Beautiful wool roving hand-dyed by artisan Susan Hensel.
And the most amazing needle-felted columbine made by Danielle herself. She said she modeled it after one of my pictures.
I love this flower so much! It's displayed on my computer desk where I can admire it often and be reminded of my trip to Colorado, the mountain wildflowers I saw there and friendships that begin in the most unexpected ways.
Danielle blogs at One Day at a Time. She's looking for the perfect pattern to use for a beautiful skein of laceweight yarn and has turned her quest into a contest. It would be great if you could stop by and share your ideas.
This weekend I went to my favorite yarn shop, Twisted Yarns, to search for just the right extras to go with the bluebonnet seeds I'll be sending to Danielle. I was very excited to see that they have started to sell roving. Of course, I couldn't leave without adding to my stash.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise, indeed! You deserve it. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe flower was so clever and what a nice bonus with the roving. Have you got a project in mind for them?
ReplyDeleteThat felted columbine is so pretty. What a great gift indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little gift. Coumbine is such a pretty flower.
ReplyDeleteTracy, please don't feel obligated to send my anything. I swear the roving just leaped into my hands of its own accord. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoy the flower; I'm always a little nervous about sending my work to other people because I'm so hyper-critical of my own stuff. But I had so much fun making that flower, that I really want to try more now.
Iowa colorway! I am so excited! I think I am most excited about the lack of ugly old corn yellow in the roving.
ReplyDeleteThe felted flower is lovely! Danielle is very talented!
