Happy Birthday to Bear, posing

Happy Birthday to Bear, posing at right with a large bag of Keeshond/wool fiber. He's 12 today. (The extra nose and feet belong to Cookie.)

I did get nearly another bobbin's worth of Shetland spun up this weekend. I also went stash diving and found about a pound of red-brown alpaca top, a pound of picked Rambouillet fleece and a half-pound of silk top that I think I'll send out to be carded together. It should combine to a pale cinnamon color. Yum.

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
