I hope everyone had a wonderful day today! My husband and I had a fantastic weekend together. Went to a live show and dinner with friends on Saturday, and today after church went to pick up two truckloads of firewood for next winter. It's hard to believe with summer coming on strong that in a few months we will be oh so cold again! I have been very busy creating warm winter wear for that very purpose, and have even written a few of my own original patterns for fingerless gloves.
Lately I have been working with Pure Virgin Wool, which is wool that has been spun for the first time. This wool is a bit coarser than some of the silkier blends I work with, but is still soft, fairly light-weight and wonderfully warm! The great thing about pure wool is that it is warm even when wet, a big advantage for those of you who live in more humid climates where rain can be a regular occurance. The natural lanolin that is contained in this wool makes these garments water resistant in cold, damp weather. This Pure Virgin Wool comes in Butter Cream, Oatmeal, and Weathered Bark.
Wishing everyone a great week!

I love fingerless gloves! Are you going to post a photo of some?
