new colorways are fun!

this is inspired by the blueberry farm that is part of my fiance's family's land in upstate new york!!! the farm is called timberland, but that didn't really "do it" for me. so i'm calling it "blueberry hill" with a dose of sweet summer sunshine.

Personal post....and one custom update

I know this is suppose to be a "business" blog, as you would have it, but I can't stand NOT sharing these pictures. Plus, they are wool related, thus making them relevant. And if you try to disagree....wool karma will be amongst you.

So, without further ado!!!


My feeling better little Elliot Bean in her new capris.

not the best picture, but toes ♥

Also, Heather, your yarn is dry!

As some of you know....

my daughter was in the hospital recently fighting MRSA. We are home now, thank goodness, but I'm behind.

Of course, this comes to no surprise to those of you that know me and know....well, i'm always behind.

But here is what I've completed this week. And there is much much more that is almost done, but not quite.

Sister Bear on Marr Haven. This is being stocked tomorrow at Baby Bean Designs

Mosaic Moon Winter Pear on Cestari for my own daughter!

Pop Rocks I'm not really sure what I will do with it....yet.

Comfort Wool Stickball dyed by my wonderful partner, Lauren.

Lisa's Handspun, Pink Lily

Tentative Plan for this Week

I'm going to try to knock out as many of my outstanding customs orders this week.

Monday and Tuesday: Heather ~ RFR is dyed. BB is dyeing tonight (tuesday)
Tuesday and Wednesday: Kim ~ Bear is half dyed, finish wednesday.
Friday: Ship everything.

a newborn set....

awww.....makes my ovaries ache.....

Just another rainy Wednesday....

Lisa's handspun is plied, dried and set. Well, half of it, anyhow.



Kjersti's Claire trim is done and ready to be shipped.

still raining....

yes, day three of non-stop rain. I'm sure the Pacific North Westerners can sympathize...or think i'm a total wimp for not being able to deal. Since moving from Seattle, I can't stand the smallest bit of rain.

I snuck out amidst the short lapse in rainfall yesterday to snap a couple of photos of the shorties I finished for Elliot (that I wouldn't let her wear until I got a final photo of...)

Also, the two bobbins of Lisa's handspun, pre-plying. The twist is being set as we speak. Only four ounces to go



And I realize this is totally maniacal and narcissistic of me...but I was sitting on my bed with Sky, admiring how far I've come in my knitting...and I started talking about how I just think they are the most perfect pair I've ever knit, and how I love them....of course, what he hears is "blah blah blah yarn blah blah blah knitting...."

And he responds "well then, tell the customer you're keeping them."
WHAAAAAAAT?

They aren't for a customer. Why don't men listen?

Weekend Updates...
