Aparigraha

So I opened another shop on Etsy. I named it aparigraha which means non- attatchment. After doing out taxes I realized that my yarn inventory, is, in a sentence OUT OF CONTROL. I have freely admitted being addicted to fiber, but at this point I don't think I could ever use all this yarn. So I am going to let go. Let go of some of the excess stuff in my life. Which in yogi standards is going to help clear the clutter out of my head. Help me see things better. Help me make more room for newer yarns (did I just write that??!!??) Oh boy. Control, I will practice control. So anyhow...if your a knitter, or someone who is just starting out, the yarns are priced to sell!

Confessions of a Serial Etsy Shopper

Part 2 in my Lenten "confessional" series. This next shop is one of my favorites! (OK they're all my favorites) But Bobbi over at Kittygrrlz knows how to spin up some good yarn porn. I check her site everyday and there is always one or two things that I am drooling over and must have immediately. She is so popular over at Etsy that, knitters, heed my warning: If you LOVE it BUY it, or someone else will!!!! That being said, Bobbi is a sweetheart and when someone (Phydeaux) beat me to buying yarn I was dreaming about, Bobbi respun me some. So she calls this "Functional Art Yarn" and it took me a few tries, but I have found it quite easy to work with. I adorn my capes with it. I could be happy just draping myself in it :) But I knit it and put the items up for sale. So go, visit, tell her I sent you, keep her spinning these gorgeous, beautiful, fun to knit yarns!

Capelet Crazy

I seem to be obsessed with making capes right now. Crazy obsessed with it. I have so my ideas floating around in my head, I can't get them made fast enough. My latest was a creation that just came to me....ding....lightbulb over head...and I was inspired. It was a challenge piece for the FDL team Our February challenge was Casablanca, and I was a day late to submit. I love the way it came out, very old hollywood~ish.
