This is my blog for my new business. I've been knitting since Feb 2009 after a break of 15+ years. I first learned from books but picked up again since my friend dyed the most beautiful yarns and I just couldn't collect them. I started to spin in Aug 2010 on a spindle and then on a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started to weave Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. I've been test knitting since 2011 and a sample knitter since 2016.

Squirrel!! By That I Mean Distractions
"Squirrel!" gets yelled out at our house. It refers to Dug the dog in the movie "Up". He's a dog and squirrels distract him. I'm very much like Dug when it comes to crafting (or my husband would say "life in general"). I should be focusing on finishing Christmas gifts as I have probably said in the last few posts. I also spend too much time on Ravelry. Anyway, one of my favorite publishers Cooperative Press is doing a KAL (knit-a-long). http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/cooperative-press/3078452/1-25#19
She has a free pattern up and the deal is that its basically a pattern for a scarf. Free pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/icehouse
Now she would like people to knit it up but you can knit it up as a cowl, hat, double knit or any way you like. A shawl came to my mind and below is my idea and a page of the pattern (its like 3 or 4 pages long!).
