What a long month of July. No rain, intense heat, and lots of spinning for the Tour de Fleece. Thankfully this year we got air conditioning! Yippy, so I managed to enjoy fiber in cool comfort instead of fighting with it sticking to me in sloppy humidity.
I present to you my collage of goodies that I worked on this past month.
Spinning wasn’t the only thing I did this past month. I also managed to knit up a lovely cowl/ear warmer out of my very last ball of grey alpaca yarn. All but 1 of my greys have sold and I’m keeping this cowl for myself in memory of them. Thank you George, Gus and CoHo for the lovely warmth!
For those of you interested in this pattern.
