Le Peacock!
Here's the Blue-Faced Leicester that I dyed after the shawl. I used the turquoise and poured in some royal blue and some violet. I am spinning it up now.
See?
This little monkey came home with DH today! More monkeys for me! My DH is such a sweetheart to surprise me and to think of adding to my great wall of ape. DH has been away on business for five days. Now you know how I accomplished so much and lived to blog about it! Between the knitting and spinning and dyeing, I've also been altering a dress pattern to fit and doing a bit, just a bit, of cleaning and hiking. Oh, and, Natalie, I have finally, just today, finished spinning the last of the "big blue ball"! Hooray! I think I'm getting a little tired of blue, although I love it. I have lots more wool to dye, so I think I'm going to try for some very different colorways. I may try to dye some fleece in different colors and card them up into heathers. Gotta get out my dye books!

That shawl is gorgeous! The monkey is cute. I am going through a blue period over here as well. I think the hot weather has me wanting to hit my cold pool. I haven't even had time to go swimming over here and I miss that so much. Maybe tomorrow.
Wow! Just beautiful!!!
We've been missing you at SnB! Hope things continue to go well in your new home.
Yes, yes, heathers!!
I love the way the peacock shawl looks in its new color. I also love how it really does look like peacock feathers!!!
