Another Hand Dyed Beauty..
This wool was hand dyed by Melissa and I too! Isn't it GORGEOUS!
She has quite the eye for color. Can you believe that this was once a boring off white men's winter sweater? See with a little effort and a bit of creativity one can create. 100% recycled and repurposed. Now this is recycling!!!

To Post or Not to Post
I haven't posted in a awhile. I have been busy on my new line of fingerless gloves for the winter season. I can not wait to post them.
Here is my dilema:
I want to put them up but I am torn since this is a knitter's slow season. No one is looking for wool items in the summer. Unless, of course, it's winter in your country. Should I wait until fall or should I post them now? Not sure what is the right business decision here. Any suggestions??

Stitch Nation Yarn Review
I have to say that the selection of colors, for this particular yarn, in my A.C. Moore is nothing to write home about and the only color that I liked was the green. So, I bought it.
Let's just go over the mundane stuff first. It is called Stitch Nation by Debbie Stoller Full O' Sheep. It consists of 100% Peruvian Wool and is distributed by Red Heart. Net wt. is 3.5 oz (100g) and 155yds (142m). On sale for 2/$7. That said my first impression (besides the colors) is that it is scratchy. I would not call this next to the skin soft. Maybe a hat but definitely not for scarves, mittens or sweaters. (in my opinion, of course)
It also splits. I am not a tight knitter nor am I a loose knitter. I find myself right in the middle. As I was knitting along my merry way this yarn started to fall apart. Now I have done a bit of spinning and I am able to put it back together but I just don't think that I should have to do so. It happened to me more than once while knitting and sewing up my seams. Not impressed AT ALL. Also, I would not recommend this yarn for beginning knitters due to this very fact. I would think that I was doing something wrong when, in fact, it's the yarn that is faulty. Furthermore, this yarn would certainly not hold up to much frogging back due to the lack of its durability & it is fuzzy nature as well. (like mohair).
So, would I buy this again? - probably not. I can find better wool at my LYS for about the same amount and in better colors.
My advice - save your money and get better wool.

The Georgian Wrap
The Olympics have started and I have been glued to the TV. Those of you that know me are familiar with my Olympics addiction. I watch it all - even the boring events. So during my long hours of watching I have been busy with my latest creation - The Georgian Wrap!
I like the bold classic blue and the ripple pattern to its collar. Yes, it is even reversible! It measures 12" wide and 80" long. Soft and warm. Made of 100%wool. I decided to use a stockinette stitch to make the ripple stand out. I know you just have to have one too! Well the pattern is coming. I am making sure that there are NO ERRORS like my last debacle. Enjoy!
