Back to Blog for 2013

Well, yes, it has been way too long since I have found the time and energy to post on the blog.  Sad how time can slip by so quickly.  Let's see, since June 2012 there has been the planning of my daughter's wedding, her wedding (out of state) in September, my son moved out to Colorado Springs, I went back to upstate NY in October to enjoy time with extended family, my daughter and her new husband learned they would need to move for his job (sad), helped with the packing, holidays came and went and my son left mid January to head back to Col Sp after being home a couple months over the holiday (miss him so much!).  2013 brings the wedding of my oldest son (Boston area).  So, lot's going on.

But, we will try to get back on track a bit.

Since the first of the year I have been churning out a few projects.  It's been fun to work on some commercial fibers and some hand spun.  My time seems to be moderately filled with creating new fiber blends, designing new hand spun yarns for future projects and keeping the home studio busy dyeing, carding and processing fleece.

So, here are some pictures of a few simple projects completed so far this year:

Malabrigo Scarf and Mitts - so soft and cozy!

Hiking socks for my son in Col Springs!

Hats for school children.  Our groups supplied 20 hats for an entire classroom of kids in need. 

Made for my future daughter in law with yarn she brought back from Peru.

Gloves and scarf from super soft baby alpaca yarn.
