I have been busy!
I am currently working on a few patterns for Gathering Yarns –
- Cats in the Cradle – baby blanket or shawl with coordinating beanies.
- Funky Brimmed Hat with Bad-dana Cowl – Hat modelled by Glorious Gertrude
- Caahh…shmere with beads swatch – lusious lace tank in the future.
- Cashmere beaded Fingerless Mitts – The Bee’s Knees!
- Cable Cool Balaklava and Mitts
- Cable Cool vest.
For fun times in the future – beautiful handmade glass buttons.
Ada made the beautiful buttons – Ada Babys Beads on Facebook – and I made her this hat with her favourite hearts! I finished the hat with one of her buttons.
Well, I got the first box from the Beyond Merino Club (hosted by The Small Bird Workshop and Sweet Paprika. It contained 2 hanks of gorgeous, soft Corriedale sheeps wool from the Falkland Islands, one a natural grey and the other a beautiful deep Lagoon blue. Sweet Paprika did the dyeing. I made a half hap shawl. I finished it with I-cord edging and a couple of big, fat tassels. It will be part of the Happiness Hap pattern – coming soon!
We are planning the next session of classes for Mad About Ewe Fine Yarns. I am planning to teach Mosaic Knitting. The first sample is done – a funky little Cloche – finished with a little tassel. I do love tassels. It is knit with Fleece Artist BFL DK and some Drops Kid-Silk.
For myself – I am working on a sweater. I just started it last night. And like most sweaters for myself it will most likely get stalled along the way! You never know! I might surprise myself! LOL!
It is pretty. Some soft mohair from Fleece Artist and a just a few little beads for show!
Be well and knit Happy!
I am trying to stay mellow and keep with the flow that comes with knitting. I hope that works for you too!
