Finished Project, etc.

This is my latest finished project, a Confederate Civil War uniform for the son-in-law to be of a friend. The suit was a surprise gift from the bride, so it has not received a final press in this photo as we expected that there may be alterations.

Made from a commercial pattern from a well known company.

The colored part of this Valley Vogue hat is my handpsun soy silk spun super thin and single ply:

I am currently spinning the last of the luscious alpaca roving that I received from Northstar Alpacas and planning an original scarf design for it.

Today I received the cutest card from nadineandkathleen :

I was the lucky 110th person to heart their shop. Mine is two shy of 150 hearts and I am now trying to think of something to keep the appreciation going.
