Like many others, I have created blogs for a variety of purposes. To get to a second or another subsequent post can be tricky. I've already worked over 65 hours this week at my job. Putting time into this is hard. Thankfully, I'm excited to share some fun things and progress on my first couple of patterns.
I ordered yarn...I can't believe I did it. The goal is to use it to create samples of my ideas. I've ordered a variety of yarn from Knitpicks. I don't want to sound like a constant advertisement for Knitpicks, but it's such a great source of inspiration and color. I'll share some pics of my most recent LYS (local yarn store) purchases soon, so you know I that I love to support them as well.
I was most recently at NW Wools in Multnomah Village (http://www.northwestwools.com/). It's practically walking distance from home. I purchased a couple of speckled skeins of fancy sock yarn (https://madelinetosh.com/rainbow/). Look for the color "Radness" which is the first one on the second line on my screen. I love bright colors. This was a birthday present for me...the best kind.
Ok, to the patterns I'm drafting. If anyone is interested in testing or working through my draft as I am, please let me know. I'm starting with a cropped cotton boxy top. I'm using lace and fingering weight yarn. I'll post pictures of the WIPs assuming I get farther. I'm working on both a knit and crochet version of my vision.
Have a great week!
I'm following you! Too creepy?
ReplyDeleteUgh, I don't know how to work the internet. Not sure why my comment is anonymous. That IS creepy. This is Gilly :)
DeleteThanks, Gilly. I need to find an awesome prize for my first follower and maybe a few prizes for others too.
