Scarlet's Afghan

Each contributor put their own spin on each square and results were stunning!

Knitters, Crocheters, Spinners Make Care Squares!

Sadly our friend Scarlet lost her son, Jesse Lewis on 12/14/2012.  Soundview Knitting Guild, Orange Arts and Crafts Guild, Facebook friends around the world and our local fiber artists and farmers made Care Squares to be assembled into an Afghan full of love and support.

After the storm..

Our curious alpacas came out in the path to see what the Blizzard had left behind!

Blizzard 2013

It took 3 hours to dig to the animals barn.  What a sight to see all of the animals peaking out of the barn!

Tour De Fleece Fiber Candy!!!

Tour De Fleece has brightened my kitchen with all kinds of Fiber Candy!  It really is too good to eat but is perfect for enjoying as an eye feast!  Tour De Fleece has given me the chance to practice skills I learned at Camp Pluckyfluff and look at the following posts to see my pleasant results!! 

Batt Sharing Madness!!!

Batt sharing madness.  Pull together a group of friends share a batt, spin some yarn and walla.  You have a creation that speaks of all of the fun!  This single is going to be made into a special rememberance of our first "Batt Sharing Day".  Notice all of the add-ons:  lace, sequins locks, even has some hidden dyed rooster feathers!!  Thanks Pam for an awesome day!!

Simply done!

Love white alpace from my flock.  Add some mohair locks and you have a delicious yarn!  This is art from the heart!!

Three Way Yarn!

Loved the colorways on this handspun/hand dyed yarn.  Want to knit something with the three textures into one beautiful piece!  In the middle picture note the large coils added when being plied.  See how the color changes when plied with purple silk!!

Batts to Spin and Share!!

Great time with friends at Dream Come True Farm for our Batt Exchange.  Ashly randomly picked my blue batt.  Can't wait to see the yarn!!  I spun the peachy batt filled with silk, sheep locks, romney and alpaca. Then plied the peachy with a varigated mohair commercial yarn.  Can't wait to knit up this soft and colorful creation!  Colors remind me of the sweetness of summer....

Swirl Alpaca!

Two yummy spun alpaca yarns!  Top view was core spun and then plied.  Bottom view was lightly core spun to show the beauty of the alpaca fiber!  Wish you could feel the lightness and softness of these beautiful alpaca yarns!
