Breathtaking Teri! Do you have any kind of lining inside? How long did this take you?

wonderful jacket Terri, I am very impressed. Usually they do not look like they will fit properly.

No lining Marilyn, just wool Thanks Ann, it fits me really well as a spring/ autumn jacket but I don't think I would be able to wear too many layers under it so it might better suit a UK size 12-14.

Your jacket is fabulous Teri, I adore the colour combo and the locks, it looks so toasty warm, now I want to see the other two you talk about,

Gorgeous jacket, Teri. Love the design and the locks. How much wool did you use? Did you put some lining underneath?

Here is my pathetic entry for the quarterly challenge. I attempted vessels again, hoping not to repeat the "Edvard Munch meets the Sock Monkey Puppet" piece. Both vessels were made on the same resist. the green one is all merino; I even hand-carded black and green fibers to get the monochromatic color. The brown one is merino on the inside and alpaca on the out. I wrapped pieces of silk between layers and covered them with painter's tape. My reaction is 'Meh'.

I like them Elizabeth. What don't you like about them? They are perfect for the challenge.

Elizabeth you make me laugh! That is such an evocative image but your pots are lovely, I especially like the stripy effect on the brown one, that's a clever idea to sandwich contrasting silk between wool. As Ruth said, they are perfect for the challenge.

I think they look rustic especially the brown one. Of course I love the turquoise one. My colorway!

I like them both but I like the green one better.

They are wonderful vessels Elizabeth! The green one is a good example of blending for the monochrome challenge and I like the gradual colour shift from bottom to top. The pattern on the brown one is amazing. I would be proud of those!

I think they're gorgeous! You must have very high expectations if you think these are just 'meh'.

Terrific vessels, Elizabeth! My fave is the brown one…reminiscent of some southwestern pottery I have seen. Nice work!

Thank you all. I guess they photograph better than they appear in person. They're kind of lumpy. I had a hard time blending in the 'shoulders' at the top of the resist. On the brown one the silk moved a lot more than I wanted - one side looks OK and the other is very bleh. The green one started with the green locks separate and hanging out, but it ended up looking like a very sorry aqua tutu. So I pulled most of them out.
