 has been declared a year of crafts in Ireland. A lot of fantastic events are planned for the year, for details see the &lt;a href="http://www.ccoi.ie/"&gt;Craft Council of Ireland&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://www.craftinireland.com/"&gt;2011 Year of Craft&lt;/a&gt; websites. So off with the old and in with the new! Bring on the new year! Let the crafts rule the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;To będzie dobry rok z jednego prostego powodu. Gorzej już być nie może. Na dodatek, 2011 jest w Irlandii rokiem rzemiosła i rękodzieła! Pod patronatem &lt;a href="http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_McAleese"&gt;Pani Prezydent,&lt;/a&gt; najważniejsze organizacje zrzeszające artystów i rzemieślników planują wiele interesujących imprez i szkoleń. Szczegóły zaplanowanych imprez znajdziecie na stronie &lt;a href="http://www.ccoi.ie/"&gt;Craft Coincil of Ireland&lt;/a&gt; i &lt;a href="http://www.craftinireland.com/"&gt;2011 Year of Craft&lt;/a&gt;. Będzie to zatem na pewno rok ciekawy i inspirujący.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;No to zaczynamy!&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-2527698137385030690?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/2527698137385030690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=2527698137385030690&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/2527698137385030690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/2527698137385030690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2011/01/bring-on-new-year.html' title='Bring on the new (year) !'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TSsG1trU-2I/AAAAAAAABvs/K0fV6qk3BVM/s72-c/Maroko_blog.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-3355759055656651550</id><published>2010-12-22T11:47:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-12-22T11:47:17.769Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='świątecznie'/><title type='text'>Świątecznie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The first time I dyed it I wanted it black and grey. But little did I know that black is not that easy to achieve and needs some careful preparations (proper amount of dye, ideal temperature etc). So my black ran into all sorts of colours: muddy dirty bowns, water colour blue and purple(ish). In another words: yuck! I spun the rovings anyway hoping that by some miracle the finished yarn would look decent. It didn't. Ugh. In a last attempt to rescue it I overdyed it with chocolate brown. And it worked! The yarn had a nice brown colour but the "base" colours gave it an extra dimension. Pfeww... that was such a relief to me that in the excitement I casted on immediately to knit this cute feminine cardigan, which I called a Rusty Nail due to it's colours:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wierzcie lub nie, ale ta włóczka o włos nie wylądowałaby w śmietniku. Pierwsze jej farbowanie zakończyło się totalną porażką. Chciałam wełnę w szarościach i czerni. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nie zdawałam sobie wtedy jeszcze sprawy, że te dwa kolory są jednymi z najtrudniejszych do otrzymania. Po wyschnięciu moja czesanka miała ohydne szaro-bure kolory z domieszką lekkiego błękitu i fioletu. Paskudztwo, mówię wam. Ale ukręciłam z niej nitki, sama nie wiem czemu. Może łudziłam się że z brzydkiego kaczątka powstanie piękny łabądź. Niestety. Nic z tych rzeczy. Paskuda dalej była paskudą. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ostatnią deską ratunku było przefarbowanie całości na jakiś ciemny, dobrze kryjący kolor. Postawiłam na czekoladowy brąz. I na szczeście się udało! A te pierwsze "bazowe" kolory nawet dodały całości trochę charakteru i głębi. Ufff.... Mówię wam, strasznie mi ulżyło, bo miałam tej paskudy prawie 350 gram. Z radości że udało mi się odratować wełnę, zabrałam się od razu do jej przerabiania w ten śliczny kobiecy sweterek:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/4971603343/" title="rusty nail10 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="rusty nail10" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4151/4971603343_041804c796.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pattern&lt;/b&gt;/ &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wzór&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/katrina-ballerina-lace-layering-cardigan"&gt; Katrina Ballerina Lace Layering Cardigan&lt;/a&gt; by Nicole Feller-Johnson(aka NoTwoSnowflakes)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Needles/ &lt;i&gt;Druty&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: 4.5mm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;To inject a bit of colour and to accentuate the neckline, sleeves and the bottom edge I knitted in a row or two using scraps of another of my handspuns. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I even managed to find buttons that match the colour of my handspun. Yay for my Polish button shop!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The pattern is great: top down (which means NO SEAMING), lace panels are easy so even a busy multi-colour yarn can be used, and the fit is perfect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's already one of my favourite cardigans. Great to wear with a cami, t-shirt or a long sleeved blouse!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Do podkreślenia dekoltu, mankietów i dolnego ściągacza wrobiłam w sweterek po jednym, dwóch rządkach fioletowo/niebiesko/beżowej wełny, której niewielkie resztki walały się po kątach (Ukręciłam ja dawno temu i zrobiłam z niej Otulenie).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Udało mi się nawet zakupic w niewielkiej polskiej pasmanterii guziki w idealnie dopasowanych kolorach!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sam wzór jest bardzo dobrze rozpisany, nawet dla niezbyt zaawansowanych robótkowiczów. Sweterek robiony jest od góry, dzieki czemu nie ma ani jednego szwu do wykonania! Ażurowe panele są proste, mozna więc śmiało do wykonania sweterka uzyc wielokolorowej wełny.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sweterek, nazwany &lt;u&gt;Zardzewiałym gwoździem&lt;/u&gt; ze wzgledu na kolor włóczki, jest jednym z moich ulubionych. Noszę go często, do koszulki na ramiączkach, z krótkim albo z długim rękawem.

