Took advantage of the 2 dry days in between snow storms to block this shawl on the table outside. It seems dry enough now that the next round of snow is here!
Yarn is Mount Vernon (100% merino) from Cestari Sheep

I just took a needle felting class at SCRAP RVA & then got felting supplies from my LYS. NGL it felt nice to take a break from the news for a few hours
Also: stay tuned for some fun garlands & other goodies made w/ local fibers. I think it’s going to be super therapeutic to st@b some wool repeatedly

I spent my day unplugged (though I did have PBS running for viewership numbers).
I went to the thrift store, enjoyed a local park, and finally got around to setting up my Libby account. One day down…hopefully only 1,460 to go…sigh
