Bits and Pieces

We're getting a bit of winter, crisp and cold this morning.  The sun is deceiving-so bright and warm coming in through the living room window and still the temp is a balmy -10 outside.

I finished my shawl!  From this-

To this-

It took me almost a year, but it's done.  Next project?? :)

Do you do Pinterest?  I don't, but a friend does and she found these great hearts to make for Valentine's at http://www.bluevelvetchair.blogspot.com/2012/01/forest-glam-diy-valentines-day.html .  We have these red bushes all over around here, we call them red Dogwood.  Anyways, here's a picture of what I worked on last night for the Valentine's dinner at the church.

  I think I'll use these hearts for decoration all year. I like the way they turned out.

Enough show and tell. 

I hope your days are getting longer and the promise of spring has brought it's enthusiasm to your home.

Yarn Design

I've been trying to use up my stored fiber as it will soon be shearing time again and I have such backlog.  I started carding some white mohair today.

I had some blue mohair that I had carded and dyed. 

Here's the  yarn it made.  Kinda pretty, I think.

Then I thought, wouldn't it be pretty to put the blue and the white mohair together.

There's still a bit of debris in it.  And here's the finished yarn.

I think that I like this better than the plain blue.  I'll call it clouds in a blue sky. :)
