Look Inside....

Here are some excerpts from Lexi's new book Intertwined. I'm over the moon to have been part of this project, even though my part seems so insignificant compared to all the work Lexi put into this. I can't even imagine the stress trying to meet the deadline for a book and make it all look so good. Lexi, you rock! The book is amazing...
I'm honored- all three of my yarns that Lexi chose made it into the book! Above on the top left page is Fire Bubble. On the left page featured below is Screamer and Punked!
The following are submissions from my creative co-conspiritor Liz. She designed the Antionette Skirt using Lexi's yarn. So pretty!!! And below that is her delectable Tossed Salad yarn that I featured here on my blog and on flickr last year...

I got a peek at Lexi's new book Intertwined : The Art of Handspun Yarn, Modern Patterns & Creative Spinning. WOW!!! She stole my heart with her first book Handspun Revolution, but this... AMAZING! I'm waiting for the yarn shop copies to arrive so I can read it cover to cover!

YARN!












Here's a peek at the yarns I've been hoarding. I haven't been spinning much of late, but these were the ones I manages to sqeeze in right before we moved house. There are a couple more that I haven't photographed yet, spun from fibers I received in an exchange with Lampe's Lumps. The yarn above, Shrieking Violet, was sent to Lampe. I'll post pic's soon of all the fabulous fibers I received from her....
