January is a strange mionth. Oddly enough, I look forward to the January rain. Sort of washing everything away. I like the cool and dark and I find myself working with a lot of grays in January. Gabi has had me working on a few custom pieces for her (happily in lovely grays) I’m going to wait for her photos with them on beautiful babies, rather than my IPhone pictures of them laying flat on a table.
Today I am tidying up a few things, Gabi is swinging by to pick up two hats and a pretty little surprise. As it was a rush order, I did not spin or dye either one of the yarns but rather treated myself to a skein of Punta and a skein of Malabrigo.in rich, rich, reds. Yummy. Pics from Gabi’s shoot to follow.
Kim and I lived large on the weekend and headed to Victoria for the day…which can only mean one thing….a celebration of all things yarnie. A trip to Beehive as well as Knotty by Nature netted us some pretty fab yarns and such.
My new prized possession, my Jordana Paige Rio Bag in green.
New lesson about the ultimate knitting bag……just because this purse can hold several skeins of yarn and tons of accessories does not mean you should fill it until bursting.
The 355 project is coming along nicely, although a great little 3 ply is slowing me down a bit. I’ll try to update with some new additions to the 355 page tomorrow. I’ve enjoyed this project immensely. Exploring my desire to spin and the yarns that satisfy me on a given day is giving me a deeper understanding of myself. Now more than ever, I find the yarns a finished result of my expression.