You have a vision of the end product but how to get there? You obviously know this and that from reading various sources, be it a book, blog or an experts' forum. But you still lack the crucial hands on experience. Will you jump into deep waters?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did. I love to experiment, learn new things. Even if they don't come out exactly as I'd imagine. I see what works, what doesn't and try to improve. I dig even dipper into the theory, find answers to my new questions, look up few more videos on youtube etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first nuno felting experience was a good one. I made something that can even be worn! Has it lived up to my expectations. Emm... not exactly. See for yourselves:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przy nauce każdej nowej techniki, pierwsze nieśmiałe kroczki są najbardziej ekscytujące i najtrudniejsze &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;zarazem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;. No bo niby mamy jakąś tam wizję. Wiemy jak dana rzecz ma wyglądać jak już z nią skończymy. Ale jak dotrzeć do tego końca i kiedy on właściwie będzie?Oczywiście przekopaliśmy masę materiałów, czy to książki, blogi, czy fora internetowe. Wiedza teoretyczna jest, ale brakuje nam doświadczenia. Czy mimo wszystko wskoczyć na głęboka wodę?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wskoczyłam. Uwielbiam eksperymentować i zdobywać nowe umiejętności. Nawet jeśli moje eksperymenty nie są do końca udane, to zawsze jest jakaś ich część która sprawdza się"w praniu". Nad resztą pracuję, zmieniam, czytam dalej, zadaję nowe pytania, szukam odpowiedzi, podglądam ekspertów itp itd...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Z moim pierwszym projektem nono filcu było nie najgorzej. Przynajmniej zrobiłam coś, co nadaje się do założenia. Ale czy jest to dokładnie to, co miałam na myśli? Zdecydowanie nie. Dużo jeszcze pracy przede mną, sami popatrzcie: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/4967768734/" title="nuno filcowy szalik1_01 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="nuno filcowy szalik1_01" height="375" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/4967768734_a03b75fedb.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/4967162763/" title="nuno filcowy szalik1_15 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="nuno filcowy szalik1_15" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/4967162763_1b441386fe.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/4967769068/" title="nuno filcowy szalik1_12 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="nuno filcowy szalik1_12" height="401" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/4967769068_36e91f67d3.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/4967768838/" title="nuno filcowy szalik1_05 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="nuno filcowy szalik1_05" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4073/4967768838_421d87ee62.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8447160@N07/4967768974/" title="nuno filcowy szalik1_06 by KnitSpinFelt, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="nuno filcowy szalik1_06" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/4967768974_6b76638acb.jpg" width="357" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The minalistic colours are ok, the design is ok and so is the texture, but I don't like the border and the middle part should have more prominent holes. I think I need to cut them bigger or maybe a bit later in the felting process. The ones I cut here sealed back again ;/ I've no idea how to make the border nice and straight. Unless I use a pre-felt. But I think it still may go a bit wavy as it felts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So as you see there's plenty of room for improvements and further experimentation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kolory są minimalistyczne ale takie chciałam - niebieski i biel. Materiały dobre - wełna i tencel. Tekstura też ok - mat i połysk. Ale rozczarowała mnie koślawa bordiura i dziurki wycięte w części środkowej. Albo wycięłam je za małe albo za wcześnie w procesie filcowania i się dziadygi zrosły ;( A taki miałam ładny wzorek.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Duuużo pracy przede mną, oj dużo.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-5952235148505420026?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/5952235148505420026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=5952235148505420026&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/5952235148505420026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/5952235148505420026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2010/09/nuno-felting-baby-steps.html' title='Nuno felting - baby steps...'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/4967768734_a03b75fedb_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-3100839365236781866</id><published>2010-09-07T15:44:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-08T08:49:37.050+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fibre'/><title type='text'>Fringe</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I knew that the question regarding my whereabouts was way too simple although no one actually named &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolin_National_Park"&gt;the place&lt;/a&gt; I saw that bison. But you all guessed that I went to Scotland to Edinburgh, Sterling and Glasgow! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I met lovely Joasia aka Kocurek while staying in Edinburgh. She's a great knitter and has not so long ago joined the forces of spinners and dyers. Look what gifts she had for me:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wiedzialam, że zagadka będzie zbyt łatwa,doskonale zgadliście że w sierpniu wywiało mnie na szkockie ziemie, gdzie zwiedziłam Edynburg, Sterling i Glasgow. No a żubra widziałam w Polsce w Wolińskim Parku Narodowym ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wiecie już też że w Edynburgu spotkalam się z Kocurkową Joasią. No to dziś wam pokażę jakimi cudami zostałam przywitana.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/4967770350_9195380199_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/4967770350_9195380199_b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Starting from the top left picture we have a pastel colour silk hankie and then another one in much richer, autumn colours. I just love the rusty and gold shades there! Next is the "back" of a hand painted merino rowing she had died especially for me! It is called FRINGE, like the arts festival taking place in Edinburgh every August.