WIP – Tour de NY

Hi everyone I’m back!  What a trip up to the Adirondack Mountains I had.  Of course it’s Tour de Fleece right now so I brought my wheel along with me.  Since it sat in the passenger’s seat for the trip I found myself talking to it and finally gave it a name, Chester.  I’m sure most wheel’s have feminine names but this one just seemed like a Chester to me.  Say hi Chester!

Chester and I spent quite a bit of time together at the lake.  You can see a seaplane in the background coming in in one of the photos.  I was working on a brownish color alpaca/wool blend.  I must not have taken a finished photo of the yarn though.  Oh well I’ll save that one for Friday then.

Here’s what I have on one of my bobbins right now.  It’s a hand carded alpaca/wool/tencel blend.  I’m not sure if I’m going to leave it that color or dye it later.  It’s so shinny!

Lastly I couldn’t help but share this last photo.  While I was rummaging through the cabin looking for a snack the Triscuit box caught my eye.  Andrea, this is 100% for you, I know you’re on a gluten free diet so you probably would never have seen this otherwise.
