Thank you bunnies!

Vacationing bunnies are great!  They have a lot of discovering to do.  They have escape plans to map out.  And they shed!  Over the past year I've had a paper bag in the bunny playroom where I collected miscellaneous bunny fur.  Three color piles blended with a bit of supersoft merino, cormo and alpaca fur to give the yarn stability.  My plan is to Navaho ply the single to keep the striped color in the finished yarn.  Dreaming that I will be able to weave the yarn...maybe there's a loom out there for me...

Fasten-ating Scarf!



I’m a bit behind in my postings but since it snowed here on the first day of spring, a winter scarf still seems appropriate.  After receiving a gift of a jumbo flyer and bobbin for my spinning wheel I wanted to incorporate something over-sized in my next spinning project.  After rummaging through supplies I decided to spin buttons and zipper parts into a soft merino wool roving.  I’m not much of a planner and ran out of the purple yarn long before I wanted my knitting to end.  I like the asymmetrical stripes!
