My Mohair/Silk Sweaters and Dresses in Other Colors

12 Replies

Everyone loves this soft and fuzzy yarn, don’t they? I do, and this is one yarn that I go to again and again throughout the year, it’s season-less.

In addition to my pink and white knits, (you saw those collections last week here and here) I’ve used this yarn to knit sweaters and dresses in dusty lavender, blue green, medium sky blue, golden yellow, tan, and fuchsia.

I think that this collection of photos along with last week’s two collections shows everything I’ve made with this yarn. Now, I think it’s time to look forward, and knit some more with this yarn!

Thank you so much for reading my blog and commenting! I appreciate it so much!

Bye for now!

Day four of waking up to a dark and cloudy morning. Geez, enough already! It looks like the sun may come out today. Please, sun won’t you peek out from behind the clouds today?

I don’t know about you, but these cloudy days start to pile up on me and leave me feeling tired and drained. I had a difficult time getting any sewing done yesterday; all I wanted to do is sit in front of the fire and knit, knit, knit. Today I have to do better.

I thought that looking at sunny photos might help.

If you’re stuck in the clouds like we are, did that help? I think it helped me. Now, to push myself out of this chair, feed the pups, and get moving. And, I see some clearing in the sky. Yay!!!

Hope you have a sunny day today!

Thanks for reading! Bye for now!

Another Weekend Here and Gone

How did your weekend go? Mine flew by.

Yesterday afternoon I drove the short distance to the nearest forest preserve. I wanted to see how fall was progressing in nature (and get some exercise). As you can see from my photos things are still pretty green. I wanted to photograph the wild dark purple asters and lavender monarda, but the battery on my phone died before I could capture those.

I captured some white asters.

And milkweed…

This is all forest preserve land.

Sometimes trees become natural art sculptures; I always like to capture those.

In my studio, I knit another Santa hat, started embroidering Pukipuki’s Christmas dress, finished up a fun ensemble for Gina, and Millie picked out her Christmas dress fabric.
