I am such a lazy girl. I spend so much time on the Internet but never update these pages.
I the past month I have been to two fiber festivals. Rhinebeck was great. This was the second time I attended and it was just as good this time as last year. I bought a little fiber, some yarn and a new Bosworth Spindle.
Last weekend the husband and I went to the 1st annual NE fiber Festival . Talking to some of the vendors there, they were pleased with the turnout and encouraged that the festival will live on.
On the needles:
Still working on the cotton throw rug for the kitchen. I haven't picked this up for awhile.
Bella mittens for dd Liz.
Forest canopy Shawl. Really, there are two of these going, one from my hand spun and one from a pretty Malabrigo that I bought at Purl in Tiverton, Ma.
On the Wheel
I'm spinning a beautiful black Romney that I bought from a gal at Rhinebeck . It's a lovely color and I think it will become my first true 3 ply yarn. In have some real pretty hand dyed rovings/tops from SE that I want to spin but I really want to finish the Romney first.
Hand Work
I have a couple of smocking projects coming up. This weekend my smocking group is hosting a weekend of smocking with Barbara Meager. We will be making an eyeglass case smocked with overdyed floss and a smocked insert for for a lovely handbag. I'm really looking forward to the classes and time with good friends.
