Whew!

With all the bumps and snags of the past couple of weeks, I really had to scramble to get things ready for the studio tour. I thought I was taking the easy way out by concentrating on dyeing yarn, but all that skein winding on my niddy noddy kept me busier than I expected. Still, I got a fair amount done.

I also dyed some spinning fiber, a blend of Polwarth, mohair and silk.

I wanted to get so much more done, but luckily I had about eight pairs of knitted elf slippers that I made in the early autumn. A few pairs of mitt too.

I did dye some silk , but only half of it made it to the studio. I'm now untangling 800 yards of the rest of it. I'm not sure it will be ready even for the second weekend of the studio tour.

I snapped a photo of the yarn display before I left.
