Phew!!

 

It's been a really busy week. We had a dance on Saturday night, with a great band that played both Scottish and modern music. We then had one of the Orkney 'YES' ambassadors come over to visit us (this was about the vote for Scottish Independence), and then I had to go and see the specialist yet again in hospital about my jaw. This is also the last Soulka weekend for the year, so there are lots of talks and activities going on, but I was tired tonight, so we stayed home.

 

 

I also had an order for some scarves. I did not know what kind was required, so I quickly wove one, using all different types of fibre (see top picture), and then I dyed some silk ones.

 This is a bundle of the dyed silk scarves waiting to be processed. They are rough and have excess dye, needing to be washed.

 These two pictures show them processed and ready for wear.

 The last four photos show the pebbling effect on the scarves. I never know what effect this will have, and I just love seeing how they turn out.

 

Must go to bed. I am sleepy. Remember my giveaway ceases at 12 midnight GMT tomorrow night(Saturday). See the last two post for details of entering, and if you haven't entered yet..... why not?
Till next time.
