Photos of the Scarves



This is the scarf that had the mohair and glitz novelty yarn with handspun. It was impossible to get the sparkle effect even with the sunshine, to show up in the photo. Too bad because there is actual metallic in the yarn so there are lots of glittery bits of light in the weave.





The novelty yarn in this scarf was ribbon-like. It really gave a rich appearance with the handspun. For these scarves, I am using corriedale handspun and so they are really soft and don't even feel like wool.

MY SIGN NAME

Since the beginning of the year, I've been learning sign language. My deaf friend from church helped figure out a sign name for me. It is too slow to fingerspell Kathy all the time so a sign name is quicker. Darlene knew I liked spinning and weaving so she used the sign for yarn and if you do it with K fingers, then that is my name. It is fun to have a name that is so meaningful to me.

THE WEBSITE

If you have visited here before, you will notice that it looks a lot different. Jess, my daughter, did a lot of work to make it look really nice and to match the website too. I love how she did the graphic at the top to reflect the weaving and mountains. Be sure to look at the website, also, because it is totally online now and you can see all my work there. The kids really did a fantastic job with the whole thing and it still surprises me every time I look at it because it is so wonderful.

Hi Kathy, the scarves and the new site look great!! I tried to put your site on my bloglines account so I'd be notified when you update, but it says that your blog is not publishing RSS feeds. :^(

The tapestry image in your header is gorgeous!!

Thank you very much, Valerie. I will have to check with my daughter about the RSS feeds because I just don't know but I'm sure she will fix it this weekend.
