Things accomplished today

Well today has not been a stellar day. Sick baby and I am not feeling so great myself. I got a pretty decent start on a pair of shorties in Selahs Hidden Lake colorway. They will be stocked in the store for the Grand Opening!!

I dyed some brown trim yarn to go with the blueberry patch yarn (above) for a custom pair of shorties that is next on my list. As soon as it is done drying I will be knitting those and getting them on their way to their new home :)

The purewool shorties for mr. Brighton and his mommy Katie will be shipping out tomorrow - as they are finally dry :)

Once I finish these two projects i have going I am going to knit up a couple of soakers using a new pattern I found. We shall see how that goes- a new adventure! LOL

Finished Brightons Shorties

Here they are!! They are done :) Just finished washing and now they are drying. Excuse the bad pic - it has poured here all day so no pretty outside pictures :(

Can't wait to see pics of them on him. They will ship out as soon as they are dry. :)

Shorties for Brighton

These are my current project for a customers son Brighton :) They are 3 ply purewool dyed by Better bums :) The colorway is called lake eerie and they it is really pretty. This is a side view of the shorts on the needles so you can see the short rows in the coloring :)

These should be finished within a day or so and after washing on their way to their new home :) I will update with pics when i finish :)

What I have been working on recently

Here is a little catch up to let everyone know what i have been up to.

I tried my hand at hand-dyeing yarns. While I did have fun and end up with some cool colored hands :) I am not sure it is something i will do all the time but more just when the mood strikes me. I definentely bow down to some of the awesome dyeing WAHMs out there
Here are the results of my foray into hand- dyeing

I have also been busy knitting away.
I finished a pair of shorts this week for a friend of mine Mary's son Eli. The colorway is beautiful it is Oregon sky dyed by my friend Lindsay at www.hyenacart.com/kybabyknits She does beautiful work.
I dyed the trim to match and was very pleased overall with how they turned out. I made these and 2 other pair I am working on for testers for my pattern i have created.


Once they test them out I will be making up some things to stock in my store along with some embroidered surprises :)
