Yarn for the bazaar

Hungry anyone?

This hat is knit with 100% Peruvian wool, hand-dyed with kool-aid. The sushi set was knit with 100% cotton yarn, with the exception of the Nori which was done in wool. So yummy!

I can sew too

Imagine that! LOL. What craft do I not do? The top 8 dipes are Scarlett's and the bottom 3 I made for Bella in trade with Jessica.

The oh-so-fun process of dyeing roving

A whole lotta balls

Some of the wool balls I felted this week, and a cute face thrown in for good measure!

The sweetest model

Sweet Scarlett Pearl in her Picky Pants knit with Loro Baranquerro colorway from Malabrigo merino. Knitted hat courtesy of Erin, another Sewing Mama. Shirt dyed by me, and diaper sewn by me.

Longies & wool balls

Ah geez - I am so blog-clueless. I can't figure out how to get these pics in the right order! These longies are knit from lovely Uruguay merino in Vino de Borra, with Marron Oscuro trim.

Some roving I dyed to make felted balls with.
Another pair of longies for Scarlett. These are also knit with merino from Uruguay. Autumn Forest colorway.

These are the Summer Sunset colorway I dyed a while back.

And finally some felted wool balls. These are up for sale in our shoppe. www.NurturingThreads.com

I've been busy!

Sorry for no updates for so long. I've been busy sewing for the grand opening of www.nurturingthreads.com . Check us out! Jordan's Sophie bag that I dyed and knit for her.

Wicked Wench colorway. One skein went up for auction for Patsy, and one skein I kept.

A soaker I knit for Bella on the left & a matching one for Scarlett in the middle. One more for Scarlett on the right from my Georgia Peach colorway. I knit that a long time ago, just forgot to take a picture.

This dress is up in the HC, but it is soooo grogeous. If it sells I will dye another for Scarlett.

Jordan's Sophie bag per-felting.

Jordan's first dye job

Jordan is participating in a magic yarn ball swap with some of the local girls. She wanted to dye her yarn, so I let her do it all herself with some koolaid. All I did was wash the yarn for her. This is her "Autumn Leaves" colorway. Done with a mix of Black Cherry & Cherry, and Mango.
She also made stitch markers for inside and made some extra for sale. She already traded the bottom set for some wool. That's my girl. Building the stash already. LOL.
