Sunday, Sweet Sunday
One Skein Wonder in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran dusty pink. Actually a two skein wonder. Very wonderful nice soft yarn. The sizing on this pattern is tricky. I made the smallest size for my niece, but well, I had to move it up 3 sizes and it's still pretty tiny. I'm counting on the stretchability. I think I'll make a few more of these babies. They really fill that immediate gratification need.
I talked my self out of going out shopping for more things I don't need. (I really want a George Foreman Grill since I heard it can go in the dishwasher!) Okay well I confess, I shopped on line for some Berocco Chincilla, closing out at Kyarns to make a bunny and a bear. And oh well, I added on a couple skeins of the Lana Grossa Cool Wool always aspiring to make a hat that an actual boy/man will wear.
But other then that I had a productive day in the jewelry-making department.
A little late, there are some Stars and Stripes stitch markers, some earrings and bracelet from the ruby beads a friend gave me, and a bunch of purple bracelets, stash-busting and to celebrate The Fabulous and Inspiring Miz Lolly's Project Spectrum Purple Month
Alas the purple did not scan well.
I frogged my Watermelon Dublin Bay sock and have turned the heel on the redo on 60 stitches instead of 72. The colors are lined up in a whole new way with some very interesting pooling. I'll take a picture when more of it is done.

You are a creating, crafting dervish! The OSW is adorable. I thought that DB yarn was incredibly soft. Hooray for more cool weatherr for Nuuanu today!
Hi Barb! You were busy making some cool jewelry. I am itching to make some jewelry - it's been so long. I just showed my girlfriend Psyche and she absolutely loves him. She wanted to know if you are selling any Totoros.
Oh your One Skein Wonder is so beautiful in that yarn! Pretty nice bead work you are doing there too.
The dusty pink is so lovely, and wonderful bead work too!
Go girl, you are soo productive. I really like that OKW. Pretty color. I've always wondered about the fit though.
