Busy season

Hello all,

I am sorry I have not posted anything lately, Ive been busy but not taking any photos of things Ive been working on. Naalbinding is the latest thing. I made a sock and started a funny pointed hat. Naalbinding for those who dont know is an ancient stretchy fabric construction method similar to knitting, except that naalbinding cannot unravel if a thread is pulled, and it is made with a single needle rather than 2 needles. It is a bit more time consuming, but I am seeing that it has great potential for being a fun diversion. Plus there is something about it that seems more like crochet, which is more freeflowing to me than knitting.

I also went yesterday to a local knitting/yarn shop with my lunchtime knitters from work and bought this lovely yarn from japan I am still just loving it an petting it and thinking about what I might make out of it.
