#the100dayproject

Today is the start of this years 100 Day Project! Krista and I just recently found out about this free worldwide art project designed to help us explore our creativity and would like to invite you to join us on this journey!

From the website (www.the100dayproject.org/):


Ready to get creative?

​Join the global community participating in the 6th annual #The100DayProject.​
#The100DayProject is a free art project that takes place online. Every spring, thousands of people all around the world commit to 100 days of exploring their creativity.
Anyone can join (yes, that means you!). The idea is simple: choose a project, do it every day for 100 days, and share your process on Instagram with the hashtag #The100DayProject.

Just think of all of the possibilities! I will be focusing on fiberarts and spinning but there are so many other possibilities! Fiberarts, writing, drawing, photography.....where would you like to explore?
A member of the A Spinners Study Facebook group used her talent and time to put together and share a couple of graphics and tags for the project for the project to be used on Instagram and Facebook. I think that they are great and plan to use them. 







Please join us as we explore our creativity, and maybe improve our skills in the process. We will be sharing our 100dayproject on Instagram & on Facebook and we Can't wait to see to see what everyone else is doing too!

New Adventures…learning, growing & spreading our wings

One of the things that I love about fiber arts is that there is always something new to try. The new thing can be within something that I already do, like learning a new stitch, or it can be something totally new that still uses yarn (or fiber). Or, it may even be a new way of sharing your fiber journey…like blogging! Starting in April (can you believe it is almost here?!?!?) Krista and I will be starting our week with Tuesday blog posts! Make sure that you stop by and check it out. We have a variety of ideas for topics and are so excited to get started!                                                                                                      -Jenn

Knitting is Coding!

It's true!  The New York Times printed an article all about this notion.   "Elisabetta Matsumoto, an applied mathematician and physicist at the Georgia Institute of Technology.   For Dr. Matsumoto, knitting is more than a handicraft hobby   with health benefits . She is embarking on a five-year project, “What a Tangled Web We Weave,” funded by the National Science Foundation, to investigate the mathematics and mechanics of   “the ancient technology known as knitting.” Dr. Matsumoto’s team likes to contemplate how stitch patterns provide code — more complex code than the 1s and 0s of binary — that creates the program for the elasticity and geometry of knitted fabric. The buzzword is “topological programmable materials,” said postdoc Michael Dimitriyev. He is working on a computer simulation of knitted fabric, inputting yarn properties and stitch topology, and outputting the geometry and elasticity of the real-life finished object. “I’m the killjoy that brings

Stitches United 2019 This year I took a couple of classes at Stitches United in Atlanta.  They were FABulous classes!   Friday was an all day class about multi-directional knitting.  I am hooked!  The concept of this notion is SO logical that it kinda blew my mind.  Why isn't this already a thing?!  The instructor, Myra Wood, taught us how to make fabric by knitting in different directions and THEN how to turn it into a finished project!  It's brilliant. Saturday was spent learning how to make sweaters that fit from Jeane deCoster.  Every time I take a "how-to-fit" class I learn something new.  At this class I learned how to make a schematic from a written-only pattern.  Again, logical but not something that has ever popped into my brain to do!  Plus, she has her own yarn line, designs AND an online product for making patterns that are based on YOUR measurements.   Keep your eyes open for upcoming classes based on things I've learned from
