A Few Sheep Shy of a Farm

This is going to be fun!

Since we’ve had such a great response to the idea of the Mystery Kits we have decided to create a Yahoo! Group for Mystery Knitting!

The group will be for those who are knitting or are interested in knitting our Mystery Kits. We hope it will be a place for knitters to turn to if they get stuck on a project, to pass on ideas for future projects, discuss yarns and colorways and most importantly to show off our finished Mystery Kits!

We also plan to give the group an early “heads up” about new kits and perhaps a few other surprises from time to time . . .

Oh, isn’t this a fun quiz?

Knitting

I’m working away on the Leaf Lace Shawl today. Now that I have the hang of the repeats this is actually a pretty easy lace pattern and I love the way it looks! Very pretty. This would make a great holiday gift. Of course, this one I’ll have to hold onto as a sample for the business, but this is going quick enough I may just have to knit another as a gift . . . not that you won’t get to see pictures of it too!

Before I do a second one, I’ll likely do a scarf or two from the new Scarf Styles by Pam Allen. There are a number of them that I really like, but I think I may start with the Ruffles Scarf. I’d love to have a sample of it one of my yarns and to be able to offer a kit for it . . .

Inspirations Update

Yesterday I was able to add the first of the spinning kits, our Basic Beginner Spindling Kit. I’m also working on a Deluxe Kit and on deciding which spinning fibers to offer in our handpainted colorways. The colorway decision is going to take some experimentation to decide so it may take a little while.

Speaking of colorways, I’ve got swatches for 3 new “Solos” coming later today, thanks to my MIL for some quick swatching assistance! I just need to block and photograph them so I can work up the pages.

Okay, well, lots to do so I’m off!
