Preparations

These are the pieces I've cut out for my current project. There are parts that I'm happy with and other's that I'm not. I may be abandoning it if it doesn't take a change for the better.

Purpleberries for T

Holiday Embellishing

This is a preview of my first annual Christmas card.

First Hat

This is my very first attempt at crochetting a hat. I hope it fits!

Lil'Lamb

Knit with the skein I bought from Americo and some handspun wool from Uruguay. Measures roughly 5" x 54" . Knit on size 13 circular needles, CO 120, knit in garter stitch until desired thickens.

Nice find!

I was walking around the new temporary Winner's at the just north of Queen Street on Yonge and I found this for only $6.99!

Another WIP

Halloween for your pets!

Normally I object to people dressing up their dogs, especially in wigs and and boa's. However I saw these in the window of a shop (which I've forgotten the name of) and they were so adorable. There must have been a superhero theme going one for this halloween. Hmmm, are star wars characters considered heros?

Have I mentioned I love this wool?

Americo Originals

This new yarn/textile store has opened up at 456 Queen Street West, Toronto. I first noticed it last friday morning on my way into work, there was this delicious steel blue skein of yarn in the window. Inside are some of the most gorgeous handspun wool I've seen. Plus there are spools of crochetted "ribbons" that are sold by the yard, textiles and knitted items all from Argentina.




Nicole, kindly allowed me to take a few photos of the shop for my blog. If you happen to be in town, and you love to knit or just look at pretty things, you definately have to stop at Americo Originals!
