Merry Christmas

A peaceful and happy holiday for all of you.

Knitting Large

Ok...fun and fast knit with Debbie Bliss Roma.  No pattern, just what I felt like at the moment.

Christmas Pillow

Ok...I'm in full on fair isle mode.  I finished a scarf a little bit ago and now this....  I enjoyed every minute of the knitting and now am enjoying it in my chair.  The pattern is Fair Isle Round Pillow by Hazel Tindall, knit with Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift. Each side is the reverse of the other.   PS....another scarf is on the needles as well.

Weaving Red

Ok....so another project completed from a bolt of red cloth I made earlier this year.  Love the wrap.

Weaving Pillows

Ok.....so I'm not new to weaving, but I'm new to making pillows with my weaving.  These are made with a black cotton warp and a handspun weft.  The fibre was from Spinning Moon Farm and a little paper included.  They turned out better than imagined.

Spinning Suri

Ok....so I walk into Heritage Spinning and Weaving in Lake Orion, MI thinking..."I just have to pick up my yarn and go"....seriously?  I walked out with this lovely suri alpaca from Fisher Farm...beautiful and soft spin.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you....safe travels as you come together with your family, enjoy each precious moment and of course......I hope you all find a moment to knit, stitch, crochet, weave, or spin.

Visiting the Apples

Ok....so a trip to Michigan in the fall is not complete without visiting the apples....ahhhhhh......

Walloon Lake

Ok...Hemingway summered on Walloon Lake...I can see why.

Mackinaw

Ok....no matter how many times I cross the Mackinaw bridge or just look at it....I'm amazed.  Stunning and strong.  This is where Lake Huron meets Lake Michigan.

Just had to pay a visit to Wienerlicious...done.

Lake Charlevoix

Ok....just this.

Driving the Leelanau Penninsula

Ok....so just a lovely day hitting all the little towns I haven't visited in years.

Finally heading home on the ferry....and a bit of knitting.

Alabama Stitching

Ok....so, as my friend Jan would say....there is another squirrel in my house....  I have for a long time done embroidery work, but more recently have been drawn to the Alabama Chanin model for clothing, stitching and rustic simplicity.  So...off I go...  What fun!!  This is a small sampler I purchased to play a bit.  Needed to learn a little different style from the usual embroidery work I have done.
