These were sent off to the UK on Thursday to one lucky buyer! I'm so excited :) The etsy shop is empty now, until I get some new base yarn...Until then, I keep myself busy with all the WIPs that never seem to make any progress, and tryin to think about what to make for the One Skein Secret Pal swap, and the Knit Sock Kit Swap. No photos yet, sorry...
But last weekend Karen, Evie and I (knitters from work) did get to meet Debbie Bliss over brunch at SNS! I was running late, so I forgot my camera, but Monica captured the event wonderfully! Debbie talked about her experience as a machine knitter, and how she learned how to hand knit, design patterns, and how she chooses her colors (based on what's happening in fashion in Milan!) The most exciting part was that we all got to try on the sample sweaters that were modeled in her books. Here I am in a cute cardi from an unreleased book that comes out in September...I can't wait to get it so I can make this!!!
I also got an autographed copy of her new book, Pure Silk, and hope that Furry will buy me the yarn for the cap sleeve top for my BIG birthday next month. (Furry, in case you're reading this: I need 7 skeins of the pure silk yarn in either turquoise or magenta!!)
Happy knitting on this rainy weekend!

ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun time. I can't wait to make that sweater too!
ReplyDeletethat's a gorgeous top! and how hot is that yarn you're sending out! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater looked even better in person and it suits Julsey really well. It was a great event, and all the sweaters were so drool-worthy...
ReplyDeleteI wish the DB pure silk was cheaper, oh good gravy. There are so many sweet designs; my co-workers and I drool every single day at the Debbie Bliss of it all.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine snuggling in something made of it... Oh wait, I have, I always steal the shop model shrug they sent us to wear in the AC.
Beautiful hand dyes, by the way.
