I have to say I’m very pleased with the way this outfit turned out!
For this custom knit, she selected one of my hand-dye colorways and we had no problems with pooling!
A sweet little dress and pink summery shorties
I used a large lavender in front to accent. This fall I will make lavender longies to match and extend the dresses use as a tunic.
I can’t wait to see pic’s from Nicole!
Just listed to the Etsy Shop
Small Sky Blue Shorties. You know that nice clear blue that you can wear with anything. It even matches the Sumerset Tunic top!
Notice there’s not a draw string? Well, The buyer gets to select the color. White, Navy, Green …Pick a color from the rainbow and its yours or, you could just use the same blue!
Also listed today is a pair of medium shorties. These have a large hip so there is Plenty of room for pre-folds or super fluffy diapers.
These were knit with super soft Araucania Nature Wool in earthy shades of taupe, chocolate yellows and oranges
There are more Large Shorties & Sleep Sacks in the works but, I’ll also be starting Tunics & Longies for fall and winter. I just received a shipment from Wildflower Whimsy (formerly Zen) that I’m ready to dive into!
We just came home from 3 days in Chicago. Our second evening we were treated to a private sunset cruise on lake Michigan. It was beautiful, clear skies, warm breeze and the water was an amazing emerald and teal in the setting sun. When we came home I had to try and capture those colors in wool. Although my colorway doesn’t do the awesome sight justice, here is
“Changing Tides” knit up in a Soaker Sleep Sack.
Emerald green, light and deep teal with touches of the gold sun set. Listed in the Etsy Shop now.
Other new colors are….
Blues, greens & brown with a touch of white on BFL
And a bit punkish, Black, greens, orange, royal blue & Deep Purple
And for the softer side, Pinks, greens, yellows, & peach with lavender to Purple
AND! A soft and squishy Purewool order is in! 440 yards in each colorway!
I see some newborn knitting in my future.
Pam’s Skirty is in the mail.
A nice colorway that will be great to use through winter. It was a fun custom dye that I’ll try to repeat for sure.
Simple Gray shorties for Sara. Solid shorties are a good staple item for babies wardrobe. Gender neutral colors such as this gray could be used for future children…. boys or girls.
And a scrappy hat for Cindy to coordinate with the scrappy longies she purchased last month. It was a hoot trying to match up the same color repeat. Not all the colors were used but, enough to tie them together,
Playing in the dye pot last week, I think this will be a all season color way. Soon as my needles are free I think these will be longies! Who am I kidding, my “want to do” list is already a mile long but, this skein is available for customs!
On the needles now are customs for Pam again. Capri’s this time. The colors are really popping in these!
I’ve just recently found a wonderful color artist Moonlight & Laughter on Etsy. yummy color ways!
Daisy Chain
This soft hand dyed light bulky weight yarn is called "Algonquin", hand painted in shades of chocolate brown, sand, caramel and green.
Both I have in my stash available for customs!
Corrine’s Baby Doll Set is ready for Miss Milla
Pam’s Skirty should be completed tonight and in the mail Saturday. As you an see there are just a few inches left. Actually this photo was taken earlier this afternoon, it looks like 2 inches left to to complete them.
At this point I’m still taking customs but, it will be 10-14 days to start.
Are you on the customs list?
If you see anything you like let me know and I will add you to the customs list!
New Colors to play with! Now to find the time to knit for the shop! This weekend we worked more on the addition so there wasn’t much knitting done.
I did however start on on Corrine’s capri’s as I’m waiting for a
Pam’s skirty will be started this week. I’m hoping to have both orders ready to mail by Friday.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
I’ve been busy with customs and the shop is looking a bit stark!
Today I completed ”Summerset”. 0-3 mo Elizabeth Tunic & shorties just listed to the Etsy shop
I’d started the tunic a month ago and got side tracked with other knits, but it’s completed now. I love the bright & bold pastels. So garden partyish!
And a update for Corrine. (washed out photo, sorry Corrine)
This was a fun colorway to create.
The top is nearly done I just need to verify the length & on to her matching Capri’s.
Then shipped off to Australia.

Thanks again ladies for the excuse to play in the dye pots!
