New Changes!

As some of you know, Sat. will be my last day at the Post Office. I am going to miss some things, but definately not others! The last three years have been interesting to say the least and I have learned a lot. I am going to miss the customers, but not how political the job is getting to be! I am going to take the summer to re-focus and will enjoy the next few months spending time with Bob and the kids and may actually get to go to the Sat. morning spinning group, which I could never go to because I was working! I am still going to fill in for the CPO in Shields when they need me, but I am really looking forward to not having the stress that went along with the job!

Here is a pic of the cool knitting tatoo that my friend Bethany has. She came to my class in Richardton and I just had to get a picture of it. She gave me the name of the guy who did it for her. Robert just shock his head when I showed it to him!

Here are some of the ladies who were busy spinning at the Advanced Spinning class that I taught on April 17th at Sacred Heart in Richardon. Students worked with exotic fibers and I unveiled my newest scarf pattern, "Wild Thing Scarf" that showcases the yarn that we spun. I will be posting te pattern on Ravlery soon.

More of the ladies spinning!

Had a great time visiting too!

Tri-Loom Weaving

Thought I would share some picutres of a shawl done on my Tri-Loom. The yarn that I used was commercially spun wool. It took me roughly 10 hours start to finish to get this shawl done. I wanted it to be light and airy - so I didn't use a blucky yarn. The shawl that I have on the loom right now is a mohair/wool blend. I have been having a lot of difficuly bringing the yarn back over to the other side - so it is taking me a lot longer usual. Will try to get some pictures of the new shawl on the loom tomorrow.

I have been talking about starting a blog for a long time and finally just decided that I really needed to get one up. Especially since it sounds like my website won't be up for a while. (We are still working on pictures!) Anyway - this will give all of my BSC Enrichment students a chance to take a little look into what is going on here at the studio during the week and will I will be able to post any updates or additional info for my classes. I look forward to posting some pictures and getting more info up over the weekend. (Still working on those youtube videos for my current toothbrush rug class.) Hopefully they will be ready by Sunday!
