Long time no blog!

Sometimes the weeks just race by with a will of their own. Since I last blogged, I’ve been to the trade show TNNA in Columbus — we shared convention space with a group of haunted house producers; how fun was that?–

and I spent a glorious weekend in Amish country at the Lancaster Yarn Shop’s first-ever knitting retreat:

and in between there’s been all sorts of stuff going on. I’m finishing a book that will be published early next year, and in the midst of working on another one that will be released next fall. It’s insanely busy, but I love it.

One of the things I have been doing a lot of, believe it or not, is dyeing. I just posted some miniskeins in my Artfire shop. I’m just dabbling in the miniskein sets to see what customer reaction is. I’ve got a terrific blue to green gradient set in a new base (mostly merino with some superfine alpaca and nylon — it’s so softy and cushy)

and I also played around with a blue-faced leicester/bamboo blend,in both gradients (this is Russian sage, going from periwinkle through gray to sage-green)

and also some colors that I dyed to work together, although they aren’t technically gradients. (I love Vintner, which has wine shades, a great transitional gray with flecks of wine and green, and grapeleaf green.)

Let me know if you’d like to see more and if so, whether you like gradients, coordinated sets or both!

  1. Absolutely love them, especially vintner – but I can never use red and green together without feeling like it’s too christmassy. Would love to see other gradients along those lines but with other color pairings.
