Plan Ahead

It's raining again.  We had a thunderstorm this morning - rather strange for the end of April!  I'm still knitting with 100% cotton and cotton blends - they are really yummy!

I'm looking forward to making a couple shawls out of silk.  I want to make myself a silk shawl for Rosh HaShana.  If you would like a special lace shawl for yourself, order it now so it will be ready in plenty of time for Rosh HaShana.

Natural Fibers and Spring Shawls and Accessories

I’ve been knitting instead of being online.  I made a mohair lacey leaf beret which I finished while we were still having rain storms.

I’ve been knitting for spring with hand-dyed natural fibers from Soul Wool, a local company.  Their cottons and cotton /viscose blends are really yummy and soft.  I also like the way their viscose works up.  I’m looking forward to making shawls from their hand-dyed silk.

I’ve made some headbands, a couple of hats and shawls.  I have also made some necklaces.  A couple women want to buy headbands to use with over their head-coverings.  One woman even wants to use a necklace to dress up her hats.  I sold a few headbands and a plastic bag holder.

I’ve had an invitation to come and help dye yarns at Soul Wool.  I’m really looking forward to going there and actually dying some yarns.  I don’t think I’ll be able to go before Pesac, but I really hope I can arrange to go afterwards.
