I'm still around!

Sorry I haven't been keeping the blog updated with all that I've been knitting and dyeing lately but having a 1 year old and a 3 year old will do that to you...

I am working on some designing knitting patterns and knitting and dyeing as much as ever! Check back for updates soon!

Here are some pictures of the most recent yarn I've dyed...

Cotton Candy Merino for a Ridinghood Sweater

 

Cashmerino in RefreshMINT colorway intended for a Pasha hat for myself!

A Sweater for Bilbo Baggins

This is a sweater I recently finished for a customer's son... I like to think of it as something a Hobbit might wear both because of its small size and the lovely fabric created by the thick-and-thin handspun yarn with which it was made.  This is the Sleuthing Hoodie pattern by Tina Good and I am now open for customs for this sweater as a licensed knitter!

Contest Winner Sweater

I just wanted to share some pictures of the sweater I made for the winner of the Facebook drawing...

Bring on the Fall Weather!

It is a BEAUTIFUL day here in Texas, it has dipped below the 90 degree weather of late Summer, and so I made sure to block my daughter Delilah's Fall longies this weekend!  They are all mediums, some medium longs and a couple with extra-long legs that I will fold up and will hopefully last her longer than one season. She still needs a couple more pairs but I am very busy knitting the sweater for the Facebook contest winner (almost done, pictures to come soon!) and a few custom orders so I wanted to share what I worked on last month...

 

 

New look for the blog!

My new logo has arrived (if you haven't noticed the drastic blog change)!  I am excited to order recycled hang tags for the items in my shop with this adorable logo I had designed on Logo Design Guru, a website I highly recommend if you are needing someone to design your logo, website, or business cards.  I am busy working on the sweater for the winner of the Facebook drawing and will have new in-stock items coming soon!

Summer is coming to a close...

So I named this yarn "Last Rays of Sunshine" for my friend Kelly's daughter.  It's Organic Gaia Merino, so squishy-soft!

Linen Stitch Longies

I'm excited to see how some of the yarn I've dyed is knitting up! This is an in-progress shot of a pair of linen stitch longies with an elastic waistband that I'm making from the "Girl Scout Camp" colorway on Gaia Organic Merino yarn. You can see the yarn in its original hank form on the first post on my blog!