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;And for dessert I got a handful of &lt;/span&gt;Leicester Long Wool &lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;locks dyed in dark blue, purples, teal and turquoise. Yum!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;W górnym rzędzie od lewej mamy ręcznie farbowane jedwabne chustki w dwóch wersjach kolorystycznych -&amp;nbsp; lekko pastelowej z delikatnymi błękitami i zielenią i drugą, bardziej intensywną w&amp;nbsp; barwach. Ta ostatnia pachnie mi już jesienią, ma piękne rudo złote odcienie. Ostatnie zdjęcie w rzędzie pokazuje "zadnią" stronę czesanki, na którą po prostu uwielbiam patrzeć. Muszę z zazdrością przyznać, że Joasia opanowała farbowanie czesanek niemal do perfekcji. Ja ciągle stawiam niepewne kroki w tym temacie. Czesanka nazywa sie FRINGE, tak jak największy festiwal teatralny odbywający się w mieście każdego sierpnia.&lt;br /&gt;Na deser dostałam jeszcze pukiel loków &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Leicester Long Wool&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;. Kolory na zdjęciu sa do bani, w rzeczywistości są bardziej turkusowo, zielone.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The few hours we had for chatting went by so quickly and even though we got a bit cold sitting on the bench in a park, we could not part and spent another good half hour talking at the crossroads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Well, hopefully this was a first but not the last meeting and maybe I'll even manage to get her over the sea to visit me in Ireland!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Joasia jest świetną osobą, bardzo sympatyczną i wesołą. A do tego super skromną! Wspólny czas zleciał nam niesłychanie szybko i choć trochę zmarzłyśmy siedząc na ławce w parku, szkoda było się rozejść w swoje strony i jeszcze dobre pół godziny gawędziłyśmy na rogu ulicy ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mam nadzieję, że to było pierwsze z wielu spotkań.

I had a visit from a super talented &lt;a href="http://fabulousfelt.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kate &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://craftobssesion.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ewa&lt;/a&gt;. Kate is a fantastic felt artist. She makes the most beautiful felted scarves I have ever seen. Go check her &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feltfieltrofilc/"&gt;Flickr photostream&lt;/a&gt; and her lovely &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/feltfieltrofilc"&gt;ETSY shop&lt;/a&gt;. It is her fault that I started felting flowers and can not stop making them ;)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wiem, że dziś już wtorek, ale co tam. Opowiam wam dziś o tym co działo się w weekend. Otóż, odwiedziły mnie dwie super utalentowane dziewuchy - &lt;a href="http://fabulousfelt.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kasia &lt;/a&gt;i &lt;a href="http://craftobssesion.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ewa&lt;/a&gt;. Kasia robi cuda z filcu, najpiekniejsze szaliki i szle jakie widziałam, cudne broszki, korale, bamboszki i milion innych rzeczy. Zajrzyjcie na jej &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feltfieltrofilc/"&gt;Flickr&lt;/a&gt; i do jej &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/feltfieltrofilc"&gt;sklepiku na ETSY&lt;/a&gt;. To jej wina, że zaczęłam filcowac kwiatki i się od nich oderwac nie mogę!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ewa on the other hand is a spinner with great eye for colour and texture. If only she wasn't that busy with her daytime job, she would have been a super successful business woman/ fibre artist. It is her fault that I want a &lt;a href="http://handspinner.co.uk/ashford_drum_carder.html"&gt;drum carder&lt;/a&gt; and a new &lt;a href="http://www.louet.com/spinning_weaving/s10.shtml"&gt;Louet &lt;/a&gt;wheel to spin bulky art yarn ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ewa z kolei, to współczesna prząśniczka ze świetnym okiem do koloru i tekstury. Gdyby tylko "prawdziwa" praca nie zajmowała jej całych dni, byłaby super prosperującą biznesłoman. I to przez nią marzy mi się &lt;a href="http://handspinner.co.uk/ashford_drum_carder.html"&gt;drum carder&lt;/a&gt; i nowy kołowrotek &lt;a href="http://www.louet.com/spinning_weaving/s10.shtml"&gt;Louet&lt;/a&gt;'a, do przędzenia grubych nietypowych włóczek ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przyjechały takie i w głowie namieszały ;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TEWg_dYah1I/AAAAAAAABlo/K2nFii9ft6k/s1600/_MG_7524.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="267" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TEWg_dYah1I/AAAAAAAABlo/K2nFii9ft6k/s400/_MG_7524.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Both ladies visited me on Saturday and stayed until Sunday evening. We had loads of fun, spinning, felting, carding, brainstorming about the possible addition to Kate's portfolio. We talked about small business opportunities in Ireland, upcoming craft markets, suppliers, families, life and many other subjects. we drank few bottles of wine, stayed up late, got up early, made a mess in my kitchen and are a tasty late lunch cooked by Ewa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pojawily się w sobotni wieczór i zostały do późnego niedzielnego popołudnia. Czas minął nam szybko na przędzeniu, filcowaniu, czesaniu wełny, burzy mozgów na temat tego co Kasia mogłaby dołączyć do swojego portfolio. Porozmawiałyśmy o możliwościach założenia biznesu w Irlandii, nadchodzących kiemraszach i targach, najlepszych źródłach materiałów, trochę o rodzinie i życiu i pewnie jeszcze o milionach innych rzeczy, których teraz nie pamiętam. Wypilyśmy kilka butelek wina, siedziałyśmy do późnych godzin i wstałyśmy wcześnie, przewróciłyśmy kuchnię do góry nogami i zjadłyśmy smakowity obiadek przygotowany przez Ewę.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I got a bag full of dyed mohair, alpaca and some other fibres that names escape me now. And a beautiful handmade spindle! Check it out:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dostałam wór wełny (farbowanego moheru, naturalnej alpaki i jeszcze coś tam, ale nie pamiętam jak się zwało) i piekne wrzecionko zrobione przez Ewę: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4809267440_14b45a66f7_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4809267440_14b45a66f7_z.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And I carded few test batts that will be listed in my shop soon.

