Fall Morning

The last of the flowers in the garden the leaves preparing to fall and the spiders hanging on for dear life.

I enjoy these quite fall mornings.

Happy Knitting, Trish

This drum carder is really fun. I made two more batts. I really need to make one for me to spin up!!! I love mixing colors, this is making me very happy. I think that I might need more colors!

I also got the baby quilt quilted. Now I just need to do the binding!!!

Happy Knitting, Trish

This Is what I am up to today!!!

Having fun like always!

I rented a drum carder and am playing with multi color and multi fiber batts!!! Isn't it pretty!

Still playing with color with my wheel making multi colored self striping yarns!

And last but not least a finished quilt top for a baby quilt!!!

Thanks so much Helen for coming to help me today!

Have fun playing everyone, Trish

Back from Camping!!!

Boy I am so glad that we stayed in a yurt. It was a blustery couple of days at the beach, but we were warm and toasty inside with a heater and electricity!!! I have never camped with suck niceties before. We made sure we went to the beach and rode our bikes when it wasn't raining, but boy we were glad for the shelter when the wind was blowing and the rain was coming down. We actually got a movie from Red Box for last night when the rain was coming down hard and we were tired of playing cards!!! Not our normal style for camping but we have never camped in October and this was our first time in a yurt.

We had some visitors at our yurt daily!

The boys thought it was great that the baby raccoons liked to wrestle just like they do!

And I spun some yarn while I was there and made a cute baby hat. Yes I brought my wheel! I new it was going to rain and I am having way to much fun with all that fiber.

Happy Knitting, Trish

What comes from play!

This is what I came up with! What do you think? 120 yards of DK Merino love!!! I am having a lot of fun spinning, maybe to much. We are going to the coast today, to go yurt camping and I am seriously thinking I might have to bring my wheel!!!

Happy Knitting, Trish

Colors!

What colors should I play with today???????

Happy Day, Trish

To much fun

I am really having way to much fun spinning!!! I am still getting lots of knitting done just not finished. I started the hubby's annual sweater. It is knitting really fast and I will have it done some time during the next two weeks. I haven't show you because I just don't like to take pictures of half finished projects if I can help it. Especially the back of a sweater that really needs to be blocked! When it is done I will make him model it! Anyway back to the spinning, I bought a ton of fiber with my good friend Shelby the other day and I am having so much fun playing with it.

This is what I made yesterday!!!

Happy Knitting & Spinning, Trish
