A sad day

My dear, beloved father passed away on Monday, November 25. 

My heart is broken. 

My new convertible

Scarf that is!  I used Anzula Squishy and Madeline Tosh sock yarn to weave this scarf adding three rows of lace on one end.  I attached three small buttons to he opposite end and used the lace as buttonholes.  A scarf or

a cowl, choices are good. Sweet. 

Weaving!

Took a class at Alamitos Bay Yarn Company. Got a cricket rigid heddle loom and have been weaving ever since. The rhythm of the shuttle and heddle is so soothing. Even warping this loom is easy and relaxing. Weaving is a great stash buster as well. Having the best time with my new delicious loom.

Yarnivore bites at Viking way.

Oh today was my birthday and the yarnivore was hungry for a yarnbomb. There are several statues of children in the Village so I chose them. They were delicious!

Neapolitan baby

Several friends are having babies for which I love to knit. New mom"s color choices just add to the fun. Here is a baby blanket and matching dress I knitted for a coworker who is due soon. I used Classic Elite 'sprout' for the blanket and 'seedling' for the dress. 100% organic cotton and wonderful to knit with. The blanket is 'baby sunshine' and is a semi-circle.  Brilliant for so many reasons, it is my new 'go to' baby gift.  The dress is a modified version of 'orange creme', a simple and fast top down that whipped up in an afternoon...delicious.
