As promised, here is a picture of the Yarn Wench batts that I am spinning:
This is a combination of naturally colored alpaca, soysilk, merino, mohair, carbonized bamboo, and other wool dyed naturally in logwood and pomegranate. Very different colors for me! I'm still trying to figure out the best way to spin this. So far, "thin" is not working well.
Also as promised, here is the fabric for the next quilt:
The fabric on the far right (with the swirls) is the border fabric; the rest are the strips ready to be sewn into blocks. It more teal in natural light. I am trying to come up with a name for this quilt. So far, "Run and Teal That", "Teal Me Why", and "Teal Me" are possibilities.
I continue to make slow progress with the Reflection Shawl. It's my first knitted lace shawl so I'm trying not to make too many mistakes!
And finally, this is not a WIP yet, but take a look at the latest installment of the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin' Sock Club (behind the spoiler picture):
The color of the yarn has generated lots of comments, pro and con, in the Ravelry forums. Personally, I like it, but not for a knitted item. I think it will make a perfect warp for a woven creation! Neither of the patterns appeal to me, mostly because they are anklets. I learned with the IDJ Cascade Anklets that I just don't like knitting them!
