My New Favorite

These are a pair of custom longies for an awesome and very patient customer on etsy.

They are knit in my 'Little Miss Hippopotamus' colorway. I hope she loves them!

I have a new favorite, I love this poncho, not to toot my own horn but I think it turned out darling. I HAVE to make one of these for my own girls. OK, and the pictures are sideways. Not sure how to fix that right now, but I will be back tomorrow with a longer post and hopefully better pics.

Let the countdown begin!

Ahh the Christmas season is here! And it is going by way too fast! I can't believe we only have 2 weeks until Christmas and I am far from ready. The cold weather is here and we are supposed to get a huge snowstorm this weekend. Perfect because I am going to spend it knitting away! Here are a couple of finished projects. First longies in 'Savanna Life' dyed by me to match a goodmama in the Savanna Life print.

Also some yarn I did that was a whoops. I dyed up a second skein for a customer in my jungle rainbow colorway, but it turned out lighter, and voila, a new colorway. I am going to call it spring rainbow.

And finally a hudson hat I finished that is on its way to a new home tomorrow!

Happy December!

I can't believe it is December here, it was 60 degrees today, that is unheard of in Utah. I am grateful though because it means much faster drying time for my yarn! We got our new stove last week and I am finally getting caught up, if only my cestari order would get here... hopefully tomorrow.

I think I am going to close down to dyeing customs until January just so I can get a jump on my knitting customs. I've been working hard on Rachel's Savanna Life longies and they've been giving me quite a headache. The body turned out beautifully but the legs were pooling terribly so I frogged them 3 times and finally they are turning out nicely. I am almost to the cuff on the second leg and will take them to work with me tomorrow to finish during lunch. I enjoy seeing the reaction of those I work with, they just can't quite grasp the concept of longies, but I think I am winning them over.

I know I still have a lot of you out there waiting for me to finish your orders, I am working feverishly and hope to have most items out to you before Christmas so I can spend Christmas break knitting for my own kiddos.
