Welcome to Fiber Arts Friday! Spring has arrived early here in Michigan. The last few days have been in the upper 70's, the pastures are turning green, we've turned off the heated water buckets and our shear date is set. The Alpacas are ready for that pasture to grow so they can fill their bellies with the rich grass...but they must wait a wee bit longer. You can't rush nature.
You can't rush knitting either. I finished my Crossing the Lines cowl right before bed last night. Now I just need to stop by my LYS so that it can be blocked properly. I am still not blocking properly so I am asking the amazing pattern writer herself to work her blocking magic. It is beyond beautiful. I love when I finish a project and it turns out better than I had imagined. This cowl was great too because I learned a couple of new techniques too. So I will have to wait a few more days before I can share the blocked cowl. Enjoy your weekend. I hope it's as beautiful in your neck of the woods as it is here on the farm. Now share your adventures in Fiber Arts!
