Finished winding off the last of the fiber I spun for #tourdefleece2026, finally! Plied, washed, snapped, dried, measured and balled, I have 1445.5 yards of three-ply targhee/targhee/merino. Really looking forward to knitting with it! #handspun #handspinning #spinsky

The non-science-words tl;dr: the COVID virus uses histamine receptors to infect your cells, and the spike protein of the virus temporarily freaks out an important part of your immune system and makes it too busy screaming about the virus to fight the virus as effectively.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

I spun every day during #tourdefleece! 3lb, 2.4oz total, mostly targhee, some merino, just a few ounces of American rambouillet. It'll be plied in September.

I've spun two pounds of Targhee in thirteen days. My goal has been to learn a more regular, not-hair-fine single: I went from the bright stuff to the dark. I've improved! I've run out of everything I dyed for #TourdeFleece, , so either I dye more or stop here. (More is soaking, to become purple.)

A palm-sized electric spinning wheel bobbin, wound with variegated spun fiber in bright greens. There are many thick places and bits that have too much or too little twist.

A bobbin with dark green fiber on it. This fiber is much more regular and evenly-spun.

I got the antique spinning wheel I found on FB Marketplace last December up and running! Just in time for Tour de Fleece! I'm really excited. It's such a sweet machine. I don't know how old it is--over a century at the very least--but it's like it *wants* to spin.

I absolutely didn't expect them to replace or refund a two-year-old packet of seeds--however a reply that in any way apologized for my wasted money, effort and grow-closet space would have been only polite. They didn't send me any of that, just a cold denial of refund (which I hadn't requested).

I have in the past recommended Select Seeds as a company, because of their catalogue; I rescind that recommendation. In 2024 I bought cosmos seeds from them, and then was too busy with vegetables and my health to start them. I started them this year, and one variety is mis-packaged lettuce.

This post is funny, but it just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the history of feminine labor and craft. Spinsters dismantled the Spinning Jenny by hand. Suffragettes used acid and bombs to attack politicians. Militant textile workers went on strike by the tens of thousands.

In 1997 I found this dress at a Goodwill in Cottonwood, Arizona. It cost six dollars. I wore it and a peacock-feather mask for Halloween, then I cut off the sleeves and the top of the bodice, and proceeded to wear it at least twice a month until graduating high school in 2001.

A dark green 1980's taffeta prom dress. It has very puffy sleeves that go to the elbow, and a skirt that is nearly to the ankles in the back, and a few inches higher in the front.

The same green dress, slightly from the side, showing off the very puffy-shouldered sleeves.
