I have finally managed to finish my latest yarn design "Hamunaptra", and you can also view it in my Etsy-Store! It's a  mix of British Bluefaced Leicester and Shetland wool, and the colours have come out really really well - I think I've done a good job, what do you guys think?

I will be dyeing some more of my favourite Bluefaced Leicester rovings and perhaps some extrasoft Merino rovings as well today - well, I really should do some decorating for the christmas season, it's almost December. But it's just not cold enough outside to get me in the right mood. It's way too mild for this time of the year. I remember last year, when we had clear frosty days, and I went and mowed the frosted lawn (!!!!!?????) because I hadn't been able to do it before - Britain can be sooooo wet and swampy, and the grass NEVER stops growing over here - so, yes, I did indeed mow the lawn on November 30th, and I was veeeery pleased with the result! The grass was so frozen, it was such a breeze to cut it, you would not believe it. And the garden looked perfect for christmas, when my parents came to stay with me - yees, I wanted to show off a bit... But this year I am not lucky. My neighbours are also worriedly walking the lawns - we all want to cut grass, but it's just too soaking wet - no way we could succeed this time!

Everybody : Today I want to introduce Emeline !!! Emeline is a dreadmaker from France - she does such a fantastic job, and she has kindly sent me some photos of the dreads she has made:

They are fantastic!!!  She makes them extra-thick from Merino wool rovings and I really hope that she will send me more pics from any of her future projects!! I will ask her if she also accepts customer orders, she sounded very busy with dreadmaking at the moment. Update: Yes, she does accept customer orders, folks!! You can Contact Emeline at any time! This is her:

NOW IS SHE PRETTY OR WHAT??

I have noticed in the past that a lot of dreadmakers are very good looking - they have a great sense for colour and fashion and they move in their own circles, which I think makes them even more interesting!

I am not a dreadmaker, I am a handspinner and I think I am sooooo old fashioned - sigh....

Right, next time more. Have to go now and finish my handmade christmas gifts for my sisters and my little nephew - OF COURSE I WILL SHOW YOU WHEN THEY ARE DONE... well, if they come out alright...Until then, you all take care!
