So much fiber, so little time: A sigh of relief

A sigh of relief

Comer got very sick a week ago Thursday - so sick, in fact, that I thought I was going to lose her. So I've spent a lot of time to'ing and fro'ing between home and the barn to hand-feed and hand-walk her. Fortunately, she is back to normal now, leaving only a large vet bill behind and not the equally large haul-away-dead-horse bill.

Otherwise, I've been noodling away at another pair of socks for me and avoiding the shawl-in-progress because it's been too hot. But I must force myself to finish the shawl soon ...

And this has to be the best sheep picture I've seen in a while.

Great Zeus -- no more sick animals in your house! Glad she's better.

What a pretty horse! I'm so glad she got better.

Thanks for the reminder about the IgNobel awards!

I'm so glad Comer is better....and that the weather is cooler!

Patterns

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.
