Update - Upcoming events

I'm terribly sorry that I haven't updated my blog since July, but I have some fantastic news to share with you today! I have a few events that I will be selling some of my hand made items, such as knitted accessories and hand spun yarn.

The first event is a small gathering at a fellow Capilano Textile Alumni's house to showcase a few local artists and have a meet and greet.

The second event is the Capilano University Student Sale. This event also features current and past student works for sale at the school. This event is held on Tuesday November 23, 2010.

The third event is a craft fair to raise funds for a elementary school in my town. It's on November 25, 2010. I'll have more details on this soon, and pictures.

My hand spun on display

Some of my hand spun on was display at Crafthouse on Granville Island, but I forgot to post about it! How? I have no idea! lol

Etsy Shop Update

I have taken my etsy shop off of "Vacation Mode" and I have added a few new hand spun yarns. So, make sure you stop by and check it out!

spinning progress!

yay! I finally finished plying some fiber I dyed in November (I think, it might have even been late october! haha)
The skein on the left is 113 yards of hand dyed, 2-ply, Corridale. The skein on the right is 110 yards of hand dyed 2-ply, Corridale. I don't have names for them yet because I can never think of anything really clever, so suggestions are welcome! :)

I also spun up a small skein of single ply thick and thin yarn from a hand carded batt. The dark green fiber is Perendale, the pink is Corridale (hand dyed), and the white is Polworth. The skein is a total of 18 yards. I'm thinking of calling this one "English Rose Garden".
