		<title>New fibers, new colors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Between our recent photo-taking difficulties and just general laziness, I have gotten terribly behind in the posting of new fibers for the shop. There are two dye days ready to post, and another just waiting for photos (we&#8217;ll look at that one later).
I&#8217;m still working on beefing up my selection of semisolids, with an eye [...]]]></description>

		<title>First fiber show</title>

		<title>The spinning queue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the side effects of me having more time on my hands (or even the suggestion that I might have more time on my hands, whether or not it materializes), is a sudden proliferation of project ideas that all want to be Done! Right now!
I have lists and lists of patterns and knitting and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pulling back to move forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve ripped out knitting. I seem to have ironed out the kinks in my design process to the point where ripping back has become pretty uncommon. Or maybe it just means that I&#8217;m not doing enough new things. Either way, yesterday I was thinking about how long it&#8217;s been [...]]]></description>

		<title>A change of plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, the best designs are like a mystery novel; all twists and turns and unexpected conclusions. It seems that the striped shawl is destined to be one of these (at least the mystery part; the design part is yet to be seen).
You&#8217;ll remember that I started out thinking that it was going to be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too many favorites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week has been all about new fibers. I&#8217;ve just placed my biggest order ever (32 lbs!) of fiber for show dyeing, and I&#8217;ll most likely be adding another 18 lbs over the next couple of weeks.
I mentioned the other day that I had received some beautiful Targhee in the mail for testing. I always [...]]]></description>

		<title>Second chances</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some projects take months to plan and prepare before knitting. Some take years to get around to, even though they&#8217;re good ideas. And then sometimes, a project jumps up out of nowhere and demands to be knit.
I finished spinning the yellow-brown fiber last week, and set the twist in the yarn this weekend. It&#8217;s been [...]]]></description>

		<title>New projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The nice thing about finishing a bunch of sweaters is that there is suddenly room on my needles for new projects. First up on the list is the re-make of the lace ribs vest, this time as a long-sleeved version.

I love the color. It&#8217;s not showing up quite right in the photo, but it&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Semisolids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, I was having a hard time getting back into the swing of dyeing after the holidays. I have a bunch of ideas simmering on the back burner, but none of them was quite ready to go. And then, Linda asked if I ever dyed semisolids to coordinate with my more variegated colors.
That seemed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unexpected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I somehow thought that my first week of unemployment would be quiet, a chance to work on projects, do some reading, and generally decompress from the crunch of finishing off my fellowship.
Not quite.
So far in January, I have submitted one manuscript, been asked to author another, been sent a third to proof and review (has [...]]]></description>
