Last weekend I was lucky enough to join some friends for another great retreat filled with fun and fiber. My friend Marti sums it up well here on her blog, with a beautiful video of our escapades. The photos taken around our weekend "home" at Shakertown really convey the serenity of the setting! We stayed in the beautiful Brick Tanyard house, and despite rumors of it being haunted the only spirit presence felt there was one of a friendly cat jumping on someone's bed!
I haven't been in much of a knitting mood lately, which is fine as I've enjoyed concentrating on my feltmaking. It was a little awkward at first to do wet felting in a room of people who were mostly sitting and spinning or knitting, but I soon got in a groove. I started making hats and then couldn't stop! Sadly, the first one and the one for which I spent the most time (above) by far didn't meet my standards.... I was playing with using cotton for some nuno instead of silk and I love the effect (around the band of the pillbox), but I kept making the crown part too flimsy despite 3 attempts! Oh, well....
These hats and a few more are now in my Etsy store. I'm trying, really trying to get things up in there, and have added some other new items as well! Have a great weekend, everyone :)
