Nature Socks

Hello Everyone!

These nature socks are a newly completed project. The ribbing is handspun from Fleece Artist Roving http://www.fleeceartist.com/ and the rest is knit from Lucy Neatby http://www.tradewindknits.com/ merino yarn. I created it especially for Molly at Celticswans. She makes amazing knitting needles and other needle art supplies. http://www.celticswan.com/

CRAPS!

So the story of my spinning wheel isn't a happy one. When it was transported from Alberta to Nova Scotia in January it was damaged.

AND now months later it has decided to have a new issue. Of course when you really want to spin and work on my Master Spinners Level 2 workbook, it has to crap out on me. Now I have to wait weeks for my part to come from New Zealand.

What is a multifunctionalist artist to do? Well I should be working on a table runner and sending some of my writing away to be published. No, instead I dream about spinning.

Kitty versus the Llama

Here I am ready to take the hair off of the llama! It was great fun that included: a spitting llama, a sock, and a grumpy alpaca. I can't wait to spin up something warm.

Two New Projects

Here are two new finished projects. The first is a tall ship displayed in the window of The Loop in Halifax. The owner of The Loop and I fashioned it to celebrate that the Tall Ships have come to Halifax. If you are in the area of Barrington Street make sure to check it out.

The second is my handspun handdyed handwoven jacket inspired by Chanel. I wore it in a fashion show at Fibre Week 2007.

New Mystery Project. See details next week!

I am busy preparing a new mystery project that I think will make me my millions. MAhahahhaha..... Hint. Check out my uterine blog! It has something to do with it........ And for those with the metal balls on your 4 by 4s ........ Us women will speak!.......

In other news
My art show at the Mudroom Halifax went well.

Master Spinner Level One

This is the warp from my project for Master Spinner Level One. It is made up of 100% handspun and hand dyed yarn and took over 9 months to prepare! Once I finish weaving it I will try to add a picture of the finished woven item!

Darwin's Gator Sweater

Darwin's Gator Sweater

Here is Darwin's new Gator Sweater! While wearing it, he feels powerful and sways his tail like a true gator. Beware! He is grumpy and likes to take off fingers. Pictures of his new sheep sweater will be on later once it gets green out!
