Sweet Baby Knits





This sweet sweater is darling in a 3 month old size. It's from baby Gap, I didn't knit it even though I wished I could have.

Wood Kniting Needles and Organic Yarn



Green organic threads! I am in awe of how delicate nature can be. So perfectly coiled on it's own. I took these small vine threads that were attached to little pieces of branches and put it against my painting canvas so you can compare for size! It is a miniature version of what my knitting looks like after I've pulled out rows of stitches--. I just cannot say "I am a knitter," and stand very tall and straight when I say it. More appropriately I could say, "I am a thread winder and unwinder." For some super knitting check out ravelry. A fun group of knitters who can yes, knit! I will continue to "garden knit" for now.

White Wednesday Bird



This wool felt bird watches out my window on a nest that fell after a storm. She looks cozy and it looks like she made it just her size. She is content just to sit there and look beautiful.





Sometimes she likes the company of other white fuzzies like this yarn.




She also likes these dainty cookies and tries to hide behind the fern leaf.

Do stop by faded charm cottage for lovely white decorating and gorgeous photographs.

Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival Yarns and Fibers



Saturday afternoon I did get over to the Sheep and Wool Festival...everything there was eye candy if you love sheep, llamas, angora goats, angora rabbits, fibers and yarns galore! This shawl and sweater caught my eye. Aren't they beautiful? Made from wool. The one on the right...so vintage looking, but it's brand new.





These yarn colors I just oohed and aahed over. I did buy one crochet scarf pattern. The exciting part is that some of these vendors also sell online and some on etsy! I have more pictures and will get them posted soon. When we left my head was spinning with ideas and wanting to learn new techniques.

Yarn Knitting Girl Cat Folk Art


Fall and cool weather are here! A new little painting of the yarn girl knitting socks for santa. Yes, Santa Claus. Two kitties help with the production. One works with yarn tension and the other on her lap tests for durability. Up for sale now.
I think she looks cute in her beanie. They're not just for kids.
