Dudleyspinner Tie Dye Roving Teaches at Arkansas Fiber Arts Extravaganza Sept 18-20 Hot Spgs. Arkansas

This is the hat I am working on for the Free Form Crochet Class. I used the flower loom with Unspun Roving  the flowers are then crocheted around and attached to each other. I have a method of decreasing that works very well to take a flat shape like this and shape it into a hat.  This hat may become an earflap hat. It seems to be heading that direction.

Wrap the unspun roving around the pegs, I went around twice

Pull a loop through to the back, slip stitch around the center until it is secured.

I used a needle felting needle to secure all the ends, making a tidy little flower.

I will crochet through the loops to create the next scrumble.  Though each loop, chain 3 seems to make a nice smooth piece.

Dudleyspinner Tie Dye Roving/Combed Top: It's A Wedding Afghan

I am knitting this afghan for a wedding this fall. It is going to be quite large and match a rug that the couple has chosen for their new home.

Dudleyspinner Handpainted Tie Dye Wool Roving Combed Top/ Crabapple Cove

This is Crabapple Cove a combed top hand dyed roving that I spun up. I spun it from one end, then navajo plyed the singles into a three ply yarn. Tune in tomorrow to see the finished yarn. It looks a little like a watermelon when plyed.
When a piece of roving is in my inventory for a while, I usually end up spinning it just to see how it will look when done. I think this yarn may end up as socks for me, if it stays in my inventory too long.
