            the yarn is so beautiful.

I thought today since we’ve been having
l
o
w
s
here in Vermont
in the high 30F to low 40F
(in the evening mind you)
these colorful arm warmers should see the light of day.
created them last winter
when I was contemplating 
how many ways can I make a sweater
without
really
making
a
sweater.
needless to say I keep myself well entertained.
hey, what can I say:
winter is looong here.
they’ll be available soon for purchase here: gallery

which reminds me: I need to put images of the knit cuffs up as well.

truly inspiring: this HUGE luminous pink flower.
we’re talking over 8 inches in diameter!
just beautiful.

pattern #87 how to believe your intuition
crocheted and fulled
with hand dyed mohair locks needlefelted to the bag.
available here: Studio Kim Marie 

new work.
soon to be available.
done up in a favorite yarn: Kureyon by NORO.
 

this beautiful hand painted spindle will be on its way to a new home soon!
created by talented spindle maker Jen at Crowhill House Fiberworks.
who can resist?
turning colorful fluff into a yarn of changing hue with such a lovely tool.
