I’ve been keeping a progress bar of my knits. The goal is to beat last years count of 152 with 160 possibly dreaming of maybe 175. I’ve been blessed with some awesome repeat customers so that really helping out!
The past few weeks knits are
Just off the needles, BFL Capri's Custom order
BFL Longies Custom Dye Longies in Silver Blue & Purple On the way now to Australia
Skirty with attached shorts. I used Cascade Jelly Beans for this and I love the color way. Any girly shade of pink or purple with greens blended in.
Another skirty, this is with my colorway “Oh Baby!”
Alpaca & wool blend longies, can I tell you I fell in LOVE with Alpaca? So soft! I KNOW I’ll be using it more often now that I’ve played with it. Our LYS Grinny Possum features local a spinner that (have to remember to get her name) produces some WONDERFUL 100% Alpaca yarn. Can’t wait to get my hands on that! I plan to use a lot of it for warm winter longies. This was a commercial Alpaca, very nice but the other…oh. I figure I’ve drooled on enough skeins I really have to buy it. Besides, I’d rather support local!
A pile of …well, you’ll see in a few days, a new venture!
OK, A sneak Peek! The “Diva” was not to be bothered so more photos another day!
Longies on the needles, ready to split for legs
I know once spring is here to stay and the garden starts growing I’ll be busy so, I’m trying to get a jump on things. I have a pile of other shorties in the works that I need to complete.
Yep! Been busy…And, I got my Kidlet fix this weekend. Rachel and Hayden came down from Indy…He’s gotten so big!
We played all day & had a blast!
How was your Saturday?
I feel positively lazy compared to you. Good work!!
ReplyDeleteI already have 100% Alpaca in the shop and I'm totally in love with it!!! Unbelievable soft! I'm into Alpaca these days. Working with the Alpaca-Merino-Bamboo and the Alpaca-Silk right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm knitting a scarf/wrap with an alpaca/bamboo mix, it's lovely to work with and has a lovely sheen to it.
