photos from last week's event

One of my friends posted photos from last weekend's event on her blog. The writing is in Swedish, but there are lots of photos (mom--page down to the bottom--I am in some of the middle photos, and the one on the very bottom, too).

And I have a photo of the spoon I carved on site.

my new hood

Back in 1999 khevron and I took a trip to Ireland, during which I purchased a beautiful hand-woven shall in a soft blue and black twill. I loved (and still do!) that fabric very much, but I am not in the habit of wearing a shawl, so I have rarely used it over the years. In recent years I have thought that I should make something else out of the fabric, and in April I finally decided to do so. The shawl was exactly big enough to do a hood and matching belt pouch. I believe that I have mentioned the project here before, but this time I have photos:
