Some Good News.....

..............about Majestic Peacock. Dimensions very kindly forwarded me on the thread I needed to finish the back stitching. I finished up all the back stitching and have now moved on to the couching, which I have never done before, and the hundreds (may be an exaggeration) of French Knots in this!

Hopefully I will have a happy dance for you all very soon, however I will wait until it is all finished up before I show you a picture. I do have another picture to show you all. As I mentioned in a previous post I am trying to get a handle on spinning yarn. Now that I have somewhat increased my speed and gotten better at drafting I am finding to such fun!

Here is a picture of my first attempt at plying, this has made this yarn so soft and snuggly and I can't wait to make something with it, not sure what yet though.

Well hopefully I will be back soon with a finish, so keep an eye out for that.
