Hey there! I am not vanished from the face of the earth. School is just mega frustrating lately.

We went to an event this weekend in the Austin area and I competed in the A&S competition. The above photo is my display from the competition. I didn’t win, but I think I placed well. My friend won the competition with her handspun, handknit (on size 00!!) stockings! I have pics coming of the rest of the competition. I’ll post a link here later.

At the event I took two classes. One was Viking Wire Knitting (also called trichinopoly). I had a lot of fun. Here’s the result:

One word. ADDICTIVE!

I also took a class on sprang, but I don’t have any photos from that.

Oh..I have a FO, kind of.

Ladies 14th century knitted hood with liripipe.  I used knitpicks telemark yarn for it. I still need to add buttons, thats why its “almost” finished.  I want to do another one in linen yarn for summer wear.

Ok…back to the books. See you soon!
