This and that...........

I finally got the fringe twisted on these 3 scarves recently woven - they have a hand-dyed silk warp and tencel wefts. The center one is listed in my etsy shop for sale - the other two will eventually make it in the shop, if anyone has an interest in one of them please contact me......takes me a while to get the photography work done to get them listed in the shop.

This felting landscape kit is available in my other etsy shop.  I grabbed a kit before I went to my spinning group yesterday, grabbed my blending board and started making rolags using all eight colorways. I've got 5 other colorways of felting landscape kits available for sale, bet they would be fun to make rolags out of on the blending board too.

 Here are a few of the rolags........I've got a total of one pound ready to spin, can't wait to see what the resulting handspun yarn looks like.

 It started out as a nice walk on the inlet beach looking for seashells and seaglass until that danged log showed up........

 .......Yikies - it moved - better back up fast.......


 .....whoa, that thing is alive......
 
.....better watch it carefully and definitely not turn my back on it........such are the perils in the life of a beach dog......

  1. LOL, that's right, Bailey the Golden Retriever doesn't like water. Silly boy, doesn't he know those are not dog eating sticks? Just wet. :-)

    1. This is our second golden (water dogs) that is afraid of the water. He'll get his legs wet but that's it.....maybe that's a good thing on the ocean beaches

    1. If it had opened it's mouth and there were teeth Bailey might not have ever gone down on that beach again!

  3. What a gorgeous scarf! And even your wool "worms" are so pretty! One day I will drag my felting machine from out of the box and play with such items as roving...one day!

    1. Oh, I like 'worms' better - much better name for them than rolags. I bought the felting attachment for my Bernina a few years ago - haven't used it yet.......one of these days....

  4. Bailey is so funny! Twill was like that too. Did not like to swim in spite of being part Golden and part Lab. She had no problem rolling in the stinky stuff though! Loving the color in the scarves. They look so luxurious!
