But now … NOW … I have something. I have been working on something super duper top secret for the past week or so, and I will be dropping hints throughout until details are finalized and I know I won’t get fired from my day job or hunted like the scurvy dog I am for posting it on the internet for every Tom, Dick and Harry to read. But until then … I present:
FINISHED OBJECTS
and other random wooly goodness
This past weekend, I did my first felting project. I forgot to take a photo of it before I started felting (I have issues remembering to photograph various stages of projects … it’s part of my charm), but here it is in the first stage of felting.
Ooooh the Thrills! The Chills!And here it is on my lovely hat model, Gwyneth.
Say hello, Gwyneth.
Still planning on needle-felting a little something-something onto this, but that will have to wait until I get a couple more finished objects completely finished (almost doesn’t count in this case, as they are gifts).
Also spent some time dyeing my latest hand-spun effort.
Mmmm, my favorite. Purple Kool-Aid Yarn Soup.
The color is a little washed out, but it’s actually a lovely and bright purple.
I love the smell of hot, wet Kool-Aid-y Wool in the morning.
To be plied together with my other hand-spun effort, dyed a maroon color. But that’s another blog post.
Everything else I have that I would like to share – will be shared in later postings. Gotta save my material, you know?
In un-related to knitting news, Dear and I went to a Polo match this weekend – my first! I felt so British! Cheerio, pip pip old chap! We had a great time, even though it was hotter than Hell (I’m going to start saying hotter than Houston. It’s more accurate).
Awww, so cute!
And the horsies looked like they were having some fun.
Pass the Pimm's Cup, please.
Hope everyone who cares is celebrating World Wide Knit in Public Week (June 12 – 19)! I got together at Memorial City Mall on Sunday to scare the Muggles … what did you do?
