Hanging out, looking good. Kepple brings chic, rustic style to living rooms, dining rooms, foyers and halls, playrooms and bedrooms, too. Our inspiration was a seventy-year-old pendant light salvaged from a Manhattan school gymnasium. We reproduced its sturdy chain and the cool-looking cage that covers the bulb, widened the body, and added a retro black and white chevron fabric-covered cord and a high-gloss finish.
We did it! We are very nearly a full-time MCN (Modern Cloth Nappy) family. I can hear your thoughts. “But the extra washing load! ..But the messy hands! ..But the costs!” One month ago I had the exact same thoughts. So in my true nature, I researched and researched some more. I hoarded articles on my Read the full article…
George Arthur Buttrick, the legendary Presbyterian preacher of the 20th century, insisted that all preaching is venue specific. Indeed it is. The day I preached the Southern Baptist Convention annual sermon in downtown San Antonio in June 1988, recalls a painfully specific venue.
The SBC had endured nine years of controversy. That summer the convention stood at the threshold of the 10th contested election in the fundamentalist takeover.
Someone had suggested to the program committee the previous year that I preach the annual convention sermon. For the worse, I had been one of the “non-aligned” in the 1980s, and I presumed that was why I was asked.
From one perspective the sermon was an act of naivete. The message embraced several verses of Ephesians that called for civility. Forty years old and still believing that 80 percent of Southern Baptists might come together, I hoped to sound a note of reconciliation.
What I did not know then was the Nietzschean will-to-power of the fundamentalists. Having known Baptists of a more genteel character, I did not credit the juggernaut its actual motivation.
A friend of mine asked, “Gregory, are you the last one to believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny?” I did indeed think that most Baptists could still come together. I was wrong, that idea was wrong and it was too late.
From another perspective the sermon was a realistic proclamation. That convention may be recalled as the “animal-name convention.” The combatants were calling one another skunks, opossums and other such Christian epithets.
The dailies of the South had a field day with the internecine fight in the largest Protestant denomination. The rhetoric undermined the Baptist witness to such an extent that it has never recovered.
The fundamentalists tattooed the denomination with a belligerence that the general public has never forgotten.
My sermon had a pragmatic intention of calming the rhetoric, cooling the tempers and appealing for the same kind of civility that occurs in most corporate board meetings.
Paradoxically, some on both sides thought I was castigating their side or the other side. The principals in the battle saw it as a pusillanimous act of appeasement aimed at both sides.
The cynics thought I was posturing. Some thought it was a great sermon, and others thought it was a whey-faced, lily-livered, spineless, Neville Chamberlain-style, time-serving act of pusillanimous rhetoric.
Looking in life’s rear-view-mirror 19 years later, I see both the naivete and the realism of the message. I now wish I had joined with the next generation older than I who saw clearly the threat of fundamentalism.
Kenneth Chaffin, Cecil Sherman, Herbert Reynolds, Winfred Moore, Jimmy Allen, Russell Dilday, Keith Parks and others saw the truth early, clearly and inerrantly, to use the word a different way.
The clarity with which they saw the destructive trajectory of fundamentalism stamps them as prophets of the first order.
I would trade that sermon quickly for an opportunity to take back time and stand with them. I looked for a middle that was not there. They are heroes of Baptist history.

The 28-year-old reality TV star, who's expecting a baby girl with Rob Kardashian in November, stopped by BFF Amber Rose'sLoveline With Amber Rose podcast on Play.It this week to dish on her pregnancy and why she feels "more educated" on motherhood the second time around.
When talk turned to breastfeeding -- specifically, Shanna Moakler's highly publicized comments calling the practice "incestual" and "gross," saying that she views her breasts as "sexual" -- Chyna admitted that she felt "obligated, in a sense" to breastfeed her child.
"Maybe [it's] my motherly instinct," she mused. "Just reading and knowing the pros of breastfeeding for your baby, and just recently I found out some new, cool stuff about not cutting the cord and sending your placenta, you can get these pills to take them after to make you and the baby healthy. If you notice dogs and cats, when they have their babies, they eat the placenta. You're like, 'No, don't do that!' But they do, it's a healthy thing. ... I feel like with my second baby, I'm more educated than the first one."
Chyna welcomed her first child, a boy named King, with former fiance Tyga in October 2012. A few months later, in February 2013, Rose welcomed her first child, a son named Sebastian, with ex-husband Wiz Khalifa.
"When I was pregnant, I wasn't horny like that," Rose confessed on Loveline. "I just felt big and it was like, my baby's in there! It was weird."
Chyna stopped short of revealing her own feelings on sex during pregnancy, but she did get candid about her feelings on sex toys. (For what it's worth, Rose previously said that Chyna is "always horny all the time," in an episode of The Amber Rose Show on VH1.)
"Absolutely!" she declared, when asked whether she uses them. "I don't think Rob likes it too much, though ... Rob doesn't like it! ... I gotta kinda sneak it sometimes. I wait till he leaves."
Earlier this week, Chyna and her baby bump came out in full force to support Rose during her Dancing With the Stars debut.
"She feels amazing!" Rose said of her pal. "And she doesn’t feel her pregnancy at all ... which is so weird. ... It's just, like, her stomach's getting bigger and it's like a regular day for her."

