"I can fit in there, you know why? Because I'm little"
Okay, so, if you hadn't thought about seeing "The Fantastic Mr. Fox". You should change your mind! Mr. Fox really is "Fantastic". And the details on the puppetets is just amazing! I want to be one of the people who knits tiny sweaters for puppets. How does one go about getting such a job?
The yarns pictured are hand dyed by yours truely with kool-aid (yes kool-aid!)and are up for sale in my etsy shop. There are two 100% wool sock yarns, and then two skeins of this great wool silk blend that I just love! I have dyed a whole bunch of it red for a project for myself (which will be revealed at a later time). I have re-opened the etsy shop finally! Huzzah! I'm quite proud that I finally got around to doing this.
I'm currently working on several projects. I have this lace scarf thing that is supposed to be a store model for the shop I work at, Knit On!. I have been working on this thing for ages. But the trouble is I keep putting it down. I get project ADD so easily!
I'm also working on a pair of wristwarmers from this great sock yarn in super bright colors. Once they are finished I will be putting the pattern in my shop! I have also just purchased rovings for to dye, and I am working on plying a yarn right now that is just super! (it's orange and green, and beautiful!). I plan on buying some nice dyes in the next few days, and by next week or perhaps the week after there will be hand dyed rovings in my shop as well!
I have this idea that I want to write up all the patterns I create and possibly one day publish a book. Lets see if I ever do it shall we?
