I just finished this custom up for a very good customer of mine. I still have all her yarn to dye but this was really fun to create. Those are newborn kissaluvs diapers. Aren't they adorable?

Well the good news is that I'm chugging right along with my customs list. I have two very large orders to complete this week and a handful of small orders. The large orders range from 40oz to 60oz custom dyed. Yikes!

The bad news is I've been down for the count the past couple of weeks. First I threw my back out doing goodness knows what. I was out of commission for most of last week and just finally this past Friday was able to bend over without excruciating pain. It's completely healed now. However as I was laying on my back for a few days I was fighting off a chest cold. Today is day 11 of it and while I don't feel many symptoms of a cold, I have been wheezing and coughing a LOT.

I just got back from the doctor's and it looks like I have walking Pneumonia. So I just started antibiotics today.

I think God is telling me to *rest*. Like this is possible with 4 kids right? lol

Cynthia of Plumknits sent me some really funky soy silk yarn to dye up for a customer of hers. It was fun playing with it. These are the finished skeins: Grassy Fields and Earth Foliage. I call it tofu yarn ;)

Some news and new pics!

First the news. My gallery is fully updated with a couple of new colorways and also pictures of completed knits. They are on all the yarn pages so be sure to check out the new goodies everywhere. Secondly, I'm up to my eyeballs in yarn dyeing today. There are 4 orders spread out on my table at this very moment and about a dozen or more skeins following those ready for instock. My goal is to complete all those this weekend and get them all listed next week sometime. It feels great to really get my hands dirty today!

And now onto pictures:



First is my newest colorway named "Harley". This was inspired by my mother's leather Harley jacket she wears when my parents ride on their Harley. She is currently Tunisian crocheting a scarf out of this skein to match her jacket. My mom is a bit of a wild child! lol




And lastly...SOCKS! My friend Lyndsey knit these socks for my giant size 11 feet. She knit them out of some sock yarn I dyed for her in my "Punk" colorway. These are my very first knitted pair of socks ever and I'm already addicted. They are so warm and soft! Thanks Lynds!
