THE bag

Felted Skull Bag
So, it's not pink. I did do a different skull one, though, that is pink! Will post photos of it soon. Not sure if this one will be for sale or not...

I apologize...

Dear Aunt C,
I apologize for the disturbing photos in the last post. I assure you that I have not crossed to the dark side.
Here is what I just made.
Look, no skulls. :)

Embracing that OTHER side...

Skull Creations

Sculpted these little guys to decorate a felted bag I will be knitting soon.
I've decided that since I'm living in a houseful of boys, that instead of fighting it, I may as well join the whole skull and crossbones club.
(But my skull bag will be PINK)

Spinning Fever

Sock Yarn Process
I dyed 4 ounces of roving (Corriedale Cross). Spun singles, which I 2 plied. And the finished, hopefully self-striping, sock yarn!

Absent (minded) Blogger

I'm here. And apparently you are as well. I'm not sure why. I've been very bad (baaa'd) when it comes to updating this. I've been obsessed with spinning. and knitting. I have no exciting news. Nothing. But I'll post a bunch of photos just to reward you for coming!

First on the bobbin is some bamboo that I'm spinning. The next two handspuns are merino/silk blends. Ahhhh..... fiberholicism is grand.

This felted bag was a lot of fun. I used some really crappy yarn I had found at a thrift store, and it felted up beautifully!!

The next little pouch is knit from alpaca.

Socks.... my passion.

Alpaca lace scarf. Angora blend hat and scarf.

Bamboo!! Lovely stuff!
