I was right about the ice in my last, truncated, post. There were more cold water rescues and deaths under the ice than I remember in the past.
Weather has been all over the place- snow, lots of snow, 60 degrees, rain, lightning, ice melt and not quite raging rivers and temps below zero this weekend. There were some fabulous cross country ski days tucked in there, when Tim was able to lure me from my fiber den.
My fingers have been nimble and warm at home.
I finished weaving this christening outfit in time for the blessing. It was stunning if I do say so myself.
And fit like a dream. It’s woven with 720 fine mercerized cotton threads as warp and cotton and silk weft.
Tim likes his new sweater and under/over shirt made of alpaca and wool.
A mandolin may already be hung from this strap.
And our fireplace matches are tidy in a bag I wove.
My to do list has not shortened one bit though.

Golly! You are talented! Nothing new to know, but with each post you exceed the last time. I marvel at you. And with this one the christening dress brings visions of ones I have seen in museums. This too, is so worthy. What a family heirloom.
