Glass Beads? Whose Got The Glass beads?
I finished Miss Dashwood last week and gave it to my neighbor baby. Oh my but she is a beautiful baby! (Ponders for a moment trying again for a girl – Okay, NO, I am totally over it). Anyway, the bobbles on the hat are cute but they sure do suck to knit, especially in cotton. I am going to do the hat over again two more times for the other two baby girls on my street (all almost exactly the same age). I picked up a couple of cotton tape sweaters (worsted weight) last summer at a market here for $5 that were just for frogging. I will use those – I have bright orange, bright red and a luscious purple. I unraveled the purple one last night. I think I will make the bobbles another color – maybe orange. Take a look at the picture and tell me what you think. I remember when I had definite opinions about certain colors NEVER ever going together but last night I realized all bets were off for me. Purple and orange? Sure!
Okay, so I am sure you know what the glass beads are but do you know WHERE to find them? Kim Hart Designs click on the store link). Today is opening day for her! Were you coveting the sheep stitchmarkers? How about the fish? I know, how about some one of a kind, handmade glass buttons for that special cardigan? Go, go GO!
And now that the Herculean task of web design is mostly done for me (only Herculean because I am NOT a web designer, LOL), I am going to dye that yarn I talked about an entry ago. I am going to try the Wilton cake dyes first (for a baby sweater) and then I have a obtained a stunning array of Kool-Aid packets waiting to do a sweater for me. Hmmm, I wonder if I can make some self-striping yarn? Maybe I can make that board that was posted on Knitty.
Wendy and I are going to indoctrinate a newly arrived crafter (sewing) into the evil that is the local market. MILES of fabric tables, miles I tell ya. Oh and it wouldn’t hurt if the LOYM was there too. We are sadly approaching the time when “they” decide for us that yarn can’t be available at the market in the summer. WHY?
Thinking about doing Wendy’s flash your stash day. Gotta decide whether it is worth the sheer embarrassment of my yarn bulimia.
