Things Forgotten & Things Needed

When I posted about SAFF, I forgot to mention one little item. Robin wove each of us some slender silk belts to put on our wheels, so we have something to recognize the wheel in a crowd. Shown below is an image of my little belt. :) It's now wrapped around the handle part of my wheel, twice.


Instead of knitting, last night I decided to spin up some of this beautiful roving (left image below). This is the same roving I used to make my little fingerless mittens. I decided a matching hat and scarf are a must for me. Check out the brilliant reds in this colorway and the bright blues that pop out. The picture just does not do the colors in this fiber justice. :( Unfortunately, the roving was purchased second hand, so I am not sure who painted the roving, but it is lovely stuff.

And on the knitting front, since I can't knit on my purse/bag, I switched over to my shawl. I'm now working on the edge and have pinned it out a bit so you can see the edging. It's slowly coming along, and it's definitely taking a long time to knit.


Update on Robin -- well, she's moved into her new house and unpacking in between working and taking classes. Our guild has a fiber swap in December and the current plan is for her to pop up to visit me and participate in the swap. Yeah! Her final schedule even works out for her. :)

Alright, that's it for me. Happy fibering!
