Can you start to see a theme in my productivity at the moment? Firstly, I think my friend really would like this to be finished sooner rather than later, but secondly DyeforYarn are running a competition for projects made in their yarn, and finished in July or August this year. The design is probably nuts enough to rate a few "love" clicks on Ravelry... now I just need to get it finished by the third week of August!
On a spinning related note I wandered down to Coldharbour Mill this weekend just gone. First up I can highly recommend the treacle tart that they sell in the restaurant... absolutely divine, stupidly huge slice and a sugar headache to last three hours. Now I must admit I didn't go round the mill itself, having wandered round lots of similar as a child. From the outside though it really is lovely and I could imagine any budding photographers wasting many a productive hour round the leats etc. My main reason for going down though was the craft fair they were hosting. I must admit I've been eyeing the pieces of felt I've been seeing recently with increasing interest... not enough I hasten to add to try it! Well the fair gave me the perfect chance to sit and watch the process of wet-felting, and as it turns out give some impromptu spinning demonstrations. Needless to say I didn't escape completely without increasing the "to-be-spun" stash, with the following lovelies from Sara's Texture Crafts:
