Sheep Hat

I found this pattern in the millions of patterns in Ravelry. I have had it in my to do list for quite a long time so decided to knit it while we were on holidays. I have a did of reverse knitting because the brown of the face and legs showed in the white of the sheep , so its better to loop behind with the second colour and not knit in.

Fibre dying

Had a great time last weekend dying 1 kg of 21 micron Merino roving. I am selling them in the gallery, if they don't sell I will spin them ready to use for knitting etc.   I just love how the colours work together.

Platform Gallery

our new gallery here in Port Augusta has been open for the past few months. Its the most amazing gallery now with lovely open space which is light and airy, there is no comparison with the old gallery. We have been donated a 4 shaft loom which has not been used for years. Debi and I warped it up with a test warp. its all there and weaves well.
