June is Approaching

Good grief! Where has this year gone?  It is fast approaching June -- Memorial Day weekend, the official start of summer even though we're stuck in our May gray/June gloom down here by the coast.

I finished the crocheted triangle shawl.  I ran out of the handspun yarn that I started with but rummaged around in my stash and found a skein that worked perfectly.  This hasn't been blocked yet.  Hopefully the sun will decide to come out this afternoon and I'll block it on my patio table.


I've continued dyeing, dyeing, dyeing for Black Sheep Gathering.  Here are some rovings of Polwarth wool and tussah silk -- rinsed and ready to hang out for drying -- colorways "Bittersweet" and "River Dart".

My boothmate for Black Sheep, Miryha Runnerstrom of Blarney Yarn, is also deep into dyeing.  She will have some beautiful rovings and hand-dyed yarn for our booth.  


My tomatoes are going crazy and have already set fruit. 

And, in my spare time (LOL!!) I have begun the "Blossoms by the brook" shawlet from Knitty.com using yarn I spun from Inglenook Fibers batts.  (I actually finished it last night and it awaits blocking -- doesn't look good unblocked.)

As Tim Gunn always says, "Carry on".
