We're Back!

Hiya from a.,

Sorry for how long it took us to get back to posting, but moving and settling in always take longer than you think they will.  I am pleased to say though that we should at this point be back to regular posts, as both of us in the last couple of weeks have been creating a lot of cool stuff.
I have a couple of little bits to show you.  The first is some yarn that I spun.  I went to the fibre store that isn't too far from where we are currently living as I was able to get some cool stuff.  I got some Camel, a Llama/Silk blend, an Alpaca/wool mix, and a funky batt.   The batt is standard Corriedale wool but mixed in were Sari silk threads.  I did a two ply and here are the results:
Now being a two ply of a small batt it isn't a huge amount of yarn, but it should make a nice trim, or funky addition to some other project.
The other thing I have to show you is a bracelet.  It isn't anything elaborate, but it came out shiny and pretty I think:
It has a nice brass/copper/amber look. 
Next post will be r. with some bitching art projects he's done recently.

Take care,
a.
