My friend's father, Jack, made me a beautiful cup to use when I spin on the tahkli.
It's made out of olive wood. Clever how he made it tall and narrow so that the spindle would be better supported. I asked him to leave the bottom a little rough so the tip of the spindle could grab it. He made the smaller bowl holding the cotton sliver, also. Thanks, Jack!
I finished spinning singles from the gory looking red fiber I dyed a couple of weeks ago (see previous blog below). This was spun on a Kromski Mazurka while in Old Town. I will ply it over Christmas.
I am making some mittens for my husband out of Targhee top from Mountain Colors. This is yarn I made a while ago. It has been waiting for the perfect project.
I've got the thumb in now, and am finishing up the top. I decided to add the thumb and then have him try them on for the length. I might be able to finish one tonight and get the second cast on.
