Help save the WAHM's

On February 10th the new CPSIA law will go into affect, right now the law is written in such a way that ALL manufacturers of toys or clothing used by children under the age of 12 must comply. Most WAHM business's will be forced to go out of business or sell their items "illegally".

Please take a minute to vote here http://www.change.org/ideas/view/save_handmade_toys_from_the_cpsia and help save WAHM's like myself!

Here is the front of a pair of shorties I am working on. This is WSK Bella.

I also have a pair of ear flaps cast on for a quick Ky Baby hat -- previews to come soon just waiting for a head measurement so that I can cast on the rest of the hat!

These are pictures from early last week that I finally had a chance to upload. Things have been a bit nutty here with my seasonal night job and some medical issues going on with family. Hopefully I will be posting more soon!

This pair of longies shipped out last week. They are done with a small ruffle in WSK Cake colorway. I hope the mama enjoys them, I was just able to squeak out the length needed (there was NONE of the main colorway left and only about 6" of the trim colorway left).

I am also working on lengthening some shorties I did last summer for a customer -- pictures to come soon, they are out in my traveling knitting bag in the truck.

These longies are part of a trade they are being knit on 3ply purewool dyed by Kimi of A Twisted Stitch in her Campbell Shore colorway. It is so pretty and the colors are wonderful. The trim is a some 3 ply purewool dyed in a dark brown, I think it sets off the main colorway nicely.

And some new yarn arrivals. Some of this is spoken for already, but some skeins will be available for customs in the future.

Mosaic Moon on Targhee in the Goblin colorway

These are heading in the mail today. Done on 3 ply Purewool in their Hot Blue colorway with matching trim, seed stitch cuffs and cargo pockets.


This is a pair of longies on the needles now in WSK Cake colorway.

I also have another pair that I just cast on and have the waistband done, they are in my work knitting bag so I will be sure to grab a picture of those in the next few days.

Just a quick drive by post -- here are the hot blue longies in 3 ply purewool. I am working on weaving ends and grafting the gusset tonight and tomorrow I plan to work on pocket placement. The yarn knit up really nice and I am happy with how they turned out. I also have another pair of longies on the needles right now -- pictures to come soon!

This is a pair of longies done in Hot Blue 3ply Purewool with matching trim. I should have pictures of the legs started tomorrow.



This hat is shipping out tomorrow, I hope the mama likes it I know my girls are in love with it and will be sad to see it go. I really need to get going on their winter hats -- they love these hats in particular.



And the finished MM Treasure Map longies ready to ship as well. Hopefully I can get better pictures of these and the hat tomorrow, it rained all day here so the light was terrible and the true colors have not been captured.

Lots of stuff shipping today. First the two newborn sets these are shipping today. Both of these are on Mosaic Moon the first is Selkie and the second is Woodland in Spring.

This pair is shipping out as well! I am really happy with how these turned out very thick and squishy perfect for the fall weather we are having!

And last a newborn hat and booties set is shipping today, for a collaboration with my new Congo - Tied up with Strings. Stay tuned for some more sneak previews here and at the congo!

Here is the next pair of longies. These are Mosaic Moon Treasure Map with matching cascade trim. They are on some very soft BFL and are knitting up beautifully. I am just about to split for the legs (I am waiting for DH to get home so after we do supper and get the kids to bed he can take a video of how I start my magic looping to do both legs at once).
