Yarn Along..

I have been wanting to knit Mara's 'Rose City Rollers' sock pattern

for what seems like forever.  Finally got around to dyeing up a yarn that felt right

for the pattern..  

.."Modern Gingham"..

Inspired by my favorite vintage gingham garden shirt.

Orange Knits Designs 'Rose City Rollers' pattern is beautifully written,

easy to follow, and fun knit!  Please be sure to check it out on Ravelry.  You'll be running for your sock needles.

Reading:

I love survival stories and have NOT been able to put this book down.

It must stem back to my childhood and the little jar of ashes (that I still have)

that my aunt sent me when Mount St. Helens erupted.

Now that I think about it, that little jar has a gingham lid.

Yarn Along..

This week I have been working on dying "similar" color ways.

While the colors are similar, the dye still finds its own path to the yarn 

creating a truly unique skein of yarn.

I love that.

I am calling this

"Late August"

Couldn't resist purchasing this book.

I am feeling the need to let my fingers be free and explore.

Gratitude

Hand • made (hand • meyd) adjective Made by hand, rather than by machine

It is with sincere love and gratitude that I share this with you today.

Some of my hand spun, handcrafted yarns.

Created with love.

A little piece of me lives in each strand of fiber.

Every inch passed through my fingers ~ start to finish.

Time to spread my wings and leave the nest.

I am so very grateful.
