Finished the next article for the American Livestock Magazine. A simple block that is the first of many blocks to be created for my new project, an afghan. the afghan is meant to be a study of stitch patterns created in various degrees of difficulty. Here are a couple of sneak peeks!

Handspun love
Have gotten a little tired lately hearing people say that art yarn isn't good or useful for knitting. What is a girl to do? Knit a fun art yarn shawl of course! Here is a sneak peek before the ends are woven in.
A bulky cashgora corespun yarn plied with a polyester sequined thread. Oh, and it is a rainbow gradient yarn:). Thinking it should be another shawl!
Really into bulky lately!
Fred helped me pick a batt to spin the other day. Basically if chunk- muffin touches/loves on the wool I can't sell it. Like to keep the fibers kitty free for allergy sufferers:)
Applebutter was jonesing for more horsey treats the other day. Looking forward to when the cold weather goes away!
