Welcome back Fiber Arts Friday Fans!
Let’s see here what have I been up to? Well last weekend I set up the new skirting table and worked through all the Lollypop fleeces. (Lollypop is the name of the Humane Society Farm). Later that day I found out a very important piece of information about myself and wool. I’m allergic to lanoline! Yup, I did ok skirting until I itched my cheek and my face totally broke out in hives. It has been a week now and the hives are just about gone. That will be the last time I skirt wool, I’ll stick with alpaca from now on.
My alpaca shawl is coming along nicely I’m currently on pattern row 25 out of 30. I’m so close to being finished! Unfortunately I’ve hit a crochet wall and I’m rather bored of it so I started another small project that I can switch back and forth with to keep my mind going.
Here’s the start of the new project. It’s is a basket weave scarf out of a Peruvian Wool and Tencel blend. Very soft and super shinny. Since most of my fiber festivals and vendor fairs are in the fall I figure I got to get a move on some inventory and this seemed like a good start.
