Kiri makes a good, albeit reluctant, model. She's extremely trainable and has caught on to sit stay nicely. We're still working on don't eat the scarf. Fortunately, I snapped the photos quickly, before her confusion about why that thing is draped around her neck morphed into chops licking "oooo - wool!" I made the scarf this morning at spinning guild. It's nuno felt, using a silk base topped with merino tussah roving, embellished and fringed with merino silk yarn. The whole thing weighs maybe enough to register on the grams setting of my scale but will keep my neck nicely warm this fall. This morning's guild program was supposed to be pool noodled nuno felt but that method just annoys me. Much too slow and tedious. I did it my way instead.* Same result faster with much more of the terrific tactile sensations I enjoy. Still takes time and elbow grease, though. Turns out others also tire of all that rolling and many of them ended up following my lead. Some pretty scarves at the end of the day. I took no class photos cause I kind of had my hands full.
* If you'd like to learn my technique, I do teach it so feel free to contact me for details on arranging a workshop.
That's gorgeous! Cute pooch, too!
