Finished 150 Hour Project

I just finished my 150 hour project for level four. I chose to knit a lap blanket for my mom using Shetland and Cotswold. It really turned out beautifully. The blanket used 2 ply bulky yarn (thin strand morrit shetland, thick strand cotswold). This blanket was made from our very first Cotswold lamb ("Courage").

And, yes this blanket has a story behind it! Pictures will be posted soon.

Spin Off Article

I had been reading past spin off magazine articles, when the thought came to write an article about educating the next generation (from a youth's view). So, I just submitted it and we will have to see how it goes. I included many personal experiences.

More fun!

Where did I leave off? Oh, in Livermore, CA. Next we went to Death Valley. After the drive, I was a little disappointed as there was nothing but the road! No shops, hotels or other fun things to do. So we kept driving. We went though Las Vagas on our way to the Ranch in Kerryville, Tx.  I will post pictures of the goats at the ranch later this week.

MASTER SPINNER UPDATE:

I am almost done with level four and am getting ready for level five. I am right now finishing up the dye project. I just keep pushing myself. Keep looking for updates~!
