this is the story of our life at "Rosevale on the Palouse Prairie" in eastern Washington State, and my love affair with all things fiber/fabric. 'BeanQueen' you might ask, well in my previous life I was the curator of the Phaseolus Germplasm Collection (beans native to the western hemisphere) in the United States. My lovely #2 sister gifted me with my 'autre nom'.

a couple of photos of a bit of crafts I've been able to do
Here is the beginning of a shawlette from my own handspun - it's the Age of Brass & Steam Kerchief pattern - I intend to add more rows to use as much of my yarn as I am able. The yarn is 2-ply spun from SW merino (colorway 'Blue Velvet' from "Dog Lover's Yarn" by Susan Zivec) during the 2009 & 2010 Tour de Fleece runs on my Golding spindle. And here are balls of singles spun on my Jenkins Turkish Delight Spindle. It's 'Sunspot' colorway of merino from Freckle Face Fibers. This is about half of the roving that I have - working on the other half, slowly, but surely.
