Dreamforest

I have finished my Dreamforest (Dreambird) shawl and I'm very happy with it!
The green/blue yarn is a super yummy hand spun by Vickevira – it's a blend
of BFL, baby alpaca and Tussah silk. That says it all, doesn't it?

Drying

Super chunky

I have added some yummy, super chunky merino/alpaca to my range.
70% merino and 30% alpaca makes it very soft and little bit fluffy.
It's nice and thick so you need 12mm at least to knit it.

I dyed some of the skeins stripy – looks pretty cool doesn't it?

And check out my brand new 12mm knit-pro tips!

They are divine to use!

I have listed 10 skeins in my felt shop.

My creative space

So what have I been up to this week?

Well, I have finished three brooches:

Hello Kitty

Space Invaders

Oooops...

Still have to finish the merino cuffs with skulls...

...and the new ones with a frill. I really like this new pattern!

And I’m working on a beanie, made of my hand-dyed cotton

My day at the market

When I woke up this morning it was torrential rain...
So I went to Devonport Craft Market with very low expectations on sales
but a good day, socialising with all my crafty friends.

But to my big surprise I had good sales! And I got an order.
And some Devo friends dared the rain and came around.
So I have had a great day today!
Now I’m gonna put my feet up with a cuppa.

50g balls of Happy-go-knitty hand-dyed cotton yarn

And 5g balls to add some stripes. Or for decoration.
I have had customers buying them simply because they’re cute!

Why not buy a beanie kit and make your own beanie?

Soft and warm merino/alpaca cuffs

To market

I’m doing the Devonport Craft Market tomorrow.
It’ll be the first time I bring my hand-dyed cotton yarn, so that will be interesting.

Oh, and I'm featured as “Meet the seller” on their blog
so if you want to know a little bit more about me, click here.

I have made some new merino cuffs.
The beads on the 3rd pair are blue but it doesn’t show in this photo...

I hope to have finished this pair too...

I have bought alpaca yarn from some alpaca breeders outside Christchurch.
It’s 80% alpaca and 20% wool which makes it strong but still really soft and nice.
I have to use 2mm needles though to make the cuffs tight enough, so it’s quite fiddly...
