Now I Can Show You

My Loopy Ewe swap 2 partner Heather has her package, so now I can show you what I made for her. Lace isn't something I have knit a lot of, so this was kind of a first for me. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Here is my finished Gossamer Stars Scarf from the Summer'08 issue of Interweave Knits. I used Chameleon Colorworks Bambino in Eggplant, which of course I purchased at the Loopy Ewe.

That's it. I don't have anything else done or any new yarn. I am going to the Estes Park Wool Market this weekend, so hopefully next week I'll have some cool fiber-y stuff to show you.

Been A Long Time...

I was surprised to see how long it has been since I've posted here. Oops! I have been getting stuff done though. Well, when I'm not wasting my time on Ravelry. I have finished my project for my Loopy Ewe swap partner. I can't show you pictures yet because it might ruin the surprise for my partner, but I will show you.

My newest order from the Loopy Ewe . Wooly Boully in Blue Bird and Alpaca With a Twist Fino in black. The alpaca is so soft, it's heaven. Of course that may be partially my love for alpaca talking, but I don't think so. I'm going to use it to knit the Honey Bee Stole. It will be my first big lace project so we'll see how that goes.
Monkey socks knit in Claudia Handpaints Peppermint Mocha- a Loopy Ewe exclusive colorway.
These are Spirited socks by Bellamoden. The yarn is Sunshine Yarns Soft Sock in Tree Frog.
On a unrelated note- I made gravy from scratch for the first time in my entire life last night! I was rather proud of myself. We won't talk about how long it took me to learn to make gravy.
