Citron

I used Southwest Trading Company's Bamboo for this project and have had the yarn in my stash for a long long time.  It was given to me (taken from?) my mother a long time ago and I wasn't quite sure what to do with it but when Citron came out, I knew. 

The project took my a little less than a week to complete, working on it in my off time (not plentiful during finals week) and I blocked it for a day before taking these pictures. 

Sorry no WIP photos, I'm very bad at taking those, but I think that since it was such a quick project, it can be forgiven this time.

It was nice to work on and complete a project that was just for me :)  Ravelry details here.

Custom Scarves

Yesterday I finished up two custom scarves by finally attaching the fringe and labels :) For some strange reason it always takes me a little longer than it should to finish up with the fringe on things and I'm not quite sure why? Regardless, I love both of these scarves and am excited to see them off to their new homes!

The first is a simple lace scarf in a hand-dyed merino. It is very soft, very cozy and very long:

Second is this gorgeous leaf lace scarf out of a wonderful alpaca and silk blend called Miracle. so soft and wonderful to work with! I used up two skeins completely, nothing left :)

Red Lace Slouchy Beanie

Recently a friend asked if I could make her a red slouchy version of my Golden Yellow Lace Hat. Here is the finished product! If you would like your own, don't hesitate to contact me, I can make them in any color and style you like :D
*oh and when my blog reaches 100 followers, I am going to do a big giveaway ;)

Blueberry Pie

Another beanie in my Pie Series, I introduce to you the Blueberry Pie Beanie! Similar to the Lemon Meringue, this beanie was knit out of a very soft, very warm merino held together with an amazingly soft and fluffy acrylic blend. It was knit in a wide rib pattern so that it will fit snuggly on just about any head size. I realize that my Key Lime and Blackberry Pie beanies never made it to the shop, so they will be added this week as well :)


Oh, and that Lightly Cabled Red Beanie has been added to my shop this morning!

Coming Soon!

I have been working on some beanies this week, check the shop frequently to see all kinds of new designs :)

A lightly cabled red beanie, knit double thick for warmth and made out a durable, machine-washable yarn.


A chocolate cabled beanie that will have a flower pin to add to its charm :) Knit out of superwash merino in a dark brown heather with specks of blue and orange throughout.

The Enchanted Forest Bag - Finished!

So I finally finished and took pictures of The Enchanted Forest Bag that I mentioned back in this post.

I added D-rings to the straps for a little bit of hardware and a pocket on the inside to hold chapstick, change or keys.

I also have a shrug to be listed sometime in the near future (tomorrow or the next day).

And I finished a Hamster Hammock for Delilah that I am thinking about offering custom colors, shapes and sizes for.

What do you think?

What A Weekend

Well, so much for enjoying the romantic holiday, snowboarding the slopes of Red River or doing anything else excessively lovey and icky and fun. Spare you the details, but basically, I'm trying to get back in the swing of singlehood. Got my own place, no roommates except Delilah, it gets kinda lonely but its not too bad, I can have my friends over whenever I want, so I'm trying to stay positive.

Besides that, I listed a new hat today, its a red version of this light green one I listed last week, very chic, very warm.

What did you do this weekend?

Finished!

I finished the slouchy beanie I was making for myself with the Baby Alpaca from my first swap package (can I say Thank You enough oh spoiler?)

Anyways, here it is, and I love it and I haven't taken it off since I finished it except for sleeping and showers :)
