Shetland Triangle Shawl

I knit the Shetland Triangle Shawl! Actually this is the second time I've knit it. The last time, it wasn't as big as I liked. I tried to unpicked the edging and re-knit a few more pattern repeats but I screwed it up so I ended up frogging it.

But now?! How's this??!!!

You can't beat me, shawl!!!

Details....
Yarn: Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn
Needles: Size 6 US Knitpicks harmony needles
I used the entire skein of yarn (plus a few yards for another skein to finish the bind-off.)

Koolaid Dying Party!

The Erie, PA SnB had a dying party for the birthday of one of our members! Dying with koolaid is fun especially with friends.

Because I canNOT resist a bag....

....I almost always have one on the needles or in front of the sewing machine. Here's the BYOB...I've actually been meaning to knit for quite awhile. To my surprise, there's an updated version of the pattern.

Other than the fact I've gonna have a bunch of ends to weave in, I actually like how it's knitting up. Pretty straight forward directions. It IS alot of seed stitch (which I HATE) but I love how seed stitch looks so....::shrug:: I made do.

Here's the finished denim bag from the last post.

I'm not 100% in love with how it looks; I was actually going to sell it at the next craft fair but I'm just NOT in love with it so....I saved it for myself.

And how about an updated Jaywalker Sock ?! I'm actually a bit farther than this; I've finished the first and started the second sock.

It's Been Exactly A Month....

....and I still haven't even STARTED on my apron like Amy's. Oh well. I'll get to it! I have, however, been VERY busy.

After buying my sweetie (who's a tea aficionado) a cast iron tea pot, I thought, what would be the perfect gift for it? Something I said I'd NEVER knit??? Yea. I know. A Tea cosy. ::RME::

Here is the set complete with hot pad. I used alot of wool scrapes I had because it would keep the warm for the longest. Cast iron + wool= warm tea for hours!!!

I've also been going BAG CRAZY on the sewing end. I started (but haven't finished) a denim bag from scrapes, of course!

I'm not 100% sure I'm in love with the shape of the pieces or the pieces that I cut so this may change.

Sometimes....I even SEW! (who knew?!)

I've just completed my first craft fair where I was selling hand knit items (washcloths mostly) and my bath and body products. It was the first craft fair as official Dragonfly Lake Scents and Bunny Spun fibers by one of the best spinners I know. It was great!

Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea for us to have aprons to handle money in and keep other things while we're "working" etc. So without further ado....here's Amy's Apron!! (Mine to come soon!)

Smaller and Warmer...

So. The weather is attempting to get a little warmer and I've got startitis. So I've been knitting smaller type projects and trying not to cast on ALL. THE. THNGS!!!

How's some Jaywalker socks sound?

Dishcloths sound like a good idea too...

Oh yea! And my bestie, girlfriend and myself did a craft fair!

This is alpaca yarn spun up by my bestie!

And this is the table all set up and ready to go! I was selling soaps, body butters, body scrubs and washcloths/bathmitts.
