In the Meantime

My studio is progressing. I've hired someone to drywall and in a couple of weeks I should have the walls painted and the floor finished.

In the meantime, I wasn't sure whether my new grandson-to-be would make his appearance before I could weave his special blanket. So I temporarily set up my loom in the guesthouse bedroom.

The blaket is almost ready to be cut off. And there's just enough yarn left to weave fabric for a matching pillow for big brother.

In addition, I've been teaching myself to spin with a drop spindle. This bit of roving is all that is left of the two ounces of baby alpaca I purchased. I think it wants to be a scarf. My daughter, who learned to spin at age 12 should be proud of me!
