Knitting Party

I recently helped with a birthday party/overnight knitting retreat. The theme was "all things knitting," which as you can see, included the cake.

We dyed yarn with kool-aid, learned some new knitting techniques, needle felted, wet felted, and ate lots of good food. Fiber makes a great party theme!

Wonders never cease

I have had customers come in the shop to buy wool for soakers, which are a cloth diaper cover. While I am supportive of any kind of knitting and of the use of cloth diapers, I never pictured myself making soakers. However, Ian needs them so I rose to the call of duty and made the first pair. SO CUTE!! I'm working on a pair in the next size and waiting feedback on the fit of this pair. I think he can use 2 pairs in each size, but I'll wait to be sure the parents like them first. I know he will love them because his Grandma made them for him.

I got the pattern from Curly Purly. You can read more about soakers.
