I do knit too, although not very much. I've mostly knitted up (or woven) the wool I spun and dyed, so I don't have too much of a stash left.b This is a scarf I knitted from some bought hand-spun and -dyed cotton.
These two, are bits I did and then later just put them to use, as a curtain and as a tablecloth. They are a bit too chaotic, but they'll serve their purpose for now.
This next one is actually a weaving a did back when I used to spin and dye wool. The background is white, handspun, undyed mohair and the embroidery was done with dyed, handspun mohair.
This is an old one that I got stuck with and still haven't completed. It has to do with my attitude to living in Africa - the exhilaration and the despair of all the situations we get ourselves into. I'm sitting watching, sometimes, puttibng my head down in despair, sometimes cheering. It needs something - but it's already so busy (my life!) so I haven't got to what, yet.
