I received some beautiful fiber I met on Ravelry and I just received it back from being processed from Fantasy Fiber, it turned out wonderful the brown shows up real good in one phone but looks more tan in the other one. It is Shetland Fleece and Alpaca if I remember correctly. I'm going to spin the Shetland for a sweater. I have more I just didn't take a picture of all of them.

This past weekend I had some friends over to sit out on the deck and spin and it was so nice to have them over we had a great time.

I'm off in the corner spinning like crazy. What fun!!!!

So far I have been spinning some real nice fiber for a sweater I want to make and I'm spinning it on my E-Spinner it sure goes much faster.

Here is what I have spun so far

I went to OFFF and had a wonderful time I finally meet the Sock Lady Spins http://sockladyspins.blogspot.com Lynne that made my day she is so nice I can't wait to see her next year.
I also bought a Hansen ESpinner which I love it is so easy to use. I bought some wonderful fiber and had a great time with my hubby and friends.

Scarf up date here is a picture of it but it looks sloppy so I'm tearing it out and starting over maybe next time it will look better so I'm happy with it.

A shawl I'm trying to finish and it is giving me a headache.

Well I guess there is a first for every thing, this shawl is my first knitted shawl. I made it for my niece Tina and from her phone call she was not only surprised when she received it but loved the shawl.

These past couple months have been busy. We rebuilt out deck then this past weekend we went to the Pow Wow and I took our little one Sammy with us and he enjoyed it and everyone loved him.

I just finished my sweater and I'm very happy with it, it was very interesting to wash the fiber, flick it, spin it then knit it, which thank God for Jacqueline Fee yahoo group , Jackie was awesome helping me and from her book "The Sweater Workshop" and my friend Carol who said, I could do it.

I'm so happy with it and will really love it this coming winter.

I did not get a doffer with the drum carder so I took the sharpner out of one set of knives we have, it works great to lift up the fibers off of the drum carder.

Then I needed something to take the fiber off with---in the book "Teach Your Self Visually Handspinning" by Judith MacKenzie McCuin, she shows how she uses a dowel with plastic attached to it for the slicker and it works wonderful my DH made one for me right away. Great items and easy to get.

It has been some time since I have posted. I've been doing a lot of spinning and I'm now knitting a sweater with the fiber I have spun.

The fun part is I have bought a new wheel "Louet Victoria" it is real light weight and easy to carry. Next I bought a Drum Carder which I just love

My New Kromski Harp 24" loom I LOVE IT!!!

Well we put gas in to the house and bought a new stove and on the way to get it we found a field of buffalo which was fun to see.

The next thing that made my day was getting the quilt back that I had made last summer. Bobbie from the "Quilted Hill" quilted it for me and boy does she do a fabulous job. The next quilt I'm working on will also be quilted by Bobbie but I've been working on it for about 2 +years so I really need to finish appliqueing it so I can get it done.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year we stayed home we were sort of snowed in and I loved it. We have not had this much snow since 1968 after a few weeks I hated to see it leave.

We loved to see the deer come around and they ate what apples that were left, we loved them.

Well I love snow and for the last few days we have received some 5" so far and more to come in the next day or two.

Every one who reads my blog check out the pictures of the patterns I bought, then check out the web site, you can not go wrong with it there are so many different patterns to choose from plus extras, NO Affiliation just a happy customer and Laura is a doll to deal with.

These are found under Jojoland in the patterns section.

I can't wait to get started on them.

It has been awhile since I did these quilts, but they were done out of shirts from my DH Aunts husbands shirts after he passed away, it was a way for her to remember him.

He had tons of Pendleton shirts, there are two that is not shown but they pretty much looks like the one on the chair. I asked his Aunt to please take pictures and send them to me, they sure look different on her furniture than in my sewing room. She was pleased.

Well after the wonderful knitting class I have been working on a pair of socks, her is a picture of them so far. Using 4 colors on the sock is different that is for sure but they will be nice once I'm done.
