I just finished sewing my first baby blanket. This marks the third project that I've completed. I've sewn a tunic and a pair of pajama pants. The blanket was the first project that I've done without a pattern - who needs a pattern for a rectangle, right? It's been a real learning experience. A friend in my sewing class suggested that I back it with a solid fabric and I do some top-stitching. I'm pleased with how it turned out and I hope my niece Zoey enjoys it. I can't wait to give it to her on Thanksgiving!

We had a bit of a carding party at Debi's. She and I had bought an alpaca fleece earlier in the year and attempted to wash it. I now know that I would much rather send my fleece out for processing. Debi had some lovely gray alpaca that we enjoyed tremendously.
This past Sunday, Debi and I took a trip to Jerome to meet some other knitters/spinners from Phoenix and Prescott. On our way, we saw a stunning double rainbow. Unfortunately, I was only able to get a couple of photos of the single rainbow. So vivid!
We had such a good time with the Prescott Knitters and Erica, the owner of
Knit 1, Bead 2. She was so welcoming and has lovely fibery things!
