March Blowing Out


March seems to be marching along to fast this year and the wind has come up
again. There has been some discussion or brain storming in here the last few weeks on what customers are wanting to do . I have my own projects along with store projects. The above were suppose to be KAL but then plans got changed. The prune mix (purple) one is called Adia.
The yarn is Ultra Alpaca Light and the pattern are both from Berroco. The green one is an adaptation called Lily from the lilly of the valley pattern out of Interweave's Knitted Lace of Estonia and the light silver/lavender on as you can see comes from Wrapped In Comfort from the Martingale Co. pattern is Bigfoot. The light green and the lavender yarn are from Brown Sheep Nature Spun. The one on the right has plans of being finished soon as part of a KAL and there are thoughts of finishing the other two also.


Then there are always other thing such as socks several ways. two on circular and one on dpns.
I have a sweater started in Wool Ease and the orange (Color is Red Hots) is Sock Ease both from Lion Brand. The other is Red Heart Heart & Sole.
It seems projects abound at my location, I need to start a lap afghan for another baby due in July, have a bsj about 1/2 done, and then there is need of another prayer shawl also. I know the one from Christmas was well received.

February POOF Here and Gone


February was a cold damp one with rain and snow storms all of the month. The beginning of the year is a busy time with much paperwork to be done and it is also inventory time.
I did manage to get a hat finished for my Mom for Valentine's Day. As she likes red this one was in a hand paint wool alpaca blend which should go well with the weather.
Another hat was started to try and get things caught up[. This one is in Red Heart Eco Ways
Which is a recycled yarn That is working up nice.
For a dear friend, a charity project was started, I choose for the BSJ a Bernat Jr. Jacquards in a color called City Kids and it is working up in an interesting way.
