Cynthia Daniels, Ravelry Goddess from New Mexico, sent me this photo of a sweater she knitted with a skein of Rio de la Plata and my "Earth and Sky" handspun (the slubby yarn at the yoke).

Another gift! Thanks Cynthia,
Knit on!

There are many news yarns available, one exhibit and one festival down and one to go!

Again, I just LOVE it (sarcasm intended!) when people assume that the life of an artist is all-and this is a quote, "play". In my optimistic moments, I assume that they mean that I now work very hard at something I love as opposed to suggesting that there is nothing substantive about the work that I do.

Ironically, how I hear these things has much to do with how rested I am, which is tenuous considering... how much I LOVE my work!













I started experimenting with Cushing's Dyes that I bought from The Bellwether (see top left).
I love, love, love, mixing up a pot o' dye and adding more of the fibers every few minutes as the exhaust to get variations of the color...

The next yarn is from a batt by Amanda at Black Cat Handspun.


My breakfast is close to ready, so I shall close for now-but ... I GOTTA tell you about our Spinning WHEEL RAFFLE at slvfest.com! Crystal refurbished a beautiful, antique, Ashford Spinning Wheel for our festival raffle. You can even buy the tickets online! Go see, go see, go seeeeee !

I want to blog. Really, I do. I simply want to spin and dye more :)

And, I have suddenly found myself knee-deep in a new business! Much better than a new job, that's for certain. I keep giggling at my good fortune. I work at home--with my soaps in the background, too!
