I took a class through the local Parks board, which was run at the LYS. There was only one other student in the class, and we had a pretty good time. I'm still getting the hang of things, but my yarn so far does not look too hideous. I think I've settled at a mostly-consistent heavy worsted weight, but that's just me eyeballing it.
(Isn't my spindle pretty?)
Dave's afghan is moving shockingly fast. I cast on for the fourth block today. Here's Section C, a neat scale-like motif.
And to continue the "things Liz has made out of natural-colored wool" motif, this week I finally attached my veil to the comb. I had my hair trial yesterday (where we tested out my desired hairdo) and here's how the two look together:
24 days till I get to wear all that stuff again!
The veil? Utterly lovely on you. That is just a work of art...
ReplyDeleteI love the way you attached the veil and your hair style with it! It's a very old fashioned look, but simple and classic, rather than stuffy and frilly.
