╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) Yay he's happy!~ Ah I've seen that yarn before Femme. I hope it sells. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
Thank you :). I've not actually seen a spun, plied version that was 100% plastic. Not on Etsy. There were plied versions that were plied with wool or something, basically acting as a core to hold it together. However any more that I make will most likely be single ply.
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) Cool. It's pretty cool that you made that though. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
Yeah. The plying thing was experimental as it was the first time I'd plied. I'd actually like to spin with some animal or plant fibers, just to see how it feels (quite different from plastic I am sure!) but actually spinning is really fun.
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) It sure sounds relaxing for sure. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
*nods* The spindle I have I made, by cutting some disks out of corrugated cardboard and alternating their grain (to add strength), glued them together, and then glued the whole thing onto a dowel about 1' in length (I didn't measure it or anything like that, just guessed), 1/4 of the way from one end.
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) Wow, that is cool. It's amazing that you figured that out on your own. I don't think I would of been able to figure something like that out if I tried to spin. But I sure would love to try to spin, sounds so much fun and relaxing. But knowing my luck, I wouldn't get far with 4 cats. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
Aw... well, I am guessing they would make it difficult, but certainly it could still be worthwhile. *nods*. Some more unorthodox spinners might venture to use the cats' hair to spin with!
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) LMFAO, and it would be a unique look since the kitties left a special touch on it. Hehe. They definatley would be very helpful. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
I'm not even joking about the hair. Hey, we use sheeps' hair, goats' hair, rabbits' hair... why not a cat eh? Heh. Dogs as well, though generally I think the "wet dog" smell lingers for awhile (though I think it can be removed)
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) Really? I never knew people use animals hair to spin with. I know of sheeps wool but never knew goats hair was used before. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
Yes, cashmere is the product of an angora goat... so named because I guess much of it comes from Kashmir. Alpaca is another commonly used, soft and warm fiber. Angora rabbit fur is very fine and so is typically mixed with other fibers such as wool or something.
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) Wow, that's cool. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
The world of fiber art is a fascinating world indeed, as old as civilization and as modern as iphone apps :3.
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) Hehe. I just watched some crochet videos. I might try to do a amigurimi. I do have some yarn in the house so I might just try one. See if I like it and if I can handle crocheting. I am damn good at chains though lol not doubles. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
Amigurumi typically uses single crochet ;). But it took awhile for me to get crochet... I still have a hard time with it, but many find it to be easier than knitting, so it is all just a matter of personal comfort...
|
╔═════════════════════════════════╗ (｡◕‿◕｡) I tried out knitting and I love it. I just need to put time into it for once. I found that I had a easier time knitting than I ever did crocheting. The farthest I got on crocheting is a single chain. I'm still working on getting a double one done. Not going that well though. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝ |
I'm not sure what you mean by double chain?
|
it's when you make a chan then you go over again some call that a double chain BI I just like "chain 16 then sc"
|
That I am familiar with; and I know that UK terminology calls the US "single crochet" a double, slip stitch being a single... just double chain I had not heard.

But I chose to rip out the floss and start with a new project. I just wasn't feeling the whole thing. So right now I'm working on a single piece called Tea for Two. It's a rather cute thing. 2 cups with a smoke like thing. Simple and easy, something I need right now in order to stitch right now or else I'd be doing nothing all day again. »·,´·˙(´·˙¸ ¸˙·,)˙·,´•·˙·,¯´·˙·• •·˙·,¯´·˙·•╭☆╯•·.·´¯`·.·• •·.·´¯`·.·•´`·.(`·.¸ ¸.·´).·´`·» uǝʇʇoƃɹoɟ puoʎǝq sı ɔıƃɐɯ ɟo ǝʌol ǝɥʇ |
Aw, that's nice though that you have something to do now.
In other news, I have my computer back! No data lost (I opened Chrome and all of my tabs opened again, haha), and it looks like it is brand new! I am $140 poorer (a $280 payment but my parents contributed half of that, for which I am very appreciative), but it is a hell of a lot better than the $755 that the warehouse that Apple sent it to would have charged me. |

Yah.
Hoboy... wait. Oh yeah I remember now. I really need to get my license x_o. Biking to work is wearisome. |
I got denied of interview and low luck on jobs because I don't drive
|
That seems ... stupid . You can find transportation if you need to. I am fortunate to have a job that's close, because our transportation system here is lame.
|
*sneaks into the thread*
|
Hey Airina :).
|
How are you femme?
|
I'm all right. My mom is watching The Mentalist. It's a decent show, but I prefer the funnier crime shows.
|
Ahhhhh nice honey.
|
Yeah, haha. In particular I like Psych. My mom also got me into watching Columbo on Netflix.
|
Gaaaaaah I looooove Psych!!!!
|
Somehow it seems to be the most realistic. I've never been a cop so I don't know the inside of it all, but... kind of funny since it is supposed to be silly. Oh I like Medium too. That is actually supposed to be based on an actual person XD.
|
Psych is just so funny!!
|
Yeah, plus Shawn is cute. I don't know about James Roday, but... Shawn is adorable XD.
|
Its so true!!!
