at the Crafters' Market. My big seller was the colourful Mohair shawl I knit, recently. A lot of people loved my white Kitty in a Basket but there were no takers. I love it when a crowd gathers around my stall to watch me spin. At first I thought I'd be nervous and start making mistakes but even if I did none of the onlookers would be any the wiser. I love it when they ask me questions and I'm chatting away with them as I spin. Most find the hand spun dog hair fascinating. They inevitably take a quick sniff to see if it smalls like dirty dog and are more often than not surprised to discover it doesn't. I find I dislike it when people maul everything on my table and then walk away without a purchase but I dislike it even more when they stroll past my table without so much as a glance.
I did make a purchase at one of the other stalls. A lady was selling handmade soaps, balms and lotions and I bought four handmade soaps to felt.


These are bars of felted Ivory soap. No washcloth is necessary.
I found it difficult to felt the corners as the wet wool kept wanting to slide off. The lavendar and honeysuckle scented soaps I bought today have nice rounded corners and should be easier to felt.
