Been Busy

I started the purse. You knew I would once I strung the beads. Stringing the beads turned out to be easier then I thought. So here it is after 7 rows.

And here it is at 20 rows.

I only had small amounts of time to work on it but am really pleased with it. You work the bag in one piece so I have a total of 124 rows. If I really sat down and worked on it I don't think it would take too long.

I, of course, can not just do one thing so I also dyed roving yesterday. I chose the merino tencel blend and really like the shine it has. We will see how it looks when spun but I think this might be a new favorite. Very soft and did I mention the shine.

Here is the other color combo I did.

I also finished the other spinning I was working on so hopefully I will have that skeined up today and photos of soon. Plus my yarn for the Dream Sweater is supposed to be here today so one more project to add to the pile. I think I have fiber related ADD.
