Twisp of Fate

I have sold several of my Mosaic Mojo hat patterns recently (on Ravelry and hard copies at Winthrop Gallery) and it reminded me to post some pictures.  Over the last few months I had spun up a number of small carded batts from a carding class I took years ago.  I plied them together in different combinations and wound up with small amounts of yarn in a variety of colors.  Since we can only sell knitted items at our annual guild sale that incorporate handspun yarn, this is what they were used for.  The ones below have handspun for the variegated yarn, and Cascade 220 wool for the solid color.

I sold 3 of these at the guild sale and took the rest up to Winthrop Gallery, where 2 have sold already!

Speaking of the guild sale, it is always the Friday & Saturday before Thanksgiving and held at our meeting room between Twisp and Winthrop.  One of our members does a great job of curating the show, and the room looked great.  It was well attended and we did well.

Here are the three cotton scarves I made using the “turned M’s & O’s” technique.  I hadn’t gotten pictures of them before the sale, but I am happy with how they turned out and will probably make more in a different color next year.

Now I am scrambling to make some more things for the galleries before Christmas.  I am almost out of scarves and just finished some yesterday, so pictures later.  I am almost out of rugs too but need to put a new rug warp on my loom before I can resume those.  Yikes!
