I'd knit that

Something up on Etsy!

2010-07-22T17:33:00.000-07:00

I finally got off my butt and took some pictures of the sparklies. If anyone is in the market for stitch markers please go to my etsy page!http://www.etsy.com/shop/bellaluna79

Some other stuff I have dyed in my slacker phase...

2010-07-18T15:23:00.001-07:00

Sport weight superwash wool-A lilac and pink mix, and a trial of my mad hatter colorway. DK weigh wool/alpaca blend-experimental cheshire cat colorway. And this is the reason I haven't tried to sell anything yet. So far I have been unsuccessful in keeping the furry helpers out of the finished works. And now I will have to soak them before putting them up for sale ><

Productivity at last!

2010-07-18T15:01:00.000-07:00

This weekend I was productive. Friday night I overdyed 9 balls of yarn that I had obtained (probably in a fit of yarn lust), but had not ever found projects for. Saturday I made 9 sets of stitch markers to put up for sale on Etsy. Don't look me up yet, because I haven't take pictures of the stitch markers to go up, but they will be there soon, since my yarn diet does not end until I can sell

Slacker!!!

2010-07-08T10:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry to be such a slacker lately. I have dyed a few balls and am trying to get motivated to post pics and possibly get a ball or two up on etsy, but my avakitty has been having issues with his hind parts, and I have been spending too much time with baby wipes and cat heineys. I promise I will have pictures of the new pretties up soon, and I may even get a chance to dye another ball.

New Yarn to Dye!!!

2010-06-04T13:38:00.001-07:00

This morning I paid for an order of superwash sport and alpaca DK bases. I am terribly excited and I hope that the Alpaca yarn is as soft as I want it to be. I love alpaca! Also on order are samples of some silk, alpaca, wool, and mohair mixes. Look forward to fun & colorful skeins and if anyone has any ideas/requests let me know! I can potentially get 6 different colors out of this

The plans for this is to split the large orange ball into two sock sized cakes. Then I can use either be blue or green ball to do the toe and heels. The other ball will be fought over by my knitter friends or will serve as a gift. Right now I am leaning towards using the bluer coordinating ball.

Take Two

These I can theoretically recreate within in reasonable expectations! I love them both the purple green is in the process of becoming Dragonscale Mitts.(http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dragon-scale-gauntlets). My husband has claimed the blue ball for socks, but if anyone gets attached to these let me know and I will make another ball!

first foray into dyeing

2010-06-03T16:51:00.001-07:00

These are my first time dyeing. I think I like them both, but I have no idea how to recreate them. These were prior to when my OCD note taking started.

2010-06-03T11:26:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah, and I have three mischievous kitties that I adore. I am sure they will have to be part of the blog too, since they have to be an integral part in everything I do.

2010-06-03T10:28:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am new at the whole blog thing, which like everything else probably means I have missed the blogging boat. Hopefully someone will read it, and hopefully I will start putting up pretties for everyone to drool over! : ) Just give me a day or two to figure out what I am doing.
