New Colors in dyed fleece










New Colors in Roving and Fleece










A new friend, named Tiny - he's my cousins new lab. He has a hole in his stomach and they were going to put him down and my cousin said he'd take 'em. Isn't he cute.








I finished the felted Boku Bag - Free Pattern on my website - uses 2 skeins of Boku.








I made these dessert plates and am using them for roving until they sell. It's a recycled project. Old plates, crystal glasses and candlesticks.




Have been working two jobs alot this week. It will be busy until the end of June so I will only be able to be in New Prague on Wednesdays. If you have questions or need something please give me a call.




Tonight is Monday Night in Chaska, looking forward to seeing everyone.


I've been working on a sock for Josh using the new cascade sock yarn. Photo coming!

TOADS, = SPRING

Hunting for Toads!!!!







Help, let me outa here!














It's a great spring so far. Been working in the garden rather than blogging. Sorry about that.


I have had some critters in the yard this spring. One day sitting at my computer and large Tom Turkey came strutting through the yard. I went for the camera and of course, batteries depleted, couldn't get cell phone to work fast enough so I missed the photo. Rats!


Today, grandchildren were over and we found 4 toads in the window well. Thus the photos at the top. At one point all 3 toads we standing up trying to escape. We did let them go in the garden.








Have been doing alot of dye work and spinning to show what the colors look like when spun. I just did some quick singles to give you the idea.

These are for sale at the shop or by phone order. $2.50/oz. plus $3.00 shipping


The bridges are finally open again so I can make it to New Prague without going through Eden Prairie. Makes life alot easier. I will not be there on Saturday because I'm going to the Knitter's Guild "Yarn Over" in the morning and to Bungee in the afternoon. Hope to see some of you at Yarn Over.

Have you seen the pattern for Yoga Socks? So cute. No heel or toe to these. Quick but great for Yoga or pedicures. The pattern I found was on Ravelry by Rebecca Bathje. Have fun.
