My Wool Blanket

When I had first started learning how to spin it was on the drop spindle. YouTube had shown me how, but it was the hours of  practice that gave me the many small skeins of bubbly beginner yarn. 

I used the yarn to make blanket squares. My bubbly yarn evened out when I bought my spinning wheel. 

I have tried to replicate it on my wheel.

I am hoping it looks better after it's dyed or at the very least more lumpy.

The wire wrapping bug

So my good friend Jackie inspired me to give wire wrapping a try. I started off with what ever I had in my stash. I don't remember what the wire was made of but it wasn't the easiest wire to work with .

My first attempt didn't turn out so very badly. A little sloppy but it is my first try. 

TO MICHAEL'S !!!!

I had talked myself into two packs of wire. Fortunately you really do not use as much as you think. So I am certain I won't be needing more for a while.

Elizabeth is always interested in seeing what i am working on. When I told her that i was making pendents for necklaces, she brought me a rock she had been carrying around and asked me to make one for her. She now wears it on a chain around her neck or tied to her back pack like a charm. 

Her pendent was my first attempt with the new wire. Still a little sloppy in my opinion, but a few videos on YouTube taught me how to clean it up.

My sister and her husband brought a box full of these stones that they found at the secondhand store. some of the pieces I have made recently are in my etsy store CraftyWitchCorner
