Collaboration with Mac-A-Doodles

You can "spot" the item.  I'll feel cool.

Alright...

Who is from Detroit that keeps looking at my blog like a bajillion times?

It's pretty easy to put a tracker on your blog.

I use blog tracker - very easy to use.  I like that I can use the geolocation option and see where people are from that are viewing my blog.

So, do I know you Detroit person? 

Any my friends that do wonder over from facebook or maybe even have me on their RSS feeds.  Thank you for caring enough to look at my craft stuff.

Whimsical Fluff Congo

All items can be found at the Whimsical Fluff Congo.  I'm on board for September, October, ,and November - and then I'll re-evaluate to see if I want to keep doing it.

For this month, I tunisian crocheted "Rustic Rainbow" from last months stocking.  It didn't sell - so I got to play with it! I just love how it turned out... and the ruffle cuffs - so cute.  These longies are made of almost 9oz of yarn.  Nothing is impossible, but a baby leaking through tunisian crochet is one of those almost impossible things.

I also dyed some yarn.  First up, "Scarecrow" on Marr Haven. 

I'm so pleased with how it turned out.  It's going to work up beautifully - there is no doubt in my mind.

How about some camo ooga booga on cestari?  In the cloth diapering community - those little ooga booga monsters are a hit.  I'm not even going to pretend that I don't love them too! Gretch, from Mac-A-Doodles paired up with me and she made a diaper to match!

Finally, I can show off "Flashy Sparkles or Something Like That".  I tried to live on the wild side and do the skeins separate from each other.  It didn't work out.  The other skein is sitting here... I will make a soaker out of it at some point.  I'd also like to mention the runner up name of this yarn was "Continental Shelf" because Brandon said I should call it something related to the ocean.  He doesn't think people buying yarn would enjoy my lame sense of humor... you know because naming yarn after a line a Muppet sings is just a bajillion times cooler. 

I still have some Marr Haven to dye this week, but it's going to rain tomorrow and I just love being able to dry my wool outside. Maybe tomorrow night if Wednesday looks decent. 

I don't know where I'm going to dye when it gets cold.  My husband supports me in everything I want to do, but I have a feeling he isn't going to be down with me dyeing yarn on the kitchen floor with garbage bags taped down so I don't ruin it.  I can tell you from experience that bleach does clean dye up.

Back.

We have had a busy two weeks with my father in law visiting and Everett's christening, but I'm back in business.

I made a soaker - I also made longies, but they have already been sent to a fellow wool lover.

 

Who knew soakers could also be worn as a hat.  He won't wear a hat, but he will sure walk around with a soaker on ALL day.

I have yarn dyed too, but need to drag the lightbox down to take some pictures... or drag myself upstairs when Everett isn't sleeping and take some pictures.  It's so pretty and I can't wait to show it off!
