One of Demetrios' rugs in the Marketplace. Photographs simply do not do the rug justice.
Sunrise over Lake Geneva.
10 month old French/English mix bunny. Isn't he just adorable? Yes, we were plucking him for spinning.
And here he is, sitting in my lap while I was spinning. I wish I could have taken him home, but I don't think my critters would be happy with the new addition.
Kaye Collins wearing her alpaca rasta hat that she made for Halloween. The curls were courtesy of a black suri alpaca.
Batts to Hats: Team Batts in the Belfry. Stetson spinning, Sheila knitting a gauge swatch. I was waiting for Stetson to finish the next bobbin.
Batts to Hats: Team Batts in the Belfry. We won Technical Excellence, which is a scary scary thought since the edge was unraveling, seams were stretched, and ends were only partially woven in.
Winning Hat! We were co-winners of the People's Choice award.
