I was busy and productive last week.
 |
| I started a hat from the ribbing I used for class and helical stripes are fun to knit and a nice option instead of a solid color. The gray is carded with color bits of mohair locks and sari silk. The colors pop beautifully against the brown striped fabric. |
 |
| On Thursday, the plain air painters had to work inside. Paul and Cathy opened their home to us. It was a fun session... |
 |
| ...I worked on another painting in progress and blocked in this portrait of Gus. |
 |
| Wearing my newly-patched bibs and continuing to spin the Finn roving from Gale Wood Farm. |
 |
| Mary and I washed our Lincoln Longwool fleeces (from Snake River Acres). We will be prepping and spinning up this beautiful, silvery gray fiber. I am taking the time to read about the sheep and spinning the lovely wool into yarn appropriate for knitting and weaving. |
 |
Gus continued to work on his artistic blanket series.
|
Jim and I went to the zoo on Friday. We went in the afternoon, and while some of the animals were napping, there were a few that were awake and fun to watch.
 |
| The wolves came running when their keeper was in the area outside the fence. |
 |
| The beaver was busy! |
