The shaping is all messed up, and you can see the ripply-ness of the stockinette selvedge on the left.

I found that my 3/4" chisel and metal files worked much better than sandpaper for smoothing and shaping the cement.
This was my Xmas gift to my sister Claire! It's crocheted in Bernat's Wool Blend (80% acrylic, 20% wool).
The background is cross-over stitch, and the pattern is a cabling technique I've developed that "pinches" the work to create the cables in the same way knitted cables are made. The side designs are front post dc and bobbles.
Bamboo handles.
This is my own design and my first attempt at making a purse. I'm very happy with it!

I discovered that it was much easier for me to just use my hands (sort of like clay). I wasn't going for a machine-smooth look, and using my hands I could layer the mixture to create a weathered texture.
When this is blanket is finished, it will measure approximately 1 x 1 meter. I still have a long way to go...
There are two drawbacks to this arrangement -
1. The TV is right in front of us - aweful tempting to turn it on.
2. Oh look, the furnace - Isn't it ugly?
I was able to get a little spinning done yesterday evening. I really like
the way the Shetland/mohair roving is spinning up. Hard to tell until after
it is plied and washed, but I think it's going to be softer than the
rambouillet/mohair. The colors are rich and I think, if there's enough,
this will make a really nice vest.
Busy day again yesterday, unpacking Dad and getting his stuff settled. It
was a wonderful day, warm and sunny with a breeze in the morning. The wind
picked up in the afternoon but was never unpleasant. Today is supposed to
be just as beautiful, and I'm hoping to get some bunny chores done. There's
a buck in the barn that is sadly overdue for shearing! I try not to let
that happen; it's not good for the rabbit or for the wonderful fiber that
they produce for them to go overdue. But this past month has been so wild
with moving chores!
I also may try to breed two more does, my lovely Amber and the gorgeous Woolybuns Crystal. Woolybuns Cheshire has a date with and amazing buck at Perfect Spot Farm; can't wait to see how that breeding turns out!
I have been wanting to do some sort of banner that can go across my table at art shows. People always come up to my table at shows and think that my piece are tiles (which is so strange to me). I guess because they are coated in polyurethane??? Anyway, I thought it was about time to announce (lol) what exactly it is that I do. :)
