Noro World of Nature Volume 20

Sadly, I just found out that Noro World of Nature Volume 20 has been discontinued. There are so many excellent patterns in that book, I'm upset that it'll be gone soon. I'm holding onto one and I have one more available. After that, woosh - gone.

It's got the entrelac vest and basketweave jacket that have been so popular. I've made the vest, which is awesome, and want to make the basketweave jacket too.

Finished - Misti Shoftest Chunky Throw

I finished this throw for my daughter's friend, Karn. It's absolutely beautiful and soft, but it sheds like crazy. I tried fluffing it w/cool air in the dryer. That didn't work. So, I finally called the manufacturer, Misti International. They suggest that you hand wash and lay flat to dry. Well, I guess we'd better do that out on the lawn....otherwise, who has a spot that large to lay it out????

Karn loves it and says she doesn't mind the shedding, but I feel bad that it's so beautiful, but sheds. blah, blah, blah, enough.

Soak Wash Ad Dress

I, like many others, saw the Clara Dress in the Soakwash ad and just HAD to have the pattern. Well, it only comes as a kit, so you have to buy the Tutto Opal-Isager Alpaca 2 along with it. Unfortunately, the yellow as shown in the ad is discontinued, so I bought the purple - #013. I've seen other sites where people were already working on the dress and love the yarn, so - what the heck.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT!!!

If you'd like to purchase the kit here is the info: (why make you all go out there looking for it yourself.) The Tutto people were super nice and said that there was a lot of interest and they thank the SoakWash people for their help.
