I am in love with Pinterest, I spend time there every day. It’s my favorite way to take a break from work, looking at all of the beautiful inspiring things and gathering all of the helpful tutorials and how-tos.
I just searched Spinning, fiber, yarn and there are pages of how-tos on making and dyeing yarn. There is a drum carder powered by a bicycle:
Which led me to the gorgeous textile blog Ecologicalartist.
Another thing I love about Pinterest is all of the connections, finding new things, remembering old things, following what my friends are obsessing about (go look and see how many pins I have on embroidery), what friends are knitting or dreaming about knitting, looking at inspiring things or to just rest my mind from a busy day.
I collect ideas for spinning, knitting and stitching projects. There are recipes I’m sure I’m going to make. I have a folder for all of the houses I pretend to live in and one for things that I think are cozy.
I’m jillianmoreno on Pinterest and I’ve pinned 8,829 things.
Are you on Pinterest? How do you use it?

I USED to be on Pinterest, but then read something about copyrights and decided to bow out. Don’t have the time to waste anyway, what with homeschooling my son, keeping up with indoor and outdoor chores, running a little business on the side, spinning and knitting when I can, and keeping up with others’ and my own blogs…..
I am on Pinterest and absolutely love it. I use it to curate ideas for Projects, to keep boards of gift ideas for friends and family, as inspiration for my blog. For about 3 years now, I been getting together with 5 friends every month for Pinterest parties. We team up in groups of 2 and each team, respectively, is responsible for a craft, a beverage and a meal. We rotate each month and the only requirement is that the craft,beverage or meal has to be found on Pinterest.
