A Finished Weaving..

...I had lots of leftovers on the bobins and plyed them all together. Great lot of colours. This was going to be my weft yarn. for the warp I blended a bright blue with a darker green to get an almost teal so spun this for my warp. Very happy result and will go on sale in the New Year.

So, in a couple of weeks..

..I will be at Nagambie Lakes Community Market on the Saturday, Sep 5th, and a new, for me, Castlemaine Artists Market on the Sunday, Sept 6th.
So I have been busy spinning, and working on the knitting machine, and the knitter's loom.
Need to get more cardigans and jumpers done as well as beanies and scarves.
Sunday is Father's Day, so good for those last minute handmade gifts. Below is a selection of items ready to go. More on the way.

Nagambie Lakes Community Market..

..is on again this Saturday. It will all be held in the park in front of the Lake beside the motel.
I have some new yarns which at present are listed on my etsy shop

But come and touch the yarns in person.
Following a very successful Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show I have limited stock but will be working hard to bring up the levels. Finishing off a new Adult machine knit jumper at the moment.

 

 



Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show

...here I come. Will be in the Osborne building as part of the North East Yarns. Yarns, garments, accessories, wool tops, felt batts, etc.

Oh gosh...

..I know I have been neglectful. But my daughter and granddaughter had been her for 2 months and I have been very time poor. They have now found a new home and I hope things will be better. As a mother you never stop worrying.
Anyway I have managed to do the markets and continue making stuff.
Next weekend is the Queen's birthday long weekend so I will be at the Echuca Steam Rally on the Saturday and Sunday in the Indoor shed Market.
Please introduce yourself if you are visiting that weekend.
