Snowed this week

Monday was a great day. I stayed inside and KNIT ALL DAY. Wow. I can't tell you when the last time was that that happened. Got lots done but none that I can show you, Not finished yet and more importantly no camera with me. I'm working on a felted purse pattern in 2 sizes.It has nifty shaping supplied by a fold. Also working on a scarf pattern. Part of it will felt and part not. I'll show both of these to you next week.

Need to dye more roving. More lucious colors. The blue faced leister is so great to spin. What a lovely fiber. I want to hug those big sheepies. Although I'm sure that in the natural they are much different than clean and carded. Sheep are nice to hug if they are friendly sheep like those at the Harveyville Project. Looking forward to going back up there next week. Hug those sheep.

Animals on parade

Animals on parade, that is sugar cookie animals on parade. They are a part of my Christmas baking tradition. This year I made them for 4 very special children. Children who are most loved by their Great grandparents in Hutchinson.



The lovely color on the cookies is an egg yolk and food coloring "paint" that I brush on and then bake. The texture is interesting to eat. Kind of like eating a shinny cloud.

I've thought about making the cookie with lime juice and chili for a totally different but wow flavor. They would have a lovely pink color.


About knitting with the roving, The scarf is done. The feel of the scarf is great but you must be gentle as you knit. More later...
