I was on YouTube watching some Vickie Howell goodies. She had a "how-to" make baskets with rope. I went to our local hardware store and they had clothes line. I grabbed a skein of yarn that changes textures and colors as you use it. I made the basket in the picture. Here is the link to see how to make your own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8tyB5jg64w
Enjoy! I had so much fun...I made some of them for senior gifts. Success!!!!! I intend to make some to hold our table supplies at the studio!

So I have been very busy with yarn. Notice I said yarn....I have done some cleaning and have recycled some of my yarns from some of my old projects that I will never use the garment again. That has been very therapeutic! I have been rolling them up. Tinking has been at an all time high at my house! Some I will reknit for me and some will make some great charity hats!!!
Then I finished my second design for Expression Fiber Arts. Liquid Agave is the name. Just finished the writing the pattern and shipping the shawl to Chandi. Well let you know when the shawl is featured on her site. I used a stitch that I found in one of Mom's old knitting books. I knitted in some fingering yarn with wool, cashmere, and silk. The blend and the stitch combined was like liquid!!! Can't wait to share it!! Getting closer to opening back up...I just don't have the 6 feet social distance if several of you come to studio at one time.....of course I LOVE having you all there at one time!!! Oh yeah! The Vogue Knitting Live that travels around the country through the year with classes and vendors decided to have their Oregon one virtually. Yesterday, I took my first class and I have 2 more. It is all with Zoom and it is fantistic. You get to see upclose what they are trying to show you. They also have the different vendors go virtual and show their shops and yarns. Then you can shop with them on their web site. All are giving show discounts! Loving every minute of it!!! I also for the last 4 weeks have been doing virtual yoga for knitters. It is fantastic for my arms, shoulders, and hands! I joined her group and will get a weekly class each week. Geneva....I know you are proud! Stay safe and Knit On!!! |
