Where for art thou Spring?
Friday, February 18, 2011 at 8:13AM OK, so I know it's only Feb. 18, and here in the Buffalo area, we really aren't going to see real Spring for a few more weeks (ehm . . . a month), but the weather is teasing me today, and I can't help but let my mind drift to sunshine and daffodils. It's blowing hard, trying to drizzle, and is a balmy 56 degrees! Oh happy day!!
My plans for the day include dyeing a beautiful bfl fleece and re-photographing quite a few products, but the electricity is starting to flicker, so we'll see what actually gets accomplished.
I had so much fun spinning this week. I spun up some Corriedale-cross roving that I had in the shop, and will be dyeing more of today. The spin was fast, fun and completely enjoyable--I love spinning medium fine wool!! The finished yarn is fluffy, springy, bulky and squishy. I can see it becoming a little boy's vest. I have a nephew who's first birthday is coming up, if it doesn't sell, it just may become a vest after all!
I had fun photographing this, so bear with me!
Last one!
I'm also on basement water patrol. I soooo hope the electricity holds today!
It's Fiber Arts Friday, so head over to Wonder Why Alpacas and see what other fiber bloggers are up to!

I love photographing yarn, too! Your photos look really nice, and the yarn color is so pretty.
that yarn looks scrumptious-it'll be pretty worked up as a sweater.
Those colors say "Hamptons" to me. Beaches, sea shells, crashing waves. Ahhhh... summer.
Very pretty yarn. I think of calm, relaxed and peaceful when looking at this skein.
I love that color combination, it's soft and lovely looking!
I'd take lots of photos too. That yarn is delicious to look at.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
I love this yarn. It's such an unusual color combination it makes for a beautiful yarn. Sounds like your weather is about the same as ours here in W Mi. Very windy and getting cold right now, most of the snow is gone and I also keep checking the basement for the water that usually results from snow melt. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
Blue and Brown are two of m favorites together. I really like how these are muted and soft... very comfy.
