Ducks, Leaves, and Knitting

Yay!  I did get the ducks done on Tuesday. 


In this picture, you can see the front side on the right side duck and the back side of the left side duck.

I had planned to mount the ducks in the railing back-to-back, but I really like seeing both sides.  So I may stagger them in the railing, so you can see the front and back of each duck. 


ducks sort of in context


I also started working on loads and loads of leaves, for the upcoming Driftless Festival in Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin.

Some of you might remember that I knit and crochet.  Now that the weather is cooling off, I felt the urge to knit up a hat.  I used some of Whimzypinzy's handspun and dyed silk cotton blend yarn to get started on this beanie for my daughter.  It has one purl stripe of a fuzzy caramel mohair.

I should get that finished up tonight or early tomorrow morning.

  2. Your ducks are beautiful! Glad to know you're fibery too. See you next year at the Wi sheep and wool festival. It's a blast. And I know what you mean by hyperdrive. Can't believe how many projects that are still in my head and not on the loom; and the Driftless Fair is only a week away. See you there

  4. Fabulous job Kirsten...I saw a flock of beautiful geese fly overhead today. They have such a long arduous journey ahead of them my heart always goes to them just a bit when I see them leave for the winter.
    I know those are ducks you've created, just thought I'd share..:D
