    Some Fiber Projects:
 

This is a mohair and shetland sock I made for Rachael.	This is the point (lowest end) of a   shawl I made for myself.	This is a small triloom I made, and the first piece I made with it.I am still experimenting with this type of loom, but I have purchased the materials to make a full sized triloom.

Here are two photos of Tatertot. She is sleeping on a black lamb's fleece. The top picture looks like she is hissing,  but it's actually a yawn.	Ben and Tigger taking a nap together. This photo makes Ben look like a very small puppy. For scale, the blue pillow on the floor with them is 24" on each side.                                      Tigger is a *big* cat.

 
More Projects:

A fair isle hat I knit using hand- spun mohair (white) and com- mercial mohair blend yarns. I dyed the blue green and red over grey. Knit from a free pattern on Gates of the Mountains Shetland farms.	Sideways knit gloves in hand-spun Romney yarn, Dyed in the skein with Country Classic dyes. Pattern from the Winter 2002 issue of Spin-Off.	Drum carded bats of white lambs wool, dyed before carding in the left over dye of the yarn used in the hat at the left. I had violet too, but Ben decorated the yard with it!

Mid-winter foolishness!
