I’ve been crocheting pansies with hand-dyed ‘Single Sport’ from Plain & Fancy Sheep & Wool Co. It is from the company’s booth at last year’s Wool Festival at Taos, which was, well, about a year ago. I’m crocheting a capelet from the solid lilac color, that is also at the center of the pansies. The pansies will be around the bottom edge of the capelet.
I hope to finish the project before the next Taos Wool Festival, so I can show it to Ken and Grayce Aggen, the owners of the Plain & Fancy Sheep & Wool Co.
In case you’re in the area, the Taos Wool Festival is two weeks from this weekend, at Kit Carson Park in Taos, New Mexico. I’ll be there, teaching workshops, from Wednesday, October 3, through Saturday, October 6. I’m doing Slip Stitch Color Knitting (a long version that includes mosaic or ‘dotty’ knitting), Polymer Clay Button Boutique: Part 2, Beginning Crochet, and Two-Handed Stranded Knitting.
And after that, it’s off to Stitches East in Baltimore! This is the first time since we moved back to the US, and since Ella was born (both happened the same year), that I’ve had such a busy teaching schedule. Woo hoo!
