Feeling Sassy!

 Or should I say, sashy......as in all 30 are pressed and ready for the post! Yippee!
(I am way ahead of my deadline for these and that feels wonderful!)
                                                   
                                             Graduation sashes as modeled by my dressform!
 Yup, the stripes go horizontal when using the novelty yarn as weft instead of in the warp. Note to self-- Pretty but  I do like the vertical stripes better.
 I began spinning the Christmas-y roving.  I love working with multicolored roving!  This was only 100 grams-about 3 oz , and will probably be a pair of socks or mitts......
It looks like a Victorian's Christmas!  Since I pulled the roving in half after dyeing both halves the same (all in the folding ) the two singles met often and just made some fun interactions when they were off kilter.  I am pleasantly surprised by this yarn!

  1. The yarn is very pretty -- there's something so fascinating about working with variegated fibers...

    Glad you got the sashes done, what a great feeling!

I need to be able to grow stronger but it isn't going well with walking at all--so a friend loaned me her stationary bike so my legs don...
