Today’s Table – Being Productive

So many things to show you all! I’ve been being productive and making the most of my time. But remember when I finished the epic Estonian stitch shawl? Yeah, here’s what it looks like on (and a good idea of just how huge it really is).

Attractive as all get out, when combined with jeans, and hiking boots, I know! Would you like to know more?

Today’s Table – Alpaca Scarf

As some of you might remember I was working on a scarf in hand painted alpaca. Being a luxury yarn, when I ran out of it, and still wanted more length to the scarf, I had to come up with a plan.

And plan I did! I got another alpaca yarn in a corresponding colourway, and some beads which would draw on the colours from the hand painted yarn. Then I delved into my stitch dictionaries because I wanted to make a feature of the ends and show off the beading. Would you like to know more?

Wevers Markt in Hoorn

A group of us got together to head out to Hoorn the other day. It’s about half an hour by train from Amsterdam, and on this particular day Hoorn was hosting its annual Weavers Market!

So much yarn, so many fibre related products! I think all of us thought we’d gone to heaven! Would you like to know more?

Today’s Table – Dreambird

I have been a busy little beaver finishing off my massive rainbow shawl just in time for it to get too hot to wear it!

We took it with us on our picnic last week so that Himself could take some photos for me. Would you like to know more?

Today’s Table – Dreambird

There were a few questions when I posted about visiting Enkhuizen, regarding the yarn I bought. The project I was in the middle of was one you’ve all seen before, my Dreambird. The inspiration came from a ball of Kauni in the “EQ” colourway.

I love the rainbow so much! And had been dreaming of this yarn since it was first brought to my attention years ago! Would you like to know more?
