WIP Wednesday: Dragon Fire Pullover, More Stripey Socks, and Some ColorSamples

I know it's been a while, but I have made quite a bit of progress on my Dragon Fire Pullover. I am well into the lace dragon and have just divided for the sleeves and am currently am working back and forth on the back.

Autumn Fiber Festival: Stash Enhancement!

While the rest of the knitting world had their eyes on Rhinebeck, NY this weekend, I spent most of the day Saturday at the Autumn Fiber Festival in Ashland, OH. (That's about 1 hour away from where I live, Rhinebeck is more like 9 hours.).

Shop Update!

I officially have yarn in the shop!  Click on the picture above to check it out.  I hope you enjoy.

FO Friday: A Stripey Ball Sack

Yes you read that right, this cute little pattern is called the Ball Sack by Jennifer Sugarman. And, as the name implies it is a sack to hold your center pull yarn ball (cake).

WIP Wednesday: Dragon Fire Pullover

I have been chomping at the bit to start this sweater ever since I saw the pattern in my Ravelry Pattern Recommendations. It became even harder to resist after I picked out the perfect yarn in June.

FO Friday: Hallowig

All finished is the Hallowig by Megan Reardon.  I made this on US size 8/5 mm needles with some left over Red Heart With Love from a couple of previous projects. 

WIP Wednesday: Hallowig

For the past few weeks I've been pretty distracted from my knitting, now that I'm splitting time with the dye studio. I have however been working on the Hallowig pattern by Megan Reardon from the Fall 2004 issue of Knitty.

FO Friday: Stripey Socks and Some Yarny Goodness

I had every intention of having these socks done by Tuesday to be in time for some Knit-A-Long's that ended on Sept 30th. I sort of got sucked into the dye pot this weekend and didn't get to work on them mich at all. By Sunday night I was about three inches in on the second sock. So I decided to buckle down on Monday and get them finished by the Midnight deadline. I worked on them all day from the time I woke up with only a few short breaks, you know to eat and whatnot. I was so close but as I hit the point where I needed to start decreasing for the toe, I looked up at the clock and it was 11:55 pm. 

Fail.  I was so sore and tired I just dropped the sock and went to bed. It remained in timeout for a few days and yesterday I was finally motivated to finish them. You know, so I would have something to show today. I absolutely love them! Even though I've been wearing them all day, and they are now completely covered I white dog hair, I still can't stop looking at them.