Przy zakupie czesanki wydawała mi się bardziej zielona, a tu przyszła taka żółtawa. Ale teraz jak patrzę na gotowe nitki to chyba wyglądają na zielonkawe. Albo już mi się na oczy rzuca kompletnie. Skończonej nici brakuje sprężystości czystego merino, ale dzięki dodatkom w postaci włókien soi i bambusa, ładnie lśni.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Muszę jednak stwierdzić, że korale, których użyłam kompletnie się do tego nie nadają. Spadają mi z nici! I nie to, że nitka mi gdzieś pękła i koralik z niej spada. W magiczny sposób nitka przenika przez koralik! Tak więc wniosek z tego eksperymentu jest jeden. W przyszłości unikać korali o efekcie stłuczonego szkła.... choć ślicznie wyglądają....&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-6630982859263995774?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/6630982859263995774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=6630982859263995774&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/6630982859263995774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/6630982859263995774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2010/07/tour-de-fleece-day-12.html' title='Tour de Fleece day 12'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4082/4799128024_80e7afb133_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-4772896072933901928</id><published>2010-07-14T22:29:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-07-14T22:29:28.007+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tour de Fleece 2010'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spinning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WIP'/><title type='text'>Tour de Fleece day 11</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The yarn turned more olive green again, after plying. Yellow is now more muted, rather than standing out it created warmer shades of green and brown. Blue gives a nice contrast standing out from the greenish background.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Overall not a bad yarn.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;393.5 meters and 16-18wpi (fingering weight) is enough for a project I have in mind (but will keep it a secret for now).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So I'm off to spin another yarn. This time I'll be working with BFL from Spunky Eclectic in Sangria colourway. I had it in my stash for years now, so it's high time to turn this fibre into yarn.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Enough talking, back to spinning!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4767123799_f73f775d84.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4767123799_f73f775d84.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wczoraj wieczorkiem skończyłam skręcać singielki z merino. I powiem wam, że gotowa włóczka ma... oliwkowy kolor. Single było dość zróżnicowane, sporo zółci, brzoskwini i niebieskiego. Teraz żółty nadaje cieplejszy odcień inym kolorom, głównie oliwkowej zimnej zieleni. Niebieski ładnie wyłania się z zielonkawego tła.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;W sumie, nie najgorsza włóczka, zważywszy na to, że czesanka była totalnym eksperymentem.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mam 393 i pół metra, 16-18wpi.

