Hmmm. Where have I been?

Wow, okay so I know time goes quickly and I slacked on entries here, but WOW, almost a year.  I didn't realize it had been that long.  The family members decided not to move.  My wheel is completed and I spun on it all Summer.
I have been doing some blog reading, something I hadn't done before and I learned that I was making blogging too complicated and that is part of the reason it became neglected.  I'm not going to commit to a time frame, a particular topic or photos in every blog.  I do want to share the knowledge I am gaining about fiber arts with others.  I commit to that.  That way I can post from my phone in the middle of nowhere, at the bus stop.  Not having to carve out time to go to the library and make a post, complete with pictures and in depth subject matter.
Here is a picture of my finished wheel though.

I also learned to weave in October.  Carl bought me a ridged heddle loom.  A 15" Cricket.  I did the scarf project that came in the box and I enjoyed the process.  I finished the scarf when I returned from KS and started a new one the next week.  It will be a hound's tooth pattern for my Mom for Christmas.  I should have it finished in time.

I made many Christmas presents this year.  A tiny blanket with a dog's head and a hat for the foster child of my BIL.  A blanket each for my neice and nephew.  Socks and crocheted storm troopers for my buddy Robbie and a blanket for his birthday.  I crocheted a trivet and dish rag for a white elephant too.

The blanket projects and my weaving projects can both be seen on Ravlery, I have kept up with that.  The Star Wars guys aren't there because they only take a couple of hours each.

Happy stitching until next time!
