Dear Mom,
Yesterday's mail brought me some very nice things.
The first was the July issue of Creative Knitting magazine, which has my fun little Hopscotch skirt in it on page 28.
It also shows my friend Carol showing off the changes she made to her "Walk in the Parka" in the letters to the editor on page 5!!!!
The other thing that arrived was this!
This is the bag o'wool, which I washed and picked to the best of my ability, and then sent off to Ohio Valley Natural Fibers to be carded into roving that I can now spin. I am amazed at how much roving that the wool became and I am now anxious to spin it and see how much yarn I can make. I wonder if there is an entire sweater in that box? I was also pleasantly surprised at the very reasonable processing cost. I have a second bag o'wool waiting in the garage. I guess it is time to start washing and picking raw material out of it and send it on its way! And THEN I can start playing with some of the dyeing techniques I learned at that workshop a few weeks ago!!!
Love,
Kim
