Check out my Mom!

My Mom taught me the basics of knitting about 5 years ago, so she gets all the credit for what my obsession has become. If you ask my Mom, really if you ask anyone who knows my mom if she knits they would probably look a bit confused. See my Mom doesn't knit she quilts, and she quilts a lot. I convinced her awhile back to start a blog about her quilting, so go check out the beautiful work my mom does! You can find it all here: http://katahdinquilts.blogspot.com/

Just a few pictures of the massive amount of snow we got last night. When I went to sleep my van was red with no snow on it -- when I woke up at 7:30 this morning here is what my van looked like (my husband shoveled the right side of the van so he could get out to go to work.

The top of this ladder was clear last night -- I didn't measure but that is at least 24"!

And a shot of the backyard - very pretty this was super sticky snow so it has that winter wonderland look!

And now the woolies -- making progress on the skirty, this is one skein (well I haven't knit the last foot of it). I plan on adding the second one as soon as I am done with the soaker for underneath. I needed to add the soaker to get a better idea of length -- skirty length can always be decieiving especially with these twirly skirties because they don't lay flat until you get the soaker done.

And a shot of how far I have gone on the soaker -- this should be mostly done by tonight so I can get back to work on the body of the skirt.

The Blooming longies are finished and will be shipping out tomorrow.


My next project is a skirty on Three Irish Girls Meg dyed on Lindon Merino this is coming out really nice and the yarn is WONDERFUL to work with, I can't wait to finish this up :)

Here is the project for this week. A pair of longies on Mosaic Moon Blooming (on Targhee). I am just about to split for the legs so these should be done by this weekend.



This came in the mail today 2 skeins of Meg by Three Irish Girls on Lindon Merino this will become a skirty next week :)

I know I haven't posted to the blog in a bit but I have been very busy -- doing lots of knitting!
So we will do a quick catch up.

These longies will be heading out this week these are done on 3ply Purewool in their Chocolate and Crema colorway.

These shorties shipped out last week they are on Cestari Superfine Merino in Western Sky Knits Bella colorway.

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.
