It’s been awhile since I posted an update the status quo over here. I suppose I’m a bit over due! Dyeing: I’m temporarily suspending dyeing. My current living situation doesn’t really have the adequate space or utilities needed. I should resume dyeing again in Fall 2011. I do have some back stock, so if you’re [...]

It’s sale time!

May 21, 2010

I’m getting ready to bring in some new products, so I’ve put almost everything in the shop on sale. I’m in the process of transition to 500 yard hanks for my Lilith Sock and Venus Fingering blends, which means I need to get rid of the ones I have now. Check out some of the [...]

Sneak peek: Yarn4Socks June Not-So-Sock Club

May 7, 2010

Last year I was fortunate enough to design for the Yarn4Socks Sock club, and this year I have the honor of both designing and dyeing for the June installment of the Not-So-Sock Club. My inspiration for the club design and color was the film Citizen Kane. For a black and white film, I had a [...]

I made a hat. Normally, this would not be that exciting of a statement, except I made a hat at the end of March, just weeks before spring. In retrospect, this was not the smartest planning. But it’s such a cute hat! Thinking back, this hat may be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve [...]

Let Them Eat Cake! Socks

March 26, 2010

I’ve been working on these socks for a few weeks now, and they’re still not complete. But I couldn’t hold out any longer, so here are some incomplete sock pictures. A lot of people have been asking how this color knits up – and I can’t quite blame them. It’s a bit odd. I can [...]

The Stitches West Recap

March 2, 2010

I’m back home after Stitches, busy unpacking and updating the Femme Fatale Fibers shop. I had a little bit leftover, but I also left some at home for those who were unable to attend.

I’ve been a busy little bee lately. Between my thesis, working, and preparing for Stitches West, I’ve hardly had a moment of peace for myself. But that’s ok, it’ll be worth it in the long run. I hope? I’ve been focusing mostly on dyeing some of my new colors for Stitches, making sure I have [...]

Here are some more sneak preview photos of the colors I’ll be bringing with me. Captions and colors are [...]

Some FOs: A baby sweater, scarf, shawl, blanket, and some baby booties and socks

December 27, 2009

I appear to be a bit behind on my finished objects blogging, so I’ll just get it all out now in one big post. Back in November, I finished a pair of socks. I knit them two at a time using circular needles, toe up, with an afterthought heel. It’s two Koigu KPPPM colors, and [...]

Dr. Camille Saroyan is intelligent, graceful, and uncompromisingly organized. The simple lace scarf would fit right at home in sleek and professional wardrobe. Knit in one piece from start to finish, Saroyan is a [...]
