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.

Almost 3,000 yards!
I finally finished this HUGE Mermaid Blanket for my daughter. It took almost 3,000 yards of yarn. It's worsted weight held double. I couldn't knit on it during the hot Arizona summers. I'm so glad its done. She picked the colors.
Since I finished one blanket, I couldn't help but start another one. This one is a patchwork one. It will be a nice small project to take. I hope I will able to sew all the squares together when I'm done. I don't like sewing knitted pieces. Pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/patchwork-triangles
Here is another test knit hat. It shouldn't take long to finish. It will be interesting to see if the pattern gets lost with the variegated yarn or not.
