I did manage to work and complete a few projects this summer. During my road trip in July I was able to stop by Mary Berry's Fancy Fibers Farm and pick up the fleeces from ZZ Top and Cocoa. Once I got home it was hot enough to wash ZZ's curls outside using the sun.
I put his curls in a bath of water and Dawn dish detergent and let it soak. Every day I changed the water for clean water and new soap. Once I felt that it was clean enough I did a few rinses with just water.

| Day 2, 3.4. 5 and 6. Yes, it was like waiting for water to boil. |

| Drying time! |

| Laura Nelkin's MKAL Juego finished! |
My favorite knit of the summer was Jared Flood
Girasole pattern in Hazel Knits Artisan Sock yarn Hoppy Blond.
I also knitted a sweater called
Chimney Fire by Melissa J. Goodale. I just need to photograph it. I used Zen Yarn Garden Serenity worsted in Moon Purple. The yarn is Merino/Cashmere and nylon.
Regards,
Karen
