Habu anyone?

I am so happy to be back on-line!

Well to start I had a fun time at Habu...a new shipment of yarn arrived while I was there. Talk about a kid in a candy shop!

I picked up two kits the fringe tape choker and a kid mohair cape. Fiddle head fern yarn, cashmere that I can use as a warp..it was coated in water soluble vinyl coating. more mohair to mix with some silk for a lighter than air shawl.



Caaaaaashmere for a super webby weaving

this is fiddlehead cotton silk


and this is the choker. It works up super quick! Lovely brown mohair that caught my eye I don't know what that will be. Does anyone have any ideas?


on the needles is the kusha kusha...that is taking me a while.

I started another baby blanket with the ladies at work! There are many babies expected.

Am super super busy at work....there is too much going on. I need more hours in the day! I am really looking forward to a long weekend.

Well hugs to you all!

Thanks so much for stopping by knitbuddies and leaving a comment.

I really have absolutely no idea what I am going to do with the fiddlehead. I actually though about picking up the rammie as a warp yarn since they sale one that is the same colour of the taupe and weaving a scarf out of it. The other though was to knit a net like lace scarf with it. Though I worry about how fragile the yarn would be if it is knitted.

What lovely treasures you just ordered.

Weaving project in the sun

Image
Hello! It was a wacky crazy horrific week at work! There wasn't too much time to work on projects. I am working on one new baby blanket and of course my Weaving II project. Here is the inspiration picture along with the work in progress. A sunny spot full of the yarn I am using. Light blues through black with a tiny touch of yellow as an accent color. The warp is a light grey tencel. The weft is a mix of yarns. I have yarn from Habu there as well. Thank you for the nice comments on Hubby's garden. It has come a long way since we moved in. Here is a close up of the Dogwood flowers on the west side of the house. Enjoy the great weather! Hugs, Marie

Can you Habu?

isn't it pretty?? A-129 in Ice Blue...the only thing that I don't like about Habu Yarns is the yarns don't have names...just numbers. It is a nice combo of 90% wool and 10% nylon. Am using honking big needles and will make a cool wrap/scarf. I love the color...very pretty blue. I am feeling better a little tired. All results are in...everything was benign (sp? can't spell right now) Am taking iron pills and vitamin c to help my body absorb the iron. Have gotten lots of rest. I've been a total slacker at work. I still get in at 6:00 a.m. but I leave between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. I started weight watchers yesterday. I just need to lose a little weight and am looking into the New York Health and Raquet club for exercise. Lola bird will be going for nice walks with me. What is up with the weather in NY lately? It is cold out. I put a jacket on to go to the Dr. I was cold! Have a great day! Enjoy! Marie