Pamiętacie moje &lt;a href="http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2010/04/zabawa-z-kolorami.html"&gt;pierwsze farbowane merino&lt;/a&gt;? Nie było go zbyt wiele, marne 62g, postanowiłam więc uprząść "single" żeby otrzymać jak najdłuższą nić. Z singlami miałam ostatnio problem, bo chyba za bardzo się przyzwyczaiłam do robienia podwójnego splotu (2ply) i moje pojedyncze nitki miały w sobie za dużo skrętów. Ale przysiadłam i w skupieniu starałam się otrzymać "low twist single", czyli pojedynczą nitkę z niewielka ilością skrętów. Miękką i puszystą, ale mocna na tyle, żeby się nie rwała. Ponieważ w moim staruszku nie ma "przerzutek", ilość skrętów regulowałam podniesieniem szpulki (podkręcając "mother of all" - jakkolwiek się to po naszemu nazywa) przez co przędza szybciej nawijała się na szpulkę. Do tego wolniejsze pedałowanie pozwoliło mi na dokładniejszą kontrolę włókien. Ukręcone single związałam, porządnie wymoczyłam i lekko podfilcowałam. Dzięki temu nić się nie rwie, nawet w miejscach, gdzie skrętów jest tak mało, że normalnie nitka by pękła. Merino filcuje się tak łatwo, że wystarczyło opuścić mokry motek w zlewie a siła grawitacji zrobiła swoje.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today I am finally braking the monotony of previous posts as I have a fresh new handspun to share with you. Do you remember the &lt;a href="http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2010/04/zabawa-z-kolorami.html"&gt;first merino I had dyed&lt;/a&gt; some time ago? Well, it was promoted to yarn. A low twist single to be precise. That technique gave me some trouble before, with too much twist on the singles. i think I was just used to spinning 2ply yarn, in which you want to add more twist to singles as you lose some of the extra twist during plying. So I focused hard (at first) to control the amount of twist vs the fibre intake (bringing the mother of all up a bit) and managed to get a decent low twist single. The spun yarn was slightly felted to make sure it doesn't snap while knitting. Merino felts so easy, gravity is all it takes to felt it. So I just dropped the wet yarn into kitchen sink few times and that did the trick.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1400/4720133491_3f043b08ae_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1400/4720133491_3f043b08ae_b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Z 62 gram wyszło mi całkiem używalne 505,5 metra nitki. Wystarczy na średniej wielkości chustę albo szal. O nie! Czy ja powiedziałam "szal"? Nie ma co panikować, nie jestem pewna jeszcze czy będę z niej coś dziergać, czy może wystawię ją w sklepie. Pożyjemy, zobaczymy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I managed to get 553 yards. Good enough for a medium size shawl. Oh no, did I just say "shawl"? Worry not, I'm not sure if I will use the yarn myself or list it in my etsy shop.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1315/4720132425_c411ec2b87_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1315/4720132425_c411ec2b87_b.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1093/4720781428_70c90c5af4_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1093/4720781428_70c90c5af4_b.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;W szalach będzie niebawem mała przerwa, z okazji &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/tour-de-fleece"&gt;Tour de Fleece&lt;/a&gt;. Będzie za to monotonia kołowrotkowa. Ale zanim TdF wystartuje, 3 lipca, pomęczę was jeszcze trochę nudnymi chustami. trudno, jestem nudna i dobrze mi z tym ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Besides, there will be a short break from shawl blogging. Tour de France is starting on July 3rd and so is &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/tour-de-fleece"&gt;Tour de Fleece&lt;/a&gt;. And that means spinning. Two full weeks of spinning to be precise. So braise yourelves.

hot water and another 1/2 cup of room temperature water was added.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Merino fibre was soaked for at least 30 minutes in water with vinegar (1:5 dilution) and then drained of excess water.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cling film was placed on the table and wet (but not dripping) fibre was arranged on it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Colour was applied to the fibre using sponge brush and the dye was gently worked into the fibre using fingers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Once all colours were applied, the fibre was wrapped with the cling film and gently placed in a microwave safe dish.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Microwave was set to "HIGH" settings and the wrapped fibre was heated for 2 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Once the plate was cool enough to take out of the microwave, the fibre was gently turned upside down and heated again, for anther 2 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Once all the dye was absorbed, the plate with fibre was removed from the microwave and allowed to cool.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cool fibre was gently placed in water with vinegar (same used for pre-soaking the fibre) and excess of the dye was washed out.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finally, the fibre was hung outside to dry.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Notes&lt;/b&gt;: If, after the 2x2minutes in the microwave, the water is still full of dye, more vinegar may need to be added.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The fibre will not felt if handled gently. Gravity of falling water and dropping the wet fibre on a hard surface will cause felting, so be careful.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tym razem farbowanie przy użyciu mikrofalowki.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przepis jest prosty, ale wymaga bardzo delikatnego obchodzenia się z wełną. Ciężar wody płynacej z kranu, zbyt wigorystyczne wcieranie farby czy gwałtowna zmiana temperatury spowoduje filcowanie.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;1 łyżeczkę od herbaty barwnika w proszku dokładnie rozpuszczono w 125ml goracej wody i 125ml chłodnej (temp.pokojowa) wody zostało dodane. W sumie 1 łyżeczka na 250ml wody.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wełnę zanurzono w wodzie z octem (rozcieńczenie octu 1:5) i odstawiono na przynajmniej pół godziny do całkowitego wymoczenia a następnie odsączono nadmiar wody (na sitku albo suszarce do naczyń).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Folię spożywczą rozwinięto na blacie kuchennym a na niej odsączoną czesankę.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kolor nałożono na czesankę przy użyciu gąbki i delikatnie wmasowano we włókna.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gotową czesankę zawinięto w folię i delikatnie ułożono na talerzu (musi się nadawać do użycia w mikrofalówce).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mikrofalówke ustawiono na największą moc i włączono na 2 minuty.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Po wystygnięciu talerza zawiniętą czesankę obrócono i podgrzano przez kolejne 2 minuty.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Po calkowitym ostygnięciu czesanki, wyciągnięto ją z folii i powoli zamoczono w wodzie z octem, w celu wypłukania nadmiaru barwnika.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Czystą czesankę wysuszono na słoneczku.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Uwagi&lt;/b&gt;: Jeśli po ogrzaniu 2x2min woda jest ciągle kolorowa, należy dodać więcej octu. Wełna do farbowania musi pozostać mokra, inaczej spali się w mikrofalówce, ale nie ociekająca wodą, bo kolory będą się źle wchłaniać i mieszać.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Jak w starym kinie. Choć słuchając wieści z kraju, żałuję że nie mam czegoś weselszego do pokazania. Woda wdziera się już do mojego rodzinnego miasta. Na szczęście rodzice mieszkają na górce i na 4 piętrze. Ale zapisy po chleb i kolejki w sklepach mnie przerażają. Możecie deszcz podesłać do Irlandii, bo tutaj o dziwo nie padało od miesiąca i już prawie stan klęski żywiołowej ogłaszają w kraju. Wariactwo normalnie. Trzymajcie się tam! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today in black and white although after listening to the &lt;a href="http://www.thenews.pl/national/artykul110744_floods_in_southern_poland_.html"&gt;latest news&lt;/a&gt; from Poland I wish I had something more cheerful to show. The big water is slowly taking over my home town. My parents are safe, living on the 5th floor and on a hill, but the prospect of having to queue in the shops for food and having to sigh in on a list to get bread is terrifying. Maybe they could send some rain over here, to Ireland, as we had very little of it this month and people are starting to worry about the crops and fires. The weather it totally screwed up this year. Hang in there people!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ukręciłam trochę włóczki metodą fraktali. Tym razem zrobiłam eksperyment z kilkoma jednobarwnymi włóknami. Runo szetlandzkich owiec występuje w 4 kolorach: naturalnym białym, szarym, brązie i czerni. Wzięłam więc białe, szare i czarne, podzieliłam na odpowiednie odcinki i zaczęłam kręcić. Chciałam żeby włóczka była melanżem, przechodzącym od białego przez szary do czerni. Będę z niej robić Eliinę, pomyślałam więc, że pasy będą ładnie wyglądać. Włóczka wyszła ciekawa, ale nie wiem czy do końca jestem z niej zadowolona. Wydaje mi się trochę zbyt kontrastowa, ale zobaczymy jak wygląda przy dzierganiu.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I made some fractal yarn. This time, I used solid colours for the experiment. Shetland fleece comes in 4 natural colours: white, maroon, grey and black. I took the white, grey and black&amp;nbsp; wanting to create a tweed yarn. I'm going to knit it up into Eliina shawl so I thought that strips of light changing gradually into dark colours would look good. The yarn looks okay, but I'm not over the moon. It has too much contrast for me, but maybe it'll look nice when knitted. We just have to wait and see.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4621387196_4895a0787c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4621387196_4895a0787c.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jasny motek ma 465 i pół metra, ciemny - 393. Mam jeszcze trochę czarnej czesanki, mogę więc dokręcić jeszcze kilka metrów w razie, gdyby zabrakło mi na wykończenie szala. Ale myślę, że mam wystarczająco.

She wanted silk for a lace cardigan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nicole asked for approx. 1000 yards of fingering weight yarn. I gave her 1845 yards of very light fingering, but when held double, the yarn is right smack in the heavy fingering region. And there should be enough yardage too (922,5 yards) to knit a nice cardigan! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I posted these two skeins today and pray that they won't get lost in mail. And that she likes them!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przędzenie tego jedwabiu zaczęłam ponad miesiąc temu... i wreszcie w tym tygodniu udało mi się skończyć.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nitkę kręciłam na zamówienie Nicole, właścicielki &lt;a href="http://notwosnowflakes./"&gt;NoTwoSnowflakes.&lt;/a&gt; Chciała jedwabną włóczkę na ażurowy sweterek. Zamówienie było na około 900 metrów włóczki, grubości "fingering" (coś jak włóczka na skarpetki). Trochę mnie poniosło i ukręciłam 1687 metrów! Nitka jest na granicy "fingering" i "lace" (lace, będąca nicią cieszą), ale ponieważ jest jej sporo, Nicole może dziergać sweterek dwoma nićmi na raz.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Od dziś modlę się, żeby jakiś psa urok nie ciążył na samolocie, którym jedwab będzie wędrował do Stanów i że Nicole będzie zadowolona.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fibre&lt;/b&gt;/ &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Włókno&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;: 270g; 100% silk (&lt;i&gt;jedwab&lt;/i&gt;) from &lt;a href="http://notwosnowflakes.etsy.com/"&gt;NoTwoSnowFlakes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Finished yarn/ &lt;i&gt;Włóczka&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/b&gt; 245g; 1687m; 2ply; 26-30wpi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4587108580_9473539bb8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="375" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4587108580_9473539bb8.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Knitted Sample&lt;/b&gt;: 22 sts/10cm (4") in stst and 3mm needles&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wydziergana próbka:&lt;/b&gt; 22 oczka/10cm ściegiem gładkim na drutach 3mm &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now, that this mega project is done, I can start spinning something new. Black, grey and white yarn for &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eliina-shawl"&gt;Eliina &lt;/a&gt;(Rav link) shawl. The only problem is... I got some Jacob fibre and after spinning a small sample it seams very rough and itchy! Has anyone got any experience with this fibre? Would you recommend using it for a shawl?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I also have some black shetland/tussah silk mix, but again, it feels rough to me. What's your experience?