Signal boosting -- anyone want a kitten?
An exceedingly cute kitten, Dean, is looking for a home. He is a former stray that was rescued as part of Project Cat by eilonwy and he has a fairly wide potential delivery area. More cute kitty photos may be found here

EQ2 Goals
Loredena, Sisca, and Acsis all hit 80 in EQ2 a few weeks ago. I already had 3 crafters (out of 6!) at 80, but I've never before had an adventurer hit max level in an MMO. Even in WoW, I quit for the 2nd time at 67/70. So, since I'm not taking up raiding any time soon, I need goals :p

Dreamwidth
I am not relocating my journal, but a few of those I read have done so, so I have created an account at Dreamwidth. I am Loredena there. If you have an account there as well, please post here and let me know. I am screening comments. -
Beginning to Weave
Two summers ago, at the first Fiber Festival in Crystal Lake, I took a work shop in weaving on one of those tiny little square looms.

How to migrate from LJ to Wordpress
Since LJ was sold to a Russian company, there are periodically rumors that it is going to bite the dust. Should those rumors look imminent, one option is to migrate to a Wordpress blog. Wordpress has come out with a tool for doing so that looks promising. keyword-214, keyword-39, keyword-215, keyword-78Spinning Merino
After I finished the previous batts I was still in the mood for fast spinning, so last weekend I spun up some Merino roving I had from Spunky Eclectic, in the colorway Mudslide. Merino is a very soft fiber that really is best served by being spun thick and lofty anyway. Again, being from a fiber club, this happened to be a colorway I wasn't ( Read more... )Spinning rambling
After taking a silk spinning class, which I wasn't very good at, I started practicing. Since I was focused on silk, which wants to be spun thin and high twist (well, it just looks better that way!) my 'default' yarn size got rather thin over time. Since I'm not exactly the fastest spinner around, it could take me an exceedingly long time to work ( Read more... )
