I didn't think I'd been doing much fiber work until I started pulling up the pictures. I've been doing a little of everything.

| Those bags of cotton I'd been picking at are now cleaned and carded. When they're prepared like this, they're called rolags. |
 |

 |
| Before Julia moved on to live and play with another weaver, we finished this gamp. |
 |
| I sewed a second pair of pajama bottoms. Some braiding that was left from the last couple of kumihimo projects worked perfectly for the drawstring. |
 |
| How cool is this?! I knit a tank top! The pattern is June Top Light from Petiteknit.com. The yarn is Summerlite 4 ply from Rowan. |
 |
| And this Moby Sweater is from the same designer. I'm having a blast with it! Most of the sweater knitting I've done has been knit bottom up, this is top down. |
 |
| I wove these kitchen towels maybe twenty some years ago. After hemming the edges, they almost look like new. |
 |
| The dry creek bed I've been working on...wasn't. Our rain gauge only measures up to five inches and it was full! Within a couple of days, all this water had soaked in. (In the background, you can see the California Lilac and Mahonia in bloom. Soon, all the bright green in this picture will be poppies! |
 |
| This is a waffle weave pattern I've used before from Simple Weaves, Sophie and I are making some kitchen towels |