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Teraz, kiedy ten mega wielki (a raczej, mega długi) projekt został zakończony, mogę zabrać się za coś nowego. A konkretnie, za biało-szaro-czarny melanż na chustę &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eliina-shawl"&gt;Eliina&lt;/a&gt; (link Ravelry). Tyle, że mam problem... Koncepcja była taka, żeby włóczkę ukręcić z runa owcy Jacob. Tyle, że wydaje mi się strasznie szorstka i gryząca. Nie wiem czy to tylko ja, czy rzeczywiście Jacob się nie nadaje na dzierganie czegoś, co może mieć kontakt ze skórą. Mam jeszcze czarny Szetland z jedwabiem, ale tu historia jest dokładnie taka sama. Jak dla mnie obie nitki są gryzące. Macie doświadczenie z tymi dwoma gatunkami? A może polecicie coś innego, naturalnego, w melanżu biało-szaro-czarnym? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-8038450992857454315?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/8038450992857454315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=8038450992857454315&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/8038450992857454315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/8038450992857454315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2010/05/rusty-silk.html' title='Rusty Silk'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_banner_basic_450px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4587108580_9473539bb8_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367103336761977041.post-4062495370900462830</id><published>2010-05-06T12:08:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-06T12:08:16.240+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='featured'/><title type='text'>My crafting space on PolETSY's blog</title><content type='html'>Check out today's &lt;a href="http://poletsy.blogspot.com/2010/05/welcome-to-knitspinfelts-crafting-space.html"&gt;PolETSY blog&lt;/a&gt; entrance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're cordially invited to my CARFTING SPACE ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a good day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Na blogu &lt;a href="http://poletsy.blogspot.com/2010/05/welcome-to-knitspinfelts-crafting-space.html"&gt;PolETSY jest dziś artykuł&lt;/a&gt; o moim kącie do pracy.

I got some dyes and natural merino fibre from &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feltfieltrofilc/"&gt;Kasia&lt;/a&gt;, who is a Queen of felting. seriously, go check &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FeltFieltroFilc?ga_search_query=feltfieltrofilc&amp;amp;ga_search_type=seller_usernames"&gt;her shop&lt;/a&gt;, I am in love with her work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dyed some fibre for spinning in deep purple and indigo. I did not dye much of it as I was afraid it will felt during the process which would make spinning a bit more difficult /wink, wink/. But thankfully the fibre did not felt ;) And now it's dry and it's tempting me... And I will not touch any other fibre before I finish spinning my silk. I will resist these lovely rich blueberry purple and heavenly blue... I will resist... I will...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;W ubiegły weekend spróbowałam swoich sił w farbowaniu. Zestaw barwników i naturalną czesankę merino dostałam od &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feltfieltrofilc/"&gt;Kasi&lt;/a&gt;, która jest dla mnie mistrzynią filcowania na mokro. Poważnie, idźcie do&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FeltFieltroFilc?ga_search_query=feltfieltrofilc&amp;amp;ga_search_type=seller_usernames"&gt; jej sklepiku&lt;/a&gt; i sami zobaczcie. Jest wielka!&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Pofarbowałam odrobinę merino. Odrobinę, bo bałam się, że za pierwszym razem coś sknocę i zamiast pięknej czesanki do przędzenia będę miała sfilcowany bezużyteczny flak. Ale się udało. Czesanka się nie sfilcowała, a kolory chwyciły pięknie. Teraz już wysuszona patrzy na mnie i kusi.... Ale będę twarda nie zabiorę się za przędzenie niczego innego oprócz jedwabiu, które chcę skończyć jak najszybciej (a ciągle kręcę single!). Będę twarda i nie dam się jagodowym fioletom i niebiańskim błękitom.... Będę twarda... będę... &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3635/4553953801_347bd93630.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3635/4553953801_347bd93630.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For the dying itself, I used a method described recently by &lt;a href="http://fanaberiawpradze.blogspot.com/"&gt;Basia&lt;/a&gt;. It's simple. Heat up some water with vinegar (40ml of vinegar per 1000ml of water) in a spare saucepan with a lid. Do not boil it. Soak your fibre (or yarn or fabric) in that water for 30 minutes. Use just enough water to cover the fibre. If you have too much, pour some off. In the meantime, prepare your dyes dissolving them in 3/4 glass of hot water. Once the fibre is soaked, pour dyes in, cover the saucepan and heat (but not boil) for about 30 minutes. I had it on 2 on my electric cooker. After 30 minutes he water should be clear, if not you can leave the pot for a bit longer. Pour off water and leave to cool. Wash once with vinegar water then with water only. Squeeze out excess water and leave to dry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Samo farbowanie zrobiłam bardzo podobnie do przepisu podanego ostatnio przez &lt;a href="http://fanaberiawpradze.blogspot.com/"&gt;Basię&lt;/a&gt;. Namoczoną&amp;nbsp; czesankę polałam farbkami, podgrzałam przez pół godziny, wypłukałam w wodzie z octem (o tej samej temperaturze co roztwór farby), potem odstawiłam do wystygnięcia i przepłukałam jeszcze raz, tym razem zwykłą kranówą. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;A w resztkach niebieskiej farbki (bo na czesankę zużyłam tylko odrobinkę)&amp;nbsp; przefarbowałam jeszcze włóczkę (100% BFL, od &lt;a href="http://www.scoutj.com/"&gt;Scout's Swag&lt;/a&gt;).Oryginal, na zdjęciu poniżej, ma sporo białego i delikatnych fioletów. Po farbowaniu jest niebieska z odcieniami fioletu i ciemnej zieleni.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I had some leftover blue dye from dying merino so I tossed in a hank of sock yarn (100% BFL, from &lt;a href="http://www.scoutj.com/"&gt;Scout's Swag&lt;/a&gt; called Lavender mint)&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;and half an hour later I had this:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3014/4554588534_b37a9d3dc2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3014/4554588534_b37a9d3dc2.jpg" width="384" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I know the dyeing is not even but I actually like the under-dyed effect. Should give a nice dimension to my next knitting project.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tak, wiem, wełna nie jest do końca równo pofarbowana, ale szczerze, to nawet mi sie podobają takie niepodfarbowane fragmenty. Wydaje mi się, że przez to kolor nie jest "płaski".

