Tartan Scarf

It is good to be busy, but it sure does take time away from blogging! Life has been go go go lately. I'm in the midst of getting ready for Black Sheep Gathering, which is happening June 19-21, if you happen to be in Eugene, OR then make sure to stop by and say hi! You can even see this lovely scarf (rav link) in person:

It was a quick weave for my learn to weave class. It used 1 skein of my MIU Superwash Sock in color Tartan! I dyed this yarn on purpose to make lovely faux-tartan scarves. Just wind the yarn onto the loom and weave! Simple!

Looks like it will be all ready for fall. When I took it off the loom my husband immediately asked if it was for him. Sorry dear, but I need it for a sample in the booth! Maybe when I retire it, he can have it. Though, I have a few more skeins of yarn in the stash which will be perfect for him too!

Mini Skein Rainbow

I have wanted to put together a full spectrum of my yarn for sometime. Thanks to a rather large order from Knot Another Hat, I can do it in Mini Skeins. All of these and many many more will be delivered to Knot Another Hat this afternoon!

New Colorway: Tartan

This yarn is named Tartan. When I was a child my family annually attended the Scottish Games. I loved the bagpipes, kilts and different woollen tartans representing each clan. Today we can cheat a little and use this yarn to make our own tartan. Just one skein and you can weave your own faux tartan scarf!

New Colorway: Kite Boarder

This yarn is named Kite Boarder. It is named after the kiteboarders who frequent the Columbia River at the port of Hood River. Every summer they are on the river with their bright colored designs and billowing sails

New Colorway: Lupine

This yarn is named Lupine. It is named after one of my favorite native Oregon flowers, the lupine. I love the beautiful purples and blues this flower produces, often against a darker background of woods and wildlife.

New Color: Crazy Quilt

This yarn is named Crazy Quilt. I love the look of Crazy Quilts. How they have all sorts of different colored cloth together with embroidery stitches over the top. When I dyed this yarn I knew it had to be called Crazy Quilt.

New Colorway: Bluebird

This yarn is named Bluebird. It is short for Bluebird of Happiness. Every time I see it I smile and it makes me happy.
