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.

Hubby's Shark Scarf
This is my first double knit project that I started May 2014 and I hope to finish before winter 2015. My hubby loves sharks so he is excited to get this scarf. The problem is that in an hour I might get 3 rows done. The pattern is very well written and once I wrote out the pattern for the repeat argyle pattern it went faster. You have to knit the first stitch and then purl in the other color. It gets more complicated when I get to end when it will say the same phrases in Chinese.

Yarn: Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids & Quatro Colors in Steel and Marine

Now I Have a Horse Request!
It took me an hour to make this last night. Good thing I know about how a shark looks to put the fins right. I think the designer meant them to be knitted in the row but the instructions weren't clear. I would have stuffed it earlier but was waiting for the instructions to say when. I managed to stuff it while I still had 3 stitches on the needle. It's done in size 6 with worsted weight. Pattern is here: http://mimulusknit.blogspot.com/2009/12/im-dreaming-of-great-white-christmas.html I've been asked to do a horse next. Off to search Ravelry for a pattern!
