The Phat Fiber theme for December is 'AuroraBorealis and Beyond,' but in my case it's a little closer to home. I'm staying inside the solar system with Saturn, one of my stock colors. A year or so ago I developed a group of colorways inspired by the planets and Saturn is one of my favorites. It is red-orange and gold, a hot and happy color and the secondary colors that form where the dyes mix are very nice. There is pink and coral, both pale and saturated. During the Thanksgiving break, I dyed up a few batches and made up samples for the Sampler box, taking advantage of a bit of time off from work to play with fiber. I even sent them in as soon as the post office reopened on the Monday after Thanksgiving. I always look forward to getting my own box. It is both gratifying and inspiring.With the shopping season in full swing, I have knit hats and hats and hats. Now I'm ready to deliver the last of them to the shops and knit for friends and family. As so often happens, when I sat down to begin I knit a disaster, using a much too thick yarn so I not only have something to un-knit, I have to reknit it. I's okay I like to knit! Since it's my own yarn, I have already made new plans for it.
My Etsy shop has been rocking the past few weeks, thanks to my new and loyal customers. I have been taking piles of boxes to the post office 3 or 4 days a week and sending them to their new homes. Thanks! I appreciate your continued support.
