Card Tricks

Here's what's on my design floor as of this morning:  Card Tricks.  As usual, I'm doing this with English paper piecing.  Yep, I know, it takes forever and sewing it on the machine would just zip along, but I love this method, and can do it any place and any time and am not dependent on the machine.  It's sort of like knuckle ballers in the baseball world:  we EPP folk love our weird little method.  We're not the norm, but who cares?



Dyeing:  I'm doing a large job for Sock Madness 7.  Three colors to choose from, and priced very very well.  Unfortunately, first class international shipping is going up drastically on Sat, and that affects my international customers.  The rates are doubled, which is just awful.  Domestic is fine as it is.  If you're on Ravelry and are in the SM7 group, you can buy in my Etsy shop.  You know the password for the good price.




Knitting:  Making a baby jacket for the Bunny Child.  No pics yet.  But it's very cute.

It is nice to have handwork to carry along and get something productive done during down time.

they are very pretty blocks. I think that each of us find a method we love and perfect it! Nice blocks. The yarn is gorgeous too.

The yarns are awesome.

I'm doing some paper piecing myself. Hexagons, and I really am enjoying them.
