What fun!  My dyes from Victorian Elegance arrived yesterday.  Today I was able to get in some play time with them.  The lace is going on my little jacket!

More Bookmarker Samples

Still working on bookmark samples for the senior ladies at Garden Plaza in Post Falls.

The LOVE one is finished...I'll finish the rest tomorrow and take them over to tantilize them ;-)

Mohair Madness!

Hello,

Okay... I have gone back to the seam side out version of my little jacket and I have selected some divine mohair yarn from Mountain Colors out of Corvallis, Montana...my home state!

http://www.mountaincolors.com/  These two ladies have been doing their own dye work for 19 years.

And if you go to http://www.paradisefibers.net/Mountain-Colors-Yarn-Mohair-p/999014.htm you can browse all the wonderful colors available.  Maybe you have a project that needs a special touch.  The color I have selected is Bitterroot Rainbow.  I think this will work better than the Gold Rush I have on hand...it is going to be awesome...I can hardly wait!

The mohair yarn is all fuzzy...not smooth like the yarn in this sample...but it will be these colors.

Hey Fiber Fans!

Well I have my little jacket put together!  Now I am stuck on how to finish the edges.  My original plan was to put a bead and mohair crochet edge on it like you see on this cuff.

...but now I am thinking I might want to use the nice finished edges from my sheet of felt to make a 'ruffle' edge.  The next question is should I put it seam side out and attach it with the bead and mohair?  Or should I go with the more traditional look and put the seam in?  What do you think?  Let me know.  You don't have to leave your name you can sign on anonymously.
