Wheeee!
Had a fab time at Wonderwool on the weekend and bought a lovely little knitters loom from P&M Woolcraft so I can do some portable weaving in the near future once its all set up - which it almost is! Once I get time I'll be warping up asap! I also purchased some fab yarn (which will shortly be used on my loom) from snowberry lime which appealed to me as it was a) yarn, b) sparkly and c) has small beads and gemstones spun into it. It doesn't get much better than that! Next up will be stitching my labels onto my scarves before a final check that they're done and I'll submit them tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

Phew!
Well, time does go exceptionally fast doesn't it? April already! So what have I been up to? Well, I've been doing some experimental dyeing for silk scarves - with a technique based on shibori. Very challenging - but lots of fun too. So much so - that I've ordered more dye and more material for dyeing already! The new dyes are more concentrated - so when it comes to using them the colours may be more vivid. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get them done too. Next up - finishing off the hand stitching required on the side of my first lot of scarves. I'm hopingn they will be finished in time to be exhibited. *crosses fingers*
