my work is having a drive for goods and supplies for a local domestic violence shelter. their need includes art supplies.

I had a box of acrylic yarn that I took in and today I stopped Michael’s to pick up some more stuff.

I got some yarn (it was on sale!!), crochet hooks, couple sets of straight needles and a set of double pointed needles.

Me? I’m still working on the bunny… It has a head, 2 ears, a body, 2 arms and one leg. Not much hopping goin’ on around here yet.

See ya!

hello – just posting from the wordpress app on my iPod.

I am knitting another bunny, this time for a friend. Pink was requested… So, pink it is.

When I was at Loopy Ewe, I was really drawn to this yarn. It’s Malabrigo Worsted weight yarn in the colorway Oceanos.

Like with the other yarn, I only bought 2 skeins, but when I got home, I decided I needed to order another skein to use it for the pattern I had in mind for it.

It’s so squishy & purty.

Remember this shawl that became a treat for some little bug?

Then:

Well, I finally ripped it out, washed the yarn and started reknitting this shawl. It’s going pretty well. It’s gives me lots of knitting therapy and the colors are pretty.

Now:

I lost several inches due to splicing the yarn back together, but all in all, it’s looking very much like it did originally.

I would like for you to meet someone.

His name is R.B. (short for Rainbow Bunny).

My very first handknit toy! (The pattern is ‘R is for Rabbit‘)

He’s kinda handsome, don’t ya think?

Hi. Yes, I’m still out here in the world. Is anybody out there?

It’s been a challenging year… during part of which, my favorite yarn store closed. I really only knit on one thing this for most of the summer – black rainbow shawl (the stripe study shawl) and I only finished it this past week.

These photos are pre-block. But I really like how it came out. Not really stripey, which I really like. This shawl is for me. Maybe one day I’ll make another one.
