Today

I just got home from a good dye session, 5 hours, 15 skeins and 10 ounces of roving. Also washed a bit of fleece. Of course I forgot to take pictures. I always remind myself on my way out the door and then promptly forget. I have been getting ready for my next two shows. There is always a goal, a number, of skeins I want to have for any show. This "goal" is always very high and I work my butt off to reach it, and sometimes fall short. Tomorrow I will dye more!

I love spinning and dyeing yarn, that's why I still have a smile on my face after a long afternoon in a hot, steamy kitchen.

My next shows:

Hudson Christmas Tour of Homes and Craft Fair
November 17th
Hudson, Wisconsin

No Coast Craft-o-Rama
November 30 & December 1
Minneapolis, Minnesota

My Leafy Mitten

Here are a couple of photos. This mitten has been fun to do. I still need to seam the top, knit the thumb and block it. OH and then make it's mate!

The pattern is Arnhhild AH 105.m Leafy Mitten. I knit it using Frog Tree Alpaca, a total of 6 colors. I purchased all of my supplies at The Yarnery.
