The other day there were falling garments from the top shelf in the closet--gee whiz!
These falling garments were all hand knit or hand woven scarves, wraps, etc. A couple of the scarves are felted projects from a workshop, held many many moons ago!
I tried to neatly stack the pieces up on the sofa so I could browse through them. Of course, that took some time as I relished each piece and remembered why or when I completed.
Some are hand spun fibers, others are hand dyed purchased yarns.
I found some unique shaped ones -this one is knit with handspun silk--that was alot of fun to knit!
I remember this one as I plied it with a stainless steel yarn so the scarf could be twisted and shaped to wear--that was interesting to do
Here are a couple of scarves that were woven--the blue one is dyed warp with hand spun silk weft
One on the right was a yarn that was balled and spaced dyed--great fun to do
Couple of nuno felted pieces on cloth base
Handspun cotton--blue was dyed after knitted; other one is brown handspun natural cotton
Lace is my knitting passion and it is reflected in this grouping
Another lace scarf with handspun wool/silk blend
and more of lace!
What to do with all these scarves? There is no way I can wear them—I just enjoyed knitting over the years.
These will be Christmas gifts--I'll offer them to the family first, then to friends.
I'd love to see someone else wearing one of my creations.
