It is a New Day at Tempted!! 

It has been a long time in the coming and a long road to get here.  I have dreamed of a real working website with all the additions that I really wanted for a year now and look here it is.  There will probably some more additions before it is over but for now this is just AMAZING!  Finally found someone I could trust with my baby, not like just anyone would understand the importance of sheep hair. I 'met' Kate through a mutual friend (Darthknitter) and once I had taken a look at some of her work I was hooked.  She and her husband make up Angelo Studios.  It's not that she is just a photographer and web designer but she is a knitter and that means she understands the obsession.  I finally felt comfortable with leaving my baby in her capable hands.  She didn't let me down!

Take a look around and let me know what you think.

I know it has been a while since I updated things so hopefully I will be posting a lot at least for a while just to get caught up.  Lets start with the puppies.  They are growing fast and are always chewing on something they shouldn't be.  In fact they have now figured out that I get very angry if they chew on yarn, fiber or the spinning wheel.  There is a reason God made puppies so cute, it's so you don't kill them before they begin behaving themselves and aren't they cute. 

I did finish my Bono Kimono and I am very happy with how it has turned out.  I did run out of yarn at the very end but luckily I know the dyer.  I took about 5 tries to get it just right but you can't tell where I started the new yarn.  I got the wear it out last Saturday night the the Hot Loops party (next post) and got a lot of compliments.  

This is a great first big project easy but not completely mindless.  If any of you decide to make it I would love to hear you opinions.

Don't forget to look around the new site and let me know what you think of it.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. xoxo Stacy 

OK, really I do love the puppies BUT.... they decided to play in the Cashmere/Merino! I didn't kill them but I did scream a little. OK so this is one way for me to get to keep one for myself. I have to admit I am really really looking forward to spinning this up. There are just not enough yummy words to describe how incredibly soft and and and wonderful it is. I will show you how it turns out. Believe it or not I have been so incredibly busy. The Bono Kimono is really coming along well. I had an emergency project that had to be done and had to take a short break from it but I think I am back on track now. The Bono Kimono has really been a hit at Loops so much so that I have had to dye a bunch more glam for them and there will be another class on it this month. To all my friends in Arkansas and Missouri I finally got the orders out to One City Market in Rogersville, MO and Little Bo Peep in Eureka Springs AR. Wow I can't tell you how excited and honored I am to have Tempted in these stores. Trust me if you are over that way go to these shops. They are the kind of places to spend hours knitting, talking and sipping tea with great friends in.
