For your viewing pleasure
For your viewing pleasure, the colors of early summer....
Backyard roses...
Side yard tiger lilies....
Front yard pileated woodpecker... (We only see only of these once every couple of years. It actually made quite the mess out of the front tree.)
Spindle spun shetland in pomegranate fromSpunky Eclectic .
My first wool woven project using Knit picks palette as the warp and my own handspun singles in romney in the pansy colorway from Spunky Eclectic. (Yes, I've added to my post-apocalyptic skill set by adding weaving to my list of abilities) I'll blog about my loom very soon.
Lots of colors! Navajo plied superwash BFL from (not surprisingly) Spunky Eclectic.
Two ply Norwegian wool from (now predictably) Spunky Eclectic. I had never spun this type of sheep wool before and totally enjoyed it. I was calling it an "al dente" wool but apparently the proper spinning phrase is to say it has a "crisp hand".

Like Obama's weekly video addresses (http://www.theonion.com/articles/obamas-weekly-video-addresses-becoming-increasingl,17649/), Sharilyn's blog postings are becoming increasingly trippy. Just a stutter here, and an allusion to mass-destruction there make one feel a bit dizzy upon completion.
Key phrases to take with you after reading this post:
"I've added to my post-apocalyptic skill set by adding weaving to my list of abilities"
"We only see only of these once every couple of years."
"I had never spun this type of sheep"
"Spindle spun shetland in pomegranate"
Next week: entire post about loom about loom completed without using the letter "e," but in font that slowly gets larger, then smaller, smaller, then contorts into Japanese kanji if you stay on the page long enough, if you stay on the page long enough.

I believe I may be flattered to be compared to Obama even if the common ground is "trippy". Um. Yes. Yes, I am. (Smiles quietly to self.)

I saw a woodpecker in our backyard the other day that was huge! It was trying to get inside the fence to reach some bee's that had nested there. I went to grab my husband but by the time I cam back he was gone. Probably a foot tall.
