This has been a week filled with all the little steps of preparation that go into working with fiber, a week of getting my fiber ducks in a row. I'm doing some mini batts, like those above which I made for my spinning friends. I hope they like the colors, my eye likes to see a lot of color, as you can tell.
Next, I dyed up some Wenslydale locks in my Vintage Velvet Flowers Palette, I want to hog them all for myself!!!
Ahhh, heavenly clouds of fluffy clean white alpaca, I could just dive in!
I added the finishing touches to my PixieDust fingerless gloves by crocheting a picot edge in the pink angora I dyed up just for this project, they make my hands happy!
So, that's a peek at my studio doings for the week, a lot of little stepping stones go into completing a project and I have enjoyed every bit of the process.
Have a great weekend! Blessings Friends!

ReplyDeleteLove the edging you put on the gloves.
Saw the new cocoons you put in your shop. I like the green.

ReplyDeleteI want those Wenslydale locks. They look heavenly! Your mini-batts are beautiful too. What am I saying, I am always loving what you create. The finishing touches on your mitts really put the pow in them. They turned out great.

ReplyDeleteI can picture a mound of those colorful locks in a basket as a center piece for a table.
