Day 282
Today I finally wrote a post on my "main" blog!
It has been over 2 months since my last post and it ended up being one of the longest posts!

Day 281
I am amazed at how the scarf softened up after washing and ironing (it was like a placemat when it came off the loom).
❤Joanne
Day 279
So many pins!
Blocking another scarf/shawlette.
The pattern is Henslowe - a wonderful, easy pattern, that only has about 5 rows of purl, the rest are knit, with some yarn overs and knit 2 togethers, plus the shawl is reversible. I think it will be a very practical scarf for the winter.

Day 277
Fall fertilizing.
We have been enjoying incredibly warm fall weather these past few weeks.

Day 273
I couldn't resist another beautiful sunset!
I love the dark shapes of the trees against the sky.

Day 271
Finished weaving samples (the large one is 9"x23").
I think weaving is going to be an enjoyable new hobby!
❤Joanne
Day 268
Cleaning my new toy!
One of the students in my FMQ class gave me her old weaving loom - so kind!
I realize now that there is a lot to learn about weaving, and it is always fun to learn new things!

Day 267
A good day for over dyeing.
The fibre started out as this (I bought a bundle of mill end fibres for a good price, but some just needed a change).
❤Joanne
Day 265
Over 500m of merino and silk, 2 ply yarn (4 days of spinning!), 100g skein - so not quite the lace weight I had hoped for.
I have no plans for this yarn, it was just a joy to spin the fibre.
❤Joanne
Day 264
The cat has been visiting us for two years and today was the first time he has every taken a nap here.
It is Thanksgiving weekend and there seems to be lots of activity at his place, so maybe he just needed a break.
❤Joanne
Day 263
Spinning silken thread - well really a silk and merino blend, just really fine. This is the first ply of what I am hoping will be a 2 ply lace weight yarn.
Spinning is quite an addictive hobby - it is very relaxing.
❤Joanne
Day 259
Every thing is dry and back together after the little flood!
Everything happens for a reason, and the storage room really needed a good clear out, so it is better than ever.
❤Joanne
Day 257
Drying out after a little flood - the washing machine leaked into the basement.
Luckily no big damage, and it is a good time to have a clean out!
❤Joanne
Day 256
So many geese coming in to land, I was pleased to see that they hadn't all flown south as we had some snow today!
❤Joanne
Day 254
My husband bought a telescope, and had a curious little 'helper' when he put it together.
❤Joanne
BTW - the class went really well yesterday!
