I am on a Scarf Binge

You may recall a previous post about my new scarves, both the one I knit and the one I bought for myself. Well, cursed Ravelry turned me on to the Chevron Scarf Pattern by Joelle Hoverson:

And now I have spent many a countless hour in front of my computer screen trying to track down just the right combination of multicolor sock or hand-dyed yarn to make the most beautifully striking Chevron Scarf ever.

I have 3 batches of yarn coming.

One of them is bound to work.

I am obsessed.

On a related note, I discovered delicious handspuns from etsy seller rivulettecraft today:

Multivitamin

Margie's Choice

Dreamin

¡¡¡YUMMY, YUM, YUM!!!

PS. Pears are Back!

In case you haven't visited my shop lately, I recently added a batch of Mini Pears. These are even minier than before (about 3 1/2" high) and I have a batch of medium-sized pears on deck. They just need some little leaves added and then they will be posted!

See My Scarf

I found this gorgeous handspun from SeeJayneKnit Yarns some time back and just had to have it. The colorway is amazing! Teals and purples and golds and burgundies...gorgeous! I knew that I wanted to knit up a chunky, warm winter scarf with this stuff so here it is:

Similarly, I have had my eye on Tolani scarves for some time now. Admittedly, the fact that they have become hopelessly linked to candids of Jessica Alba made them a bit of a turnoff. However, when I saw this number on ebay, I just had to spring for it:

And, yesterday I placed my order for the Jane Origami sweater kit from Perl Grey:

I just cannot wait to get started on it. It is sure to be a lot of fun if not a bit of a challenge...Looks like it should be nursing friendly, heh? Speaking of, I may not get a chance to get started on this one if it doesn't come soon...

A Very Special Message

I don't have a problem with the recent proliferation of motivational message prints; they are just not for me. However, on the heels of the passing of my mother-in-law and best friend, this one discovered on etsy today by seller littlestflower seems appropriate and deeply meaningful to me.

My First Pattern

I came up with this little Jo cap over the weekend. As it is a simple design that can be completed by a beginner-intermediate, I decided to post it to my shop at the fantastic price of only $1.50! Check her out!

An Homage to Other Felters

I discovered the work of Lorraine Linton today through her new etsy shop, and was positively blown away by her designs! I have never had the patience to master intarsia or duplicate stitch with any degree of skill; a shame really because the felted effect is gorgeous! Inspired by my find, I decided to put together some images of work by knitters/felters who are far more talented than I. Enjoy!

String of Pearls

This Pearls of Fiber necklace that I just posted in my shop is hopefully the first of many. What fun to make, so many possibilities and color combinations!

Darcy Gets a Name Change

I posted these little lovelies to my etsy shop last night. Somehow the name became Chelsea in spite of myself (pregnancy brain)! So, Chelsea she is! More colors coming soon...

Flower Baby

If I hadn't taken this picture of myself, the shirt would read "Flower Child"

Even though outside it is gloomy, today I am feeling sunny. I decided to wear my Flaunt It! of Hawaii's Flower Child maternity tee for the first time! This color combo is no longer available, however if you click the alternative below it will take you to a listing for a different color (and even more color combos are available; $22 each).

Blue Flash

I am sure that I am not the only one who has noticed the recent obsession with and proliferation of Labradorite and Rainbow Moonstone jewelry. I, too, am smitten and feel that I must add a flashy blue gem to my collection! Here are some of my favorites:
