Fall fiber frenzy continues. The year here at High on Hooking culminates in the Fall Fiber Fiesta, Friday – Sunday, up in Santa Fe. You are coming, yes?
A BIG THANK YOU to Dagmar Beinenz-Byrd of ZiaWoolz for opening and sharing her beautiful home during Saturday’s High Desert Studio Tour. Yes, I did buy almost, but not quite more than I sold. But who can resist those hand-dyed yarns and fingerless mittens (yeah, I bought another pair of those), etc., etc. Because Dag’s yarns are too light to hook with, I’ve never been able to purchase any of her yummy colors. (Tom just wouldn’t understand me purchasing yarn to look at. He’s so silly, I know.) BUT, having just finished crocheting a shawl (sized more like a scarf to me) – my first “big” crochet project in years – I rewarded myself with some of her yarn to repeat the project in BRIGHT summery colors. More on that another day.
Really, can you resist these? And I’m not just talking Hersey’s Kisses here.
And lastly, this week’s “What’s on the frame” feature is really about what’s NOT on the frame. These little rugs have to be finished up in the next couple of days to be ready to go Friday morning. So much to do, so much to do…
Again, feed the Fall fiber frenzy by visiting High on Hooking up in Santa Fe this weekend. As always, mention the blog and get 10% off any rug. See you there!
You’re one busy bee! I hope you had good sales this weekend. I want to start some mug rugs for my upcoming sale.
I actually got outside yesterday and did some yard work. I have been dreadful this year about doing that….to busy with class samples and quilting projects.
I’m excited about my new little loom and need to get that warped. I will keep both for a bit.
Little loom?!!? Yeah, sure. I’m so happy NOT to be making mug rugs for a while. Want to work on my big rug. Santa Fe was chilly, but lots of sun. Warmer down here in ABQ, but I prefer the holidays to be cooler. Ah, well. Enjoy your gardens before they’re snowed on and have a great Thanksgiving!
