Summer Is Done!

Literally...right?

Last week I had seen that the Blackbird Designs Autumn Loose Feathers was due out soon so I thought I better get the Summer one done ASAP!

OK, to be honest here, as I was working this, it just wasn't doing much for me. Several times I contemplated just stopping altogether. But I carried on. And now that it is done and pressed...I LOVE IT! There will be 3 designs total and can't wait to get Autumn.

I was lucky enough to be another giveaway winner. This one was for the Gentle Arts Sampler Threads that are used in Blackbird Designs Casting A Spell. It was sponsored by Gentle Arts through Needlework Retailer.


There are 5 colors for this design. When you left a comment for this giveaway, you were to also suggest another GAST color that would be good for Halloween. Mine was Kiwi. There were kind enough to also include that also. Thank you Gentle Arts!


I have noticed alot of knitting going on with fellow bloggers. I, too, have been doing my fair share. I recently made myself matching beaded neckwarmer and mittens.



OK, the neckwarmer picture is turned sideways...not sure why. Oh well. These are going to be so nice and warm for winter! They are knitted with a wool Malibrigo yarn.


I also just finished a pair of very warm and comfy Slipper Socks.


These are knit with a very fun yarn with is part wool called, Jelly Beenz! I love that name.


Well, I guess that is it for now. Thanks for visiting.

Happy Stitching :)
