Frolics in Fiber


This week I played with colors, dyed a little roving, felted some cat toy balls, dyed/painted some silk scarves. (Oh and attended a craft show, second one of the month is next Sat). Enjoy the pictures.

Multiple Projects, How Many Do You Have?








It seems that at any given time I always have many things planned, started, going good, or waiting (im)patiently to be finished. I'm beginning to think this is a common trait of crafters, do you agree?

So far on this project, I dyed some roving a dark emerald green with a few lighter spots, and a second batch a chartruese green. From that I spun one skein from the dark, two skeins with one ply dark and one light and then some all light. While this is drying to set the twist, I am spinning the rest of the roving that you see in the pictures, I plan to knit a couple of hats, in a huge pattern, and then full or shrink them down to wearable size. I also have an earflap hat almost knitted, a nuno felted scarf to add finishing touches to and a couple of felt purses that are awaiting handles and closures.
Tell me about your works in progress.
