Wanna go for a walk in the forest?

This is what I do for relaxation after a long day at work yesterday. Yes, I am working this weekend. I am working on saving up for fiber event in October. Hee...hee...

The green batts are called Rain Forest. I thought of colors in the forest when I drum carded them. The other batts are Coral Red. They are now at my etsy shop.

Red Delicious First bobbins

I have been very productive these past two days and it make me feel good. Last night I spun Red Delicious, 100% Corriedale, which I hand-dyed it for myself. It was very pleasing to see the gradual color changes from pink to red-orange and to deep red. I cant't wait to see how it will look once I ply them together

The other night after a long day at work, I came home and managed to get two bobbins of Lemon Blue single. This is from the 3 oz. fiber batts I drum carded last week.

I thought of putting them up at my etsy store but I changed my mind. I got sometime this morning and plied them together. It's on the niddy-noddy now and I will set the twist tonight. More photos of it this weekend.

Trekking Socks in Coma

My socks project is in coma. Two Brittany size 1 are broken. It's been in this critical stage since I came back from Alaska. Finally I heard from Brittany company that they will send me the replacements. I am hoping it won't be too long before I forget where I left off.

I am seriously thinking about going back to using circular needles to knit socks.

Came up for air

Finally, I found some free time today to do this.



They are now at Fiber Monster etsy shop.

Since Lucky the dog and Kitty the cat are not allowed in my studio, Kitty was perfectly find in her now "resting" spot. Old clementines box. She is very easy to please.

Woo hoo. My Etsy is up!!!

Finally, I post some hand carded fiber at my Etsy store.
