Does it get any better?
I certainly don't think so!Wow, the Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene this weekend was just fab.
The fiber, fiber and fiber!
I didn't get into trying spinning wheels because I ended up ordering a new pair of glasses, but I did touch all the fleece I could.
All these places that I had seen online were there. I bought small amounts of everything I wanted to try, so that if I wanted more of it, I could order from the dealers online or by phone.
It was more exciting than I thought it was gonna be, and interestingly enough, I found the baa-ing of sheep do be quite calming. I take that as a further sign...as if I need any!
Rosewood Drop Spindle
It occured to me that I might need something small and light to work with silk.I spun up this single last night to try it out. So pretty.

Shiney Taupe Ribbon Tunic
This got designed while I was knitting it. I used some eyelets and ribbing under the bust/at the waist for detail and shaping. This stuff was like knitting with dragonfly wings! Exciting and dangerous for these fast hands.

Another Kind of Spinning Wheel
Man, this was SO MUCH FUN!I really wanted to go on the ferris wheel, was a little scared, but before I downed any junk food, we all got on.
We we flying! It was wonderful.
Then came the cotton candy and now I'm flying on a sugar high that is due to end any moment now...
Thud!!
Okay, time for bed. Someone pull me off the computer.

The Vest I Finished Yesterday..
...and wore today.I didn't have anyone to take a picture, and I wanted to show it on, so here is my weird collage. It's handpainted bulky cotton from Over the Rainbow Yarns. Designed it as I went and found just the right stoneware buttons for it on Saturday.
I am on a mission to finish projects right now.
