This is my new best friend, Timmy, the CEO, mascot, code monkey, manager, top banana at ThinkGeek, one of my favorite websites on the planet. Timmy has commissioned me to do a little knitting for his convention wardrobe.

Gulf Breezes
I’ve neglected to share my latest design with you. This one is just perfect for summer. It was designed for Sunflower Yarns June Simple Pleasures Kit. (if you are really lucky their might be one or two available still). I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sunflower’s Farmington yarn. The color is rich and lovely and the yarn handles nicely.
Things I Learned from Camp
We are starting to settle back into a routine after summer camp. The kids had a blast and I learned a few things too. Here are a few I thought you might like to know about.
The long awaited…Because I Felt Like it – A tutorial (Part 4)
Seems like ages ago when I posted the rest of the felting tutorials. This one was a bit delayed because the photos came out fuzzy and had to be retaken so please ignore the multiple backgrounds. And now for the long awaited conclusion to the continuing drama of As the Wool Shrinks.
Lesson 4 – Felting isn’t the last step. Or Blocking is Important. Really, really important.
One of the first things you will notice when you finish felting your knitted piece is that it sometimes looks very little like the desired finished product. That is because most felted items also require blocking to look the way they should.
To Market, To Market…
My friend Lucy is mad for market bags. She positively loves them and she has been nagging me for ages to come up with a pattern for one. Well Lucy, here you go.
Green Chic
Everybody is going green now. This market bag will help you save the earth while still looking stylish. The lace panel stretches to accommodate all your shopping. You will swear the bag is bigger on the inside. And if you don’t want to bring home groceries in it, the bag makes a great project bag.
