Red Eliina Shawl

Every day

Every day I come home to a ball of yarn placed gently on the dogs bed, by the cat. I wonder what she's trying to tell me.

September dyeing

Superwash BFL

I have veggies!

Cut finger buddies

Latte art

I'm special

The newly oiled wheel

Still needs two parts that I'll have to make myself. There is a wooden spacer missing, and a nylon threaded plug that attaches the bobbin to the flyer.

Can you identify this wheel?

Chullo hat progress

The beginning: andean chullo hat

Winter is coming - no use being in denial.

And my new favorite hot drink is:

16oz hot water
1/2 tsp orange flavored Crystal Light
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 T creamer (powdered)

New felted bag drying

mSpinner and battery

All done!

Ravenblack says, "took nearly to 3:30 but they are done! they look pretty too. thanks guys!"

Cabbage borsch for canning

We cut these babies out of the ground 30 seconds before butchering and canning into soup. This may end up being an all day event.

It's plum time again

The plum trees are dropping their plums again. We've never pruned them, so there is no ability to just pick them and eat them. I usually just shake the tree, and then dodge them as they fall - and then promptly explode when they hit the ground.

No worries, they taste just as good. And - I mostly can jam or plum sauce from them.

Spinning in the park

Interesting results

In this picture, the original color is the gray alpaca/merino superwash. The left green/blue is the same gray yarn dyed with Country Classics mountain aqua. The right black yarn, is the original gray, dyed with Country Classics grasshopper green - not what I expected at all

Angela's apron???

Not sure I can call this an Angelas apron any longer. The only thing so far that I have not modified from the pattern is the cast on of 108 stitches.
