She Was Twisted

Go get em now!

my esty shop

This is the beginnings of a new elf hat for a customer. She requested red, black, and white/silver. I found a gorgeous variegated red yarn that I combined with a dark charcoal wool and a shiny silver-grey. I love the way the colors are working! It is made to be a loose fit so that it doesn’t flatten your hair every time you wear it. Easier to pull on and off too without all the static. (well, at least not as much!)

I finally, finally, finally got to making some more Monster Knitting Needles. It has only been like, FOREVER, since I last updated. I had forgotten just how darn cute they were! I was on a roll until I found that my glaze had separated into water, making itself completely unusable. So it is taking a few days longer to get everything in order.

Update soon!

I’ve finally updated the blog with a whole new look. Yay! Next up, I will be updating the shop to match. Should be live here in the next week or so.

So I leave you for now with some eye-candy from my etsy shop. See you real soon!

These can all be found at my etsy shop:

More to come soon!

I just listed a few more yarns in my etsy shop. Aren’t they purdy?

This yarn is on its way now to become hair on a handmade Waldorf doll. Pretty cool. I blended the wool on my drum carder and spun it corespun over a thin wool binder. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I will post a link once Theresa has a chance to make the doll.

I thought I would use up some of my handspun yarn that has been sitting around for awhile waiting for projects. So I knit up some simple fingerless gloves.

The yarn is called “Parade” and it is 72 yards of bulky Merino/Falkland wool, that I spun into a self-striping yarn and plied with an acrylic thread. I BARELY made it with the yardage, so next time I will make sure to have more yarn before I start. I followed the pattern in The Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns (Interweave). (I can not tell you how much I adore this book!)

But I think they are quite pretty. Very soft and squishy too!

I almost forgot to post that I updated the shop the other day with new Handspun Yarn goodies. Here’s a sample preview:

Yummy! All are family-friendly and potty trained. Go have yourself a gander.
