Oh, do I have a plug for you! Do you like stitch markers? Henya of ChickenStitches has just entered the stitch marker field on Etsy, and hers are different and adorable. I bought a set of cat markers and they are so cute. Now we have to convince her to make earrings. Hint, hint, hint.
New yarns: I had more but one of you grabbed 3 that I posted on Ravelry, so we are down to 2 left, but really spectacular yarns, both of which are Alexa.
Here's Purple Mountains. This one is deep purple with a bit of overdyeing here and there of lilac. I know, it doesn't look remotely like lilac, but that was the dye I used. isn't it grand? Way out of my comfort zone of pastels, but I do love it.
/>And then here are 2 yarns, dyed simultaneously, which is very rare for me, and using a new technique, the same one that I did on Purple Mountains. So you can buy one or both, or I can swipe one for me.
Yes, I know, lots of pics of Santa Fe Sunset, but I'm trying to show you the yarn the best I can.
I just did 10 new skeins, 2 pastel, the others ranging from dark to medium. The dark mojo was with me today. They are soaking wet, and won't be here until tomorrow, I hope.
Henya - I love your stitch markers, and now earrings? whoo hoo.
Sharon - It's sock weight in Alexa, which is very soft. There's enough yardage to make a long or wide scarf, but not enough for a shawl.
itsJUSTme-wendy - Evil laugh! It's even prettier in real life. very evil laugh.
Thank you very much for the plug. I am so happy you like my kitties I gave in and ordered the thingies needed to make earrings, and key chains, and lanyards... As they say "coming soon..."
ReplyDeleteI love that purple!
Purple Mountains is the most gorgeous color. Just breath taking. Is it a lace or fingering weight. I think it would make a drop dead shawl.
ReplyDeleteOOO, I love that dark plum color! You are really tempting me aren't you.
