My first Nuno:)





Now its time for me to travel back to work for the next 3 weeks. The last thing I did yesterday was trying to do some nunofelting. I like my result but still its far from perfekt. I used black cotton in the middle and its wrapped with silk, alpakka and sheep fibers. Like a sandwich:) It feels very nice and its big enough to use as a shawl.
Ok, Iam off for now.

Cu soon.

More dyeing of fiber:)







Yesterday I startefd knitting these socks for a friend who got a little babyboy. They are not perfect but I rly like them anyway.

This was an english pattern and Iam not so good at reading them yet, so I struggled a bit on the upper part.

The fibers on the picture are from a "norwegian wild sheep" breed. It feels lovley and the colours are great I think.
I have some ideas what to do with it, but the prosject must wait. Now I have to go on producing a bit more yarn for my shawl.
I joined Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/ som month ago and found the pattern there.
The pattern for the socks can you found here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/saartjes-bootees

Here is the thread




Hello everyone. I was busy couloring more fibers and spinning to get my thread ready. And i must say that Iam quite proud of the result. :)


I wanted to knit a shawl, so I went for that one: http://beyenburgerin.wordpress.com/category/free-patterns/shawlsscarves/
Nice blog she has and nice patterns too:)


Sure, its no lace but I wanted to try anyway. My knitting needles are slightly thicker, but who cares:p I think the result will be fine anyway. And best of all was that I understood the pattern:p

Colouring wool




Finally I am home again from work and I was not lazy this week. But I just did things I wanted to do.
I ordered some Ashford colours while being away at work and yesterday I tried them. It was great fun to see the results. Unfortunatley I was a bit scared of the whole thing so I coulored not so much fiber.
But well there is a new week coming. I think I will colour some more wool:)
And ofc the upper picture is from the yarn I spun out of the fiber today. I rly, rly love it.
