Fall is finally here!

        I love the fall. What a beautiful bright orange cluster of berries.

                           The large bush is just loaded with color.

On the rughooking front, I decided to hook up a wool crow. I dyed the wool in a variety of blacks, deep blues, greys, and a smidge of burgundy. He is listed at http://www.giffordables.etsy.com/ , just in time for the fall season.

 I have been washing and dyeing alot of fleece, from a wide range of breeds. I just finished dyeing, and carding up these sparkly wool batts. I dyed masham longwool in a variety of red, wine, and deep burgundy. I topped them off with some sparkly Ruby red angelina.  I based these batts on my favorite Enchanted Forest in the Wizard of Oz .-  Dorothy's Enchanted Apples. Will hit the shop soon.

 More on the dyeing front is some 2-ply light fingering wt. yarn that I spun, and dyed.....

Took a pinch of this, and dab of that, and I came up with this Electric Boogaloo, Chartreuse shade. I'm going to start a pair of socks with this, and will post pic's soon.

                   Well... it's a rainy day here, and I'm just about done with the work for the day.

               Time to make a nice hot cuppa tea, and maybe cast-on for a pair of Electric green socks.

              Hope you all take a little time to enjoy the day!

Storm ends and Spinning Continues

It is early morning and the snow has tapered off. Just a few flurries coming down.



I always judge the snowfall by how deep it sits, on the deck chair arm. Enough snow for now and it can melt anytime. It is suppose to stay cold, this week and into next. I'm afraid the snow will be around for a while.

The spinning and dyeing continue.





Today my choice is to spin, some of my kettle dyed wool in cheerful Spring colors.


Spring can not be too far away can it?
