This past summer flew by and I enjoyed every minute of it! I think my husband and I did something together every weekend. At the beginning of the summer, we got caught up a little bit on our gardening chores. It's not so bad to do when you have a partner helping out.
I got serious with my weaving this summer. I made my first baby wrap sale, "Rising From The Fire".
I just recently finished "Tickled Pink" for a customer. This one ended up being 5.6m long (at her request for a long wrap).
I participated in a towel exchange, so wove up 5 towels. I've yet to receive any back, so I don't think I'll do another exchange, but I did save back one of mine.
I took another weaving class this summer. I went with a friend to Sievers School on Washington Island in Door County, WI. It was fun to get away, although a little stressful, since Koby was very sick right before I left. Luckily, he recovered, and two days into the class, I was finally able to relax and enjoy the experience.
Right now, I have this warp on the loom for another babywrap. Even though it's just cotton, the colors just glow. Warping a gradient is a pain, but the results are so worth it. (I use the warping wheel when I warp on my Megado, so I think it's a little easier. Still time consuming though.)
In August, W and I got to talking about being able to go away on the weekends. It's tough to do when you have pets, however, so we decided that we would just have to take them along with us, so we made the decision to get a travel trailer! We're starting out small, and are already talking about upgrading in the next two years or so, but we had such a great time camping and can't wait for next spring. We have found that we really prefer the State Parks, because the campsites are more private and roomy.
I've been doing some knitting and spinning. I sold off some of my spinning wheels. I decided that I really didn't need any "travel wheels", so sold my Sidekick and my Lendrum. I did end up getting a Hansen MiniSpinner, so when I do need to take a wheel with me somewhere, this will be the one.
More later, with some camping trip/weekend trip highlights!