Thank you for stopping in to SingingWolf Dyeworks. My name is Diane and I'm so happy you're here! I would love to share with you a little bit about my shop.
I became immediately hooked upon dyeing my first skein of yarn, and began to devote as much time as possible to learning everything I could. And I still do spend hours upon hours reading books, doing online research, watching scores of tutorials, experimenting on my own. All while holding down a demanding full time job - not easy. It wasn't long before I wanted - no, needed - to share my creations with fellow knitters, crocheters, yarn crafters: You. And this is how SingingWolf Dyeworks happened :-)
Long before dyeing my own yarn, I was an indie dyed yarn customer, still am and always will be. Like you, I admire and appreciate the unique characteristics of these special yarns and become giddy with anticipation when I receive a package from a long standing favorite dyer or a new dyer! Crafting an item from a gorgeous hand dyed yarn is an experience like no other...except maybe unwrapping a gift. I aim to give you that kind of experience.
About the process: All dyeing is joyfully carried by me me using professional acid dyes and citric acid. Some colorways are hand painted and speckled while others are kettle dyed although some incorporate both techniques. the kettle and the yarn seem to do most of the work when it comes to creating the many hues, patterns, and shading that make up a colorway - it really is magical! This magic takes place in my cozy home studio which is clean, smoke-free, and cat friendly. I mention the cat because those with allergies should know that His Royal Felineness prowls the premises.
After the yarn is carefully lifted out of the dye bath, it is thoroughly hand washed with Eucalan to remove any excess dye. Even with this precaution, it is still possible for certain colors to run or bleed slightly during the first washing or two of a finished item. Although this will not diminish the color of your yarn, washing in cold water with just a bit of mild soap or wool wash will minimize any bleeding that might occur.
Currently I dye onto mostly fingering weight sock and DK superwash bases. A worsted weight merino superwash and fine fingering weight base have been added while the Peruvian highland and non-superwash bases have been phased out. As our business grows, we may offer additional bases. Please let me know if there's a particular base you'd like us to carry in the future.
Everything listed in the shop is ready to ship. Due to time constraints, I can no longer accept pre-orders. If you would like to purchase a larger quantity of a semi-repeatable colorway than what is listed, please contact me and I will make a note to inform you as soon as a new batch is listed for sale.
A word about semi-repeatable colorways: Although the same dye bases and methods are generally used, they are frequently adjusted and "tweaked". This and other variables that are inherent of hand dyeing can make every new batch (also skeins within the same batch) different from the other.
Hi! I am a native Marylander transplanted in coastal NC with my mate Ben and cat Garfy. I dyed my first skein of yarn several years ago and have been joyfully immersed ever since! Crochet, knitting & spinning are squeezed in here and there ;-)
Yes, we offer winding for a $1.00 fee per skein. The yarn can be pulled from the center or the outside. This option appears just below the title and item price in each listing.
Most of the time. If a skein is wound for dyeing, it is always re-skeined so the yarn dries thoroughly. Occasionally, skeins will become tangled in the dye bath and those are re-skeined as well. Spending hours trying to untangle yarn that you've paid good money for is unacceptable so we do our best to spare you this hassle.
Joining knots are inevitable in commercially spun yarns, but encountering them as you work a project can be frustrating. We don't like knots either, so rest assured that we check for them throughout the dyeing process. If knots are discovered and cannot be easily untied, the offending skein will either a) not be listed for sale, or b) offered at a reduced price with clear explanation. Now & then, a well disguised knot may escape our eagle eyes. If you find more than you deem acceptable (even if it's only one), please contact us and we'll gladly work out a solution with you.
If time allows, we can dye a new batch as long as the colorway is semi-repeatable. Please send a convo so we can discuss your needs. Keep in mind that although the same dyes are used, each new batch will always look different from the ones before. Because each skein is unique there may be noticeable differences within the same batch. It may take up to several weeks to process your order depending on the amount you need.
Sorry but we do not. However, if there are specific colors or combinations you'd like to see in the shop, we will always consider your suggestions!
Hand washing in cold water and drying flat is the very best way to care for your finished items. However, with a few precautions you can safely machine wash items made with superwash yarns. Zip your items into a mesh bag, set the cycle to gentle cold & add a few drops of mild detergent or wool wash. This extra TLC will keep colors bright longer, reduce pilling, and prevent your items from being pulled out of shape.
We use lightweight envelopes because they keep shipping costs economical (for you and us), and they are mailbox friendly. The exceptions are wound yarn cakes, international orders and larger orders. These are shipped in boxes and we use recycled materials whenever possible. If you would prefer your order to be shipped in a box instead of an envelope, please let us know.
This is because a shipping fee is included on each listing, but please don't worry. We charge shipping only for the first item you purchase and will promptly refund the overage on additional items.
Because wool is a natural fiber, slubs are normal. If we spot a slub, we give the yarn on either side a firm tug to be sure the slub has not created a weak spot. On the rare occasion that the yarn pulls apart, we will not offer that skein for sale. Sometimes plant debris caught in sheeps' wool will end up getting spun into the yarn. These fibers can be carefully picked out but if we spot them during the dyeing process, we will remove them.
