kits

Busy, Busy, Busy, I finally received the Glam Grrl base yarn and have been working on getting them dyed for The Loopy Ewe and the Trunk Show at SWAK in the City on October 23 and 24.  This picture is a small sampling of what I have been dyeing.  I have really tried to make sure that there is a lot of diversity.  I will be getting this off to UPS and The Loopy Ewe tomorrow. 

I am really looking forward to the Trunk Show at SWAK later this month and of course seeing Wendy again.  She will be teaching several classes at SWAK and I am so happy that I will be able to spend some time with her again.  I highly recommend classes with Wendy, she is an excellent teacher and a very talented designer. 

Speaking of Wendy, she and I are in the process of collaborating on a project.  To be honest I approached her a few weeks ago and asked if she would be interested in putting a kit together including one of her shawl designs and some of my hand dyed yarns, specifically the Luxe cashmere base yarn.  Today she posted pictures of her finished "Stacy Shawl", I complained about the name but she said she likes it, at least she doesn't know my real name. LOL  I am amazed at her creative design abilities.  Seriously, I contacted her and before I could dye the yarn she already knew what she was going to do.  This is really a very exciting project and I am looking forward to knitting my own "Stacy Shawl".  I am hoping to get the kits together and ready to post by next weekend.  Like Wendy said, I agree that this will be a wonderful quick gift idea.  I hope you all will enjoy it.  I will be dyeing many different colors for this project, feel free to let me know what colors you would like to see it in.

I have been working away at Emily's "Order to Chaos" and it is coming along very well.  It is going to be HUGE,I am estimating that it is at least 5 feet in diameter so far and I still have half of chart D, all of chart E and the edging to go. 

If you notice the first picture in this post all those skeins are laying on the shawl and will give you some idea of how large this is going to be.
