I'M DONE!!!

I am FINISHED for the semester! I am going to SIT ON MY BUTT and KNIT ALL DAY! ...as soon as I clean up the kitchen and living room and do some laundry.

The firing of the wood kiln went very well, the salt worked and glazed the pieces. All in all, I was very happy. I also made pictures.

Opening up (for anyone into ceramics, that's cones 8, 9, and 10 FLAT on the top shelf!):



What I turned in:



Now this blog can resume knitting content!

Salt Kiln

We are now in the process of rebuilding the kiln at a different location so we can salt fire!
