More new projects (Lisa)

3 recently knitted caps. The first 2 are Merino X handspun, dyed with Cushing's dye (bright purple). A rolled brim with zigzag eyelet pattern and tassel (can't be seen in this picture), a 2X2 rib knit (same yarn and dye), and a felted cap in natural Shetland and Columbia X (onion dye) from the FiberTrends pattern "Bright Chapeau".

I'll be posting some items for sale at www.fiberfrontier.homestead.com very soon.

New project (Lisa)

I dyed this handspun Columbia wool yarn with Cushing's Acid Dye (peacock). The pot wasn't big enough, but the resulting variegated yarn is quite attractive! I have a knitting pattern for a vest I want to try. It's called "Lattice and Cables" by Pegg Thomas at Twin Willows Farm.

This is my "Prairie Shawl"...a point twill from handspun yarn. The dark brown and the light grey (musket) are natural colored Shetland and the red is dyed Merino. A warm, substantial shawl for chilly prairie nights, Friday evenings at a football game; perfect for any abode, wonderful as a gift for anyone. 25" x 66". $175 plus shipping. Lisa
