Happy Summer! (FINALLY)

I'll keep this short as I'm short on sleep while raising yet another bottle baby.  This one was brought to me as a squeak toy found by our dog Hope.  Thankfully Hope is very gentle and the baby bunny is thriving!  I have to stress - NEVER TRY TO RAISE A WILD RABBIT UNLESS THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION - their chances are slim to none of living.  I know!  This is not my first try.

 

Dye Along - Friday July 8th - 10am-2pm(or so) - $5 to use my dyes

This is not a class, but beginners are welcome!  Come, watch, learn, try!  It can be intimidating, but easier with friends to help and an outside dye area to avoid costly accidents with the carpet, sink, hardwood floor, dog, etc.  There is still room!  Drop me a line or just drop in to watch and wait for a spot to open up when and if you're ready.  10% off all dyable fiber.

 

Felt Along - Friday July 22nd 10am-2pm(or so) - Free

Once again, not a class.  Just an opportunity to use someone else's hot water, soap, towels, and large table.  Beginners welcome to see how it's done by the experts, and not so experts.  I have a few spots open on the tables, or just drop in and watch different techniques.  10% off all feltable fiber.

 

Spin-In - Saturday July 30th 12-2pm(or so) - refreshments served.

 

Quilt show week - With the exception of Wednesday, I'll be around most of the week.  Just give me a call so I can turn on the lights and secure any roaming animals.

 

The Pipster (new baby bunny) and crew hope to see ewe's soon!

Get Spun was Awesome

So, a few days late is better than never, right?

Last Saturday Symeon North came out to play with fiber with us as Wild 'N Wooly Farms. She showed us some wonderful techniques like how to spin locks into the yarn as we go, and how to do thick and thin yarns. The techniques are outlined in the book "Get Spun" released by Interweave in early May 2010. You can get your own copy at Sheep2Shawl.net. Here were some of the photo highlights from the afternoon!

Symeon is spinning locks into her yarn here, she is using a Ladybug wheel, not her usual, but she said it worked fairly well, not getting caught too much on the locks.


Here is everyone spinning together, Symeon is over in the right showing us how to spin in a thick and thin style. This looks so easy when she does it, and she is a great teacher.

These are all the products and projects from the book, unfortunately, many of the items that Symeon spent her time and energy on were cut from the book. So check them out here!

Lynn did up these great cakes, the looked as great as the tasted...mmmmm
