Don't F*&^# with a felter!!!
Ok first off, please enjoy these pictures. Please, I just got a spanky new camera and spent oh about 3 hourse today trying to figure out how to upload pictures to the blog. I know there's an easier way to do it but being as technically illeriterate as I am it will take me awhile to figure it out.
The weapon above is a 10 needle felting tool. Barb gave me a very nice wooden 4 needle one which started me off on the felting binge.
She's the enabling queen! Anyhoo, saw this bad daddy and had to have it.
This is a birdfeeder the Bf gave me for a bday last year and the pole is from my Bro and sis inlaw this year. The birds really like it becuase being away from the fence Cats and squirrells can't mess with them. The chickens love to scratch for all the seend the wild birds drop from the feeder
This is yet another scarf, it'a pattern I have used before and is easy to remember. The yarn is handspun. It's interesting becuase the fiber is yellow and purple but when I spun it up and knit it it almost looks like varigated shades of brown.
I don't even know what this is going to be yet. I just loved spinnnig this fiber kind of bulky and it looks very nice and textured when knit in this seed stich. Maybe some other panels will be added and it will become a throw.

Nothing much else newsworthy. Been getting ready for OFF (oregon fiber festival) This wear my friends and I will be camping in a tent on the fairgrounds. It's always alot of fun at this festival, there are lots of vendors and things to do or if you want you can always just park yourself somewhere and knit or spin. Last year I came home with Bijoux the angora bunny, the year before that it was a KROMSKI!! This year?
hmmmm probably an Ashford jumbo flyer kit, or a pygmy goat. Wouldn't the neighbors love that..

I DO enjoy the pictures! What kind of camera did you get? It does a great job. Love your new tool, can't wait see what you do with it. The squirels might figure out how to climb the pole, if they do, there is a gizmo we have on ours that seems to fix it. They haven't climbed ours in over two years. Looks great with a birdy on there too!
