This is the new Louviere pochade box I bought for plein air oil painting (canvas, paint & brushes are mine, not included). This definitely at the top of the list for best online purchases--excellent quality product, good price, and outstanding customer service: January 2005 |

I got this Bosworth Midi spindle in a trade and the
roving from Dad for Christmas. I'm spinning it up and
navajo plying as I go to make socks. I have the socks
started but no pics yet. January 2003 |

I also got a 2" Weave-It for Christmas and it
makes a great project for on the bus. Here are some of
the squares I've made. I'm going to make a 'memory
blanket' from the scraps of my other projects. This
picture was taken just after I started sewing together
the pinks and purple from my niece's sweater (below). I
made a larger square from 16 small ones and have just
started on the colours from my other niece's sweater. January 2003 |

Two opposites :-) The wheel Dad made for me on the left (top pic). A very modern style wheel built specifically for versatility--double or single drive, folds, a dozen ratios, and 2-part flyer assembly for easier bobbin changes. On the right (top pic), a lovely little wheel I got for Christmas. Traditional style double drive, built to do one thing and do it very well. The bottom picture shows some Shetland thel that I've spun up on it. January 2004 |

Australian Polwarth I'm spinning for a cardigan for
Dad. January 2004 |

Sweaters I made for my nieces for Christmas--okay,
they are a bit late :-) The purple one is actually a nice
bright purple but my camera wouldn't
cooperate on the colour today. December 2003 |

My first weaving project. A scarf from some 3-ply
Shetland wool that I spun on my wheel. I'm working on
some mitts to match. Fall 2003 |

Hand-dyed, spun, & knit 'shawl' that I made for
Dad for a small half-circular table he has. Summer 2003 |
 |
The first wool I spun
on the wheel Dad made for me. Cabled yarn (3-2ply)
over-dyed with kool-aid. I love the colour :-) Winter 2002 |
