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.

Smelly yarn:)

Before i leave the island on friday for some work i wanted to show you what I made the last days.

I wrote smelly yarn, cause its made from unwashed sheep fiber. But it was easy to spin with. And my mother in law allready uses it for a garnment.

I made no soap this period, I was not motivated enough. So its lot to do in march, when iam back.

The upper picture is showing some wintermood, with dogs here on the island...it is so wonderfull outside:)

Fun in the snow

After all christmas and new year and all sticky toffee pudding I started traing my 2 dogs again. On the left side you can see Alvin (8 month old) and on the right its Atilla (3 years old). On the picture they are enjoying the snowy side of life. Unfortunatley for them and for the rest of the family the snow is smelting now, but iI hope it will come back soon. We had some wonderfull winterweather during the last week and we all enjoyed ice scating and playing outside in the snow

Nicer than "Sticky Toffee Pudding"?

Hello and happy new year. I started the year with changing my Blogname. The reason for that is that I want to start writing about other stuff in my life not only soapmaking and therefor this one fits better.
Other thing is, that I will turn over to write my Blog in english language. ...sure iam not a perfect english writer but I will need less time writing and hopefully I will use my blogg a bit more.
Thats actually the main reason..

I start the first new year blog with a picture of my favourite food at the moment: Sticky Toffee Pudding. Made it for the second time after visiting London, and I rly love it:))
Hurray for english food.

Other things which are new in my Blog are the links to my 2 favourite Labrador breeders and to my WOW guild. I hope you will have a look at them.

Thats all for today..
