Spring is Near

Things are beginning to look like Spring might be around the corner here. Bits of green and a few brave flowers poking their heads up in the leaves left from the Fall. New projects on the loom and more to come.

Snow Days and Socks and Birds







Another snow...20" on the ground here. Unheard of for where I live. I might as well knit....I have started the second sock for my valentine's day pair of socks for my valentine. I may just finish with all this snow...what else is a girl to do. except weave...

Socks, Hawks and Felt






What do any of these have in common? Well, two are fiber related and all were done here in Wedington Woods. Two were done with my trusted cohort in fiber Fibertwin. I could not have done it without her, either the sock or the felting. How grand to have friends to jump into fiber fun with. She basically has showed me over the last 10 days how to actually knit and complete a sock. No more half finished cuffs lying around my stash. they are out and pairs are going to be in! As for the felting, that was a blast, too. New pathways in fiber. Get it wet and make it felt instead of whoops I messed up. And the hawk, he is a youngster that lives in the woods around here. I just could not resist a shot or two. Amazed I was able to get them.
