Aurora Sweater part X- felted and done!

Finished the final step for this project: felting all the seams!! i just used a washboard, hot water and dish soap. it worked really well. i just went around all the seams and felted them enough to bind but not so much to cause shrinkage. i let it dry overnight and today i have Eva coming over to model the sweater for some archive pics. will do something dramatic for the photos...there is a giant empty stainless steel tank here at the winery that i think i'll use for the pics. it's beautiful silver with interesting light that gets thrown around from the portholes. either that or have her out in the woods channeling sashquatch. this sweater is a little clan of the cave bear......

...she spins, she knits, she sews, she is superMom, she writes beautiful books, and now she felts...what can't this woman do?

This sweater is to-die-for, pure inspiration.

I tried to email... but alas... (re: VT yarn camp)

Yeah, I can now kick myself in the shins, for not getting on the wagon,
BUT, I would like to leave it all up to provenance and the universe, and
be added to the VT spin-camp waiting list.

If you need anything else from me, do let me know.

Cheers,
Sarah/ Haptotrope
