Felted Vessel


My spinning guild holds a class day every year the end of October. This year I took a felted Vessel class with one of our guild members Sandoval McNair. It was a labor intensive class - lots of rubbing - LOL but worth the effort. Instead of a vessel I'm going to turn mine into a purse.

Sockies !!!!!

I decided I was going to make two of my nieces and my son some socks from yarn that I spun myself. My one niece attends Rowan University in NJ and their colors are yellow and brown - that's a little hard to get to look right. My son I'm doing a light camo type yarn and my other niece is attending Boston University - that's the easy one - LOL Here's some pics of the yarn I did for my son and my niece

Been WAAYYYYY Too Long !

Since I've posted anything to this blog. I've been dyeing like a demon and have decided to move my stuff from ravelry to etsy to get more exposure. So far it's been a good move. I've also experimented with cold dyeing/steaming ALA The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook. This method has been far more productive for me and I'm in awe every time I rinse out a new roving at the colors I get. Here's some of the ones I've done today:


These are some of the first ones I did:
