there are some customers that hold a special place in your day....
here is our dear "franny", "grandma", "mama", "crazy old lady" on her way home.....humane society bag and a six pack for her son in law. She is delightful and such a hoot!
On the knitting end....slowly plugging away at the star topped hat and I spun on sunday....but the pictures came out blurry...will try again tomorrow for less coffee shakiness....
It was a sad day in Dublin.
No more crowing from the barn.....we are roosterless......
Anyone want chicken soup tonight.....just kidding....
I went to the NH Sheep and Wool on Sunday with my friend, Miss Miriam and Miss Boo. We had a delightful time (and made many purchases....look at my flickr pics).....
I had not thought about Cheviot Sheep until meeting this wonderful lady....I could have taken her home. She climbed right up on the fence and snuggled with anyone who wanted to give her a second look...she also was a kisser.....omg!!!!!!
I now have a field of flowers for my birdie to fly over....
I got a band and it goes all the way around my arm. It took marcel at Mom's Tattoo just a little over an hour to complete it
the first 24 hours it was sore, but this morning the redness was gone and it only feels slightly bruised, I guess there is a lot to be said about eating good food and healing easily :), I am really thrilled with it!
this last week I did some dyeing...
I am just loving this bunch of mohair locks...
we have become sooooo busy at the store that I haven't had much time to knit or play :(
tonight I am going out with 2 of my employees...mom's tattoo....book store...dinner......
updates tomorrow
I started some knitting
First is the baby sweater for an employee...there is a bit of handspun and the rest is naturally dyed merino yarn (some dyed from plants she gave me)....I chose a 6 month size that is a ballet wrap around (she is a dance instructor also).....I have to do it secretly since she is working here 3 days a week....
the bottom pair of socks is from misc. handspun and each will have the same yarns...just in different orders...
and the top sock is from a bit of my pastel spring two ply that I had left over....I thought I had more fingering weight yarn to keep going on these socks (odds and ends)....but alas....it is all a light sockweight...so those will stay on the needles til I get to some more spinning....
the dye pot is set up....cormo and local romney in the works...
