Finally, nearly 2 years after the baby was born, I'm getting back to having too many projects in motion again!  I can't ever sit still for long, and once I get going, I'm hard to stop.

I've been spinning on the Chris yarn still, and I'm making good progress on that.  I'm still undecided as to what it's going to be once it's completed, but it's nice taking the time to spin it in a relaxing way and just meditate on life.  

Another pair of socks are on the needles, and I'm not quite sure what to think about them. The yarn on the skein looks really cool, but knitted up, I'm not too sure about it.  Combining the yarn with the pattern that I'm using makes them look a lot like dragon feet!  I'm not sure if I love them or hate them…  What do you think?

 

My newest obsession is Nuno felt, or laminated felt.  I've seen examples for years at the fiber fest, but just before this years GVHG Hemlock Fiber Fest, I started REALLY thinking about them again.  I made a point to seek them out and really take a close look this time, and I am definitely on another tangent!

I've got enough silk for 18 scarves and then a yard or so to do whatever with, and I've been dyeing the silk and wool to match for the past few weekends.  I've got my olive oil soap all shredded, dissolved and ready to go, and a bamboo blind to use for rolling.  I had planned to start actually putting them together last weekend, but got intimidated and put it off.  I've read a bit more, and have been mentally preparing myself, and I think this weekend I'm finally going to give it a go! 

Here are some of the bits I've got ready to felt with, although the colors don't show up so hot in this pic.  I've got a celadon set for a monochromatic scarf, a purple silk with variegated lavender and purple wool, a hot pink that is going to have white flowers on it, and a gold with muted blue, green and rose colors to go on it.  I've got LOTS more too, as I've dyed all 18 scarf pieces already!  I can't wait to complete one and show you the finished result!  I'm still terrified by it though!
