I have actually been productive. First is the batts I made from the silk/wool that I got in a swap from Carole at http://www.thesheepshedstudio.com/ I navajo plied it and have 150 yards of 8 wpi so far. Still have half of the batts I carded up to go. Then there's the red fiber I dyed from Sheep Shed. I navajo plied this as well and have 200 yards of a nice fingering weight yarn that eventually will be a shawl. Then there's the green cotswold locks I carded up and plan to ply with tiny locks to make Aidan a monster hat. Hmmmm....need more spindles???? Well....
Knitting,spinning yarn,dyeing wool,quilting,machine embroidery,sewing...this is what a nurse does on her days off to destress!

Wishing you a wonderful day and a wonderful year!
The batts look so shimmery. I'm in dyeing heaven, figuring out all kinds of things!
Thank you Heidi! I had a great birthday! The spindles spin like a dream and my daughters took me to dinner at Joe's! We had so much fun, and dinner was yummy!
Glad your having a blast dyeing!