Na bordiurę, która o mało co mnie nie zabiła, zużyłam 3 motki Ice yarns (też z metaliczna nitką), otrzymane jakiś czas temu od &lt;a href="http://kocurkoweconieco.blogspot.com/"&gt;Joasi&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Made with one skein of metallic Luna used for the main body and 3 balls of metallic Ice yarns used for the frill. And I'll tell you one thing: working it in the round was no fun! At one point I had 3 circular needles and over 2600 stitches to go through in each round. Never again... this one almost killed me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Powiem jedno, nigdy nie będę już robić falbanki w okrążeniach. W pewnym momencie miałam w ruchu 3 pary drutów z żyłką i ponad 2600 oczek do przerobienia w każdym okrążeniu! Ma-sa-kra!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Drugi szybki szal to "Purity" Rowan. Wydziergany z jednego motka plus jakieś 20 metrów z drugiego motka Luny (już zwykłej). Szal nie w moim stylu, ale miałam ochotę na coś innego.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Second shawl was quick and easy. It's "Purity" by Rowan. Made with one skein (and approx. 20 meters from the second one) of Luna (normal, not metallic). The shawl is not my style at all but I wanted to make something different than my usual lace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4521465766_dc5beb5e42.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4521465766_dc5beb5e42.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4520832037_2c5854eed5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4520832037_2c5854eed5.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4521468730_abd601991a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4521468730_abd601991a.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Obecnie na drutach kolorowa Noro i "&lt;a href="http://ysolda.com/store/accessories/ishbel/"&gt;Ishbel&lt;/a&gt;".

And to celebrate its launch we are giving away some fantastic goodies. All detail on the blog itself, go have a look around. Make yourself at home and remember to bookmark that address as it will be the best way to keep up to date with Polish crafters selling on ETSY.&amp;nbsp; You can easily find Polish items using the "&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;poletsy&lt;/b&gt;" tag in your search.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kolejną dobrą wiadomością jest to, że ruszył blog PolETSY (Polaków sprzedających na ETSY). Blog ruszył z kopyta a wy możecie nie tylko być na czasie z tym co Polacy prezentują na ETSY. Możecie też wygrać śliczne rzeczy, wykonane ręcznie przez niektórych z naszych utalentowanych rodaków. Wejdźcie na stronkę: &lt;a href="http://www.poletsy.blogspot.com/"&gt;www.poletsy.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; żeby się przekonać. Blog pisany jest i będzie po angielsku, ale zasady rozdawanki są wielu z wam dobrze znane: zostać fanem strony (kliknąć na guziczek "Follow") albo wspomnieć rozdawankę na swoim blogu (jeśli sie go ma), zostawić komentarz pod pierwszym postem na blogu i napisać jaką rzecz chciałoby się otrzymać. No i oczywiście odwiedzać bloga tak często jak tylko się da ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Polskie wytwory na ETSY łatwo wyszukać wpisując w wyszukiwarkę hasło "&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;poletsy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been a lot of knitting that I still have to write about, more silk spinning and felting. So stick around and I'll tell you all about it next time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Z frontu robótkowego też mam wam wiele do pokazania. Było sporo dziergania, przędzenia i filcowania. Ale o tym następnym razem, więc zaglądajcie do mnie regularnie, bo mi łącza kurzem obrosną&amp;nbsp; ;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4367103336761977041-3521411645444846775?l=2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/feeds/3521411645444846775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4367103336761977041&amp;postID=3521411645444846775&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/3521411645444846775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4367103336761977041/posts/default/3521411645444846775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2knitornot2knit.blogspot.com/2010/04/etsy-news.html' title='ETSY news'/><author><name>Jagienka</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07836319577201331555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iELopn447ag/TVGeklkALQI/AAAAAAAAByE/9TTUWrIkeq4/s220/square_
