Letter to my cousin

I made some project bags and some kit bags to sell at Unwind. I then figure I can use the proceeds to buy things. It is a fun game.

 There were 3 different fabrics used on the Box Bags

 And then I used this fabric "Frida's Garden" in 2 colour ways for the Kit Bags.

 Some of the photos aren't great quality but you get the idea.

We had 120 people at Unwind this year - slowly it grows.
I did 2 classes - the first was Double Knitting - which creates a great double-sided fabric. It is slow to work so I wouldn't do a lot of it - but I am planning a specific project.

 The second class was a demonstration of dyeing using plant/natural dyes. Some gorgeous colours.
 We also have a Swap Shop where you can bring along yarns you don;t want and swap for something else. Here is my haul!
 I bought these great tags...
 And now for the yarn. Most of my buys have specific projects in mind. The Silver Lining is made from a mix of fleeces from outlying places - this one is Stewart Island and Arapawa Island(in the Marlborough Sounds) and is destined for a sweater. The Zealana Air is a lace-weight - 25g of 40% cashmere, 40% possum and 20% silk!!! I think that will be some fingerless mitts - I have a pattern that thinks it can be achieved with just 25g. The cheerful red is a 50/50 silk/merino that is to be a stripe in a sweater with the main colour being dark blue.


 I bought the 2 blues from Vintage Purls - this is also where I work! I am thinking of combining with the natural colour and maybe another and using them for a design.
 The yarns above are from Outlaw Yarns - a sport-weight that is 45%Polwarth, 45% Alpaca and 10% possum. We don't get a lot of sport weight yarns made in NZ and these were lovely colours. I have had a pattern for mitts, that need a lot of colours of sport-weight yarn, for years so pleased to be able to make them now.
There was a special deal on Zauberball - so I bought 3 - the turquoise one will be a gift and the other 2 I will use for my Double Knitting project.
And, finally, we had a group photo of a recent KAL. A group of us had been making Enchanted Mesa; a Stephen West pattern. It is a pretty wacky pattern but fun. Well some didn't think so - ask Alaine. She made the one on Fiona (next to me) but then gave it to her so she wouldn't have to see it again!!!!!

  8. Logging in online gambling games is not a stranger now. various kinds of online gambling games that can make players still want to play. Even more days the number of gambling players is increasing. This is because indeed gambling games are already very interesting to try and play during leisure time. But at this time along with the development of the era of gambling the game was not only played by betting directly on the casinos.
