Wedding Gifts

With a little time to spare (although not much!) I finished the weaving of the shawl and scarf wedding presents.

Finished and celebratory wine.
This only left the fringe twisting...   at one stage I had visions of Anne sitting in the car on the way up to DC for the wedding, busy twisting fringes on the finished weaving, but as it turned out that was not necessary as with a couple of half day sessions I was able to finish the job, give them a final wash to set the fabric and then after drying, package them ready for the wedding.

Shawl ready to go.

Scarf ready to go.
We had a great time in DC, MD, VA for the wedding and managed to catch up with many friends and family.  We were on the go the whole time so it took a couple of days on return, to wind down, unpack, and get back into valley life.  The garden largely survived and our hummingbirds had not deserted us. 

Moving on now to the next project to spin a sample of llama wool and also spin some of the removed guard hairs and then ply/cable them into cord.  More to follow.
