Out Of My Hands

Blogger friends, you may have noticed a lack of activity here at Floats Knits and Purls. It is entirely true that I have not been blogging, but my fingers have not been totally idle. I do have finished objects to show and talk about from the last few months and I have currently been working on gifts for Christmas and some "by request" items. Some sewing has been completed too, as my Yoga Studio has opened a gift area, and I am providing custom eye and travel pillows for sale there. Lots of activity, just not much blogging.



Above are my entries for this years Fall Fiber Festival in Montpelier Station, VA. I have entering two skeins; one of two ply lace weight, and one of two ply wool/silk in the blend category. Also entered are a pair of cabled white socks, in commercial yarn, Hand knit; and my lace shawl in the handspun, hand-knit Category. Of the three, I have hope for the shawl and the Silk/wool lace weight yarn. I also added a felted bag for the "other technique" category. I have no idea if I'll get recognition for any of these items - but all were challenging to conceive and to produce and that's what the fun is all about! The Festival is this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, but I won't be there until Sunday to find out how the competition results turned out.
