Saori Banner

Ok....I know what you're thinking, but.....   I bought a Saori Loom...love it.  I know I had two rigid heddle looms but now I still have two and one is has a new happy home.  So, just did what came to mind this first time....the saori way....  Love that it is hanging in the yard.  Hope the animals love it too.

A Different Sock

Ok....those of you who know me and sock knitting, know that my preference and what I wear most is thick raggi knitted socks.  Love the making of them and the wearing of them.  So when I purchased some sock yarn from Wild Hair Studio, I wasn't sure how I would feel about the knitting.  I have knit socks on 1 and 2 needles, but not my favourite to knit.  I am knitting these socks on a 4 needle and enjoying every minute.  The yarn is so soft and wonderful to knit with.  Cheers to Wild Hair and their sheep.

They will be at the Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival over Memorial Day weekend so you can pick up a bit for yourself.

Fair Isle in Merino

Ok....I'm surprised I'm saying this but this Woolfolk Far is the softest yarn I've knit with.  Every stitch was a pleasure.  Can't wait to work with it again.  And a special Thank you to Estelle for modeling for a photo.

Knitting More Alpaca

Ok......this was heaven to knit.  While attending Madrona, we witnessed the Drachenfels shawl everywhere....I mean everywhere and everyone had one.  So many different yarns and colours.  Just had to make one.  I was fortunate to get some yarn from  Black Wolf Ranch....beautiful and soft.  This is my version.
