I’ve been preoccupied with pregnancy, family, work and never-ending fiber projects. This is a custom project for a designer that had wanted to showcase some fair isle designs for Fall/ Winter season, and I’m still spinning… I’m under the spell and getting slower each day as the baby grows bigger and heavier in my 3rd trimester. But I will have to finish this soon… and for the most part I’m having fun with this project.

And now for your eyes… My squirrel cage swift is experiencing some technical down days so I came up with another option. Thank you, Jennifer for hooking me up with this beautiful tool. Now I’m back winding and unwinding. By the way, that’s an artisan swift made by Terry Lavallee of Bluster Bay. It’s Black Walnut with Maple Trimmings.
