New. . . More new

New fun markers in my shop. This set is Lizzy, or Elizabeth Bennett. I picked the colors of the pearls at the last gem show I went to. I Made a Jane and Kitty set as well. Only now am I realizing that Kitty is really Lydia and I have made an error. AHHHHH. I wonder who will notice? I will fix it but maybe I will leave it up for a week and see if some one tells me. You never know.

A view of my More new box. Some of these will never get listed and many of them will only ever go to a fiber or knit show. Two weeks or so before a knit show this box is much fuller. If you go digging though the box you often find what colors I have been most drawn to recently. Lots of orange recently and sea opal blue.

Enjoy and let me know what you think of Kitty aka Lydia. I am a dork.

I spin you spin we spin

Just a little of what I have been spinning up. The colors do not look as great in my picture as they do on the wheel. I have about 120 yards. I am not sure what I am going to make. The color fades from great greens to lush purples and velvety blue.

Give me Stirpes

I am on a kick to find the perfect sock yarn. What does it need?

It needs to be be in shades of green and gray and it needs to stripe.

Why these colors? It is all because of Studiorent's beads. I have some and they really are quite lovely. But this set of beads is setting me in a spin.



If you know where I can find this colorway please let me know. I am in a desperate search....and I am not unwilling to dye it myself. Stringing yarn for stripes is always fun for my cats.

If

If you have ever gone on a long drive with me you know.....I call out cows and barns.

If I had my choice I would wake up to something like this every day.

My Goals

My Goals are half done.

House work has been added. I groan at housework even though I know it needs to be done.

Can I get house Faries to clean my house? Ones I never have to see they just do it while I sleep?

Back to work.

Hearts.

My goal.

I have several Goals for this week. One of them is to make some more of these necklaces. Red and black, red, purple, and a jewel tone cascade of color in different size beads. I just like the picture and the necklace looks good on everyone.

I also have at least five sets of my new stitch markers to take pictures of and list.

Two holiday shows to apply for. The handmade Nw show at pioneer sq and the DaVinci show at DaVinci.

I also have a little paper work to finish.

Three packages to mail off.

Ready set GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Back to Fall

Fall is here again. The trees out side my house are no longer green but yellow. YELLOW. When did that happen? It seems way to early for trees to become naked.

One of the many great things about Fall is Halloween. Sonny has Halloweened the house already. There are witches, pumpkins, and black cats adorning walls all over the house. Makes me want to knit a black spider web....I wonder if there is a pattern for that?

Enjoy the day!

Little Things

Little things have kept me away.

I keep thinking I will have a few min to sit down and update the blog and my website. It just keeps getting away from me. I have been spending a lot of time working... and of all the crazy things knitting.

I pulled out a couple really old projects that have just been sitting waiting for years. I also went though my knit, dye, fiber library. I love books. I can not part with a one of them. Some of them are old, but the info inside has not changed. I even found a stitch dictionary with all sorts of unique stitch patterns. Not one or two styles of shell pattern, there has to be 7.

Such wonders.

just for fun
