Things in the works.

There are quite a few things in the works here right now, behind the scenes. For instance, I've sent off a huge package of wool to be carded, and I hope that the outcome will be wonderful, and that I will hear about it soon.

When I'm saying huge, by the way, I do mean huge. German post is rather generous in what it lets you send as a parcel in the higher ranges of weight and size, and I did make the most of it. This is the maximum size allowed - 120 by 60 by 60 cm - and I stuffed it chock full with wool. So much wool that I needed a lashing belt to help close it. So much that it was much, much easier to handle with my husband's help (which he was so nice as to give, as you can see from the picture).



I'm also conspiring with a metalworker to get some more, and some different, pins and needles into my stock. This is still in the starting phase, and we're working on prototypes and figuring out things, but it already looks promising, and I'm quite excited about this, too.

Finally, my colleague and I are waiting for the last bits to fall into place for the Bernuthsfeld tunic project. As soon as this has happened, we'll be able to set a date for handing over the tunic and its accompanying bits and pieces - something that I am also looking forward to very much!
