Baaabs' Apron

Baaabs, the Lantern Moon Scissor Holder Sheep, is sporting her new apron. Just received it today from Paradise Fibers. It is THE accessory for the fall. Now, I will always be able to find my cable needles; how great is that!

Bacchus Socks

Just finished this cute pair. For this project, I followed Alice Bell's Bacchus Sock pattern from Interweave Knits Fall 2008 collection. The yarn is a Merino(70%)/Tussah silk(30%) blend from Paradise Fibers which was spun by yours truly. :) This was a fun pattern to knit. The inside of the leg is in a twisted rib pattern while the outside has a vine with bobbles for flowers. Tres cool!



Dye Day

Had a fun day dyeing rovings. I achieved the colors by injecting dye solutions into the wool rather than dipping or soaking it. I think I will turn them into sock yarn.


Trixie, tired of waiting for me to come out and play, decided to take a nap ;)
