Good Afternoon. DH is off at a friend's house, so I'm chillin with kids and very slowly plugging away at an owlie sleep sack. you know how that goes, knit a few stitches, break up a fight, knit a few stiches, pull 23 mo. DS off of whatever he is climbing on...

I bought some of Stacey's Izzy cw on mmw to make a hat for my Izzy, now I need to find a pattern.

Glad your DS is alright. :hug: I think I'm going to cast on my Lost in the Woods today for my Ivey!!! After that, I get to do a YYMN using Mosaic Moon scraps on Gaia bulky. Question: I know there was some discussion a little while back about switching colors for scrappies. So, do you all just start the new yarn without doing anything special, or twist them together, or what? Can someone tell me the best way to do it? Thanks!

I would either do the double knit it join, or do the felted join.

Little hard to lay on the floor and climb on chairs with hills and a skirt I like that. What'd ya use? Flip a chair over, use about 3 legs. Have some one hold the loose end or tie it around the leg. Start wrapping Handsome men you have there

Thanks! Ill try that today when Phe is napping

aw i love that!!!!!!!!!!

My yarn for Pipers andalusia turned out just like I wanted!

[Geeki]

morning everyone. I stayed up too late last night watching a movie and now I'm exhausted!

[lollytreeyarn]

Jessie, I wonder if she wound it while it was wet, and then it dryed.
Hope it bounces back.

Sorry to post and run but my boys are trying tare down the house today.

I finished these yesterday!

Originally Posted by Nielsen6 Hi ladies and Tim finished my yarn! it took maybe 2 hours to perfect the dyeing process and 3 more to dry fully. I ended up skeining it while it was still damp outside in the wind to speed up drying time. I love how it turned out, DH wants me to buy some licorice twist yarn, it was used to tie off this skein and he thought it looked cool how it dyed up I love the smell of wet yarn. Here it is, it is Montana 100% merino wool.:

Looks wonderful!

Originally Posted by PipersMomma I need to take pics of my yarn today but I dont know how to reskein things..... anyway, Im happy with how they all turned out (except the colorway one). I think Im going to dye up enough today for an andalusia for Piper.

Cant wait to see your pictures Emily!

Oh wow, now I so totally want to make a Lark for my son....I am going to have to hit up another Cestari or MMW coop....Seriously love it Lynne!! And the cowl and Peace Baby longies look great too.

Originally Posted by JessieV Pretty! Morning peeps! I got some yarn for a YYMN yesterday and I'm not sure what type of yarn it is but the mama rolled it into a ball so tight that it literally feels as dense as a baseball. I could hurt someone with this yarn ball! It's 7 ounces all rolled into a ball smaller than the normal 4 ounce ones, I'm not quite sure how she did it I hope the stretch of the yarn isn't shot.

I have had some of those too from before I got my swift and my hubby was *helping* by winding yarn for me - you can literally bounce these balls of yarn and yes they do hurt when you throw them. But I was able to soak, dry and reskein or rewind and they were fine. Good luck!!

Amy, my stars that set is absolutely stunning....I love ATTD "Thanksgiving" I have a few skeins of it here to knit up too. Melissa made me a pair of Bella Mittens from one set of it last winter and I have some left of the cestari and 2 more on superwash...maybe a matching Bella cowl or something for this year...

Those are great!

Oh!! My handspun Ellyl longies and Something Beautiful shrug were put up on Megaroo's HC today They arent up for sale yet but you can look and give me feedback on what you think of them since I didnt post the finished pics on here!!

Wow everything is lovely. I showed DS the pic of Lynn's DS, and he sad your son looks like a kid in his class named shawn. lol. Then he added he wants a sweater not a vest. Ugg why does he have to have such an opinion, a vest would have been faster no sleeves. I have MM Blue Goblin for his set. He wants pants too. lol I think I should have enough.
