Let the Yarn Fun Begin!

There are so many exciting things happening in my "Yarn Life", that I thought it best to start this blog to keep my thoughts and ideas organized.  With my husband deployed for the summer, kids out of school and doing their own thing, and this beautiful secluded island house all to myself (basically)----this is the perfect opportunity for me to bring some of my ideas and goals to fruition. 

Here's what's happening in July: 

  1. I will be releasing a new shawl pattern for purchase on Ravelry and Patternfish.  Testing is nearly complete and I'd like to stitch up another sample to photograph.  Be on the lookout in the next couple of weeks! :)
  2. Each month I will be releasing a shawl/wrap pattern for the remainder of the year.  The pattern for that particular month will only be available for purchase for that month.  After the month is over, the shawl pattern will go away until early 2013 when the patterns become available in an E-book.  
  3. July's shawl, as I said, is nearly ready for release.  I have August's shawl drafted and ready to test with a sample shawl.  If you are interested in testing for August please message me on Ravelry.  
  4. I'm knitting my very first sweater.---more on that later.
  5. I'm going to pull out a cross stitch that needs to be finished......I haven't cross stitched in over three years, so it should be an adventure!   
  6. I am stitching the "Learn To Knit Afghan" by Barbara Walker.  Yes, I know how to knit, but the squares in this book are very cool and I have about 15 colors of wool that I'm going to use to make a huge snuggly blanket for the sofa downstairs.   
 There will be lots of photos to come!  I'm off to spend the rest of the evening knitting!

    Hi there, Your Isis Tears pattern has been missing for some time, and it's now 2014. Will it be returning? xoxo

    Hello! First of all, i want to compliment all of your shawl designs. They are some of the prettiest out there! It is end of November, 2015. Wondering if Jenny's Faith shawl or the Isis tears shawl patterns will.be re-released soon. I am sorry for all the chaos, illness, and strife you have experienced in your life. In 2012, I lost a good bit of my vision due to a stroke that affected my right eye. My left eye was already blind. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Crocheting is very therapeutic for me. I can no longer drive or practice as an RN. Stuck in the house 24/7 most days. I can see just enough to crochet for family and charity. Here's hoping to see your patterns be reborn. They are simply beautiful and I know many of us are patiently waiting for this to happen. Please if you could post back, it would.be greatly appreciated. Enjoy the upcoming Christmas holiday and take care. Sue Owens
